How to remember numbers?

Digital information is abstract, so it is not always amenable to memorization. There are many ways to train your memory to make this process easier. Let's take a closer look at how to remember numbers.

Without special exercises for the brain, an ordinary person is able to memorize numbers by pronouncing 7 signs aloud in the forward order, and in the reverse - 5. A trained memory endows with limitless possibilities. It is important to find a suitable memorization method. There are certain groups of techniques.

• "Figures - images" - create stable images of each digital sign. You need to focus on its external similarity with a specific subject. For example, a unit looks like a spear or a pillar. It is not uncommon to use a linked story to recreate a chain of multiple digital series.
• "Numbers are words" - each character is assigned an alphabetic equivalent. You need to find 10 matching letters that will replace all single digits. Sometimes, when memorizing numbers, they come up with words that begin with the desired letters. Then a proposal is made. Two-digit numbers are usually encoded into ready-made words. The Shed system offers to select words with the same number of letters in a number. For example, the number 2865675 becomes the sentence "There were scientific books on the rack for a long time." It is enough to remember the phrase in order to reproduce the number at the right moment.
• "Numbers are numbers" - they select the necessary associations with numbers and use them to memorize the digital series.

There are simple techniques for memorizing numbers.

The crochet hook method is popular. It is necessary to present the following pictures to visualize each digit:

• mentally transform a unit into a nail or an arrow;
• deuce - into a swan or a curved snake;
• three - in a mustache or a flying seagull;
• four - in an inverted chair or sail;
• five - in a five-pointed star or a fish hook;
• six - in an open padlock or whistle;
• seven - in a hockey stick or poker;
• eight - in a tumbler or hourglass;
• nine - in a tadpole or a jumping dolphin;
• a donut, lifebuoy, ball, plate, etc. can serve as a way to memorize the number "0".

This is how the hooks are created in the imagination. For example, using this method, you need to memorize the number 804. It is enough to imagine a snowman resembling an eight. There is a snowball next to it - a blank for a snow woman. This lump is like zero. At a distance, a chair is thrust upside down into the snow, which in the imagination seems to be a four. The picture is imprinted in the thoughts, and at the right moment it is reproduced.

Large numbers are easier to remember if you create two-digit combinations from them and associate them with bright images, namely:

• the combination of two zeros resembles glasses;
• 03 - ambulance car;
• 11 - skis;
• 25 - a quarter of the year (snowy winter, golden autumn);
• 69 - sixty nine (6 virgins);
• 78 - seventy-eight (sowing, you can expand the word: north), etc.

Individual associations are often used to memorize numbers. You need to attach the number to some important date for a person, height, size, number of the school in which he studied. If you need to memorize the digital code of the lock, the details of your passport, identity card or phone number, you need to remember important events from your life.

For example, someone is looking for a job. Passing on a trolleybus past a banner with a phone number of an organization where specialists are needed, a person is not able to write down the number. There is only one way out: quickly remember.

Let's look at an example of how memorization occurs with the help of personal associations. Let's say the telephone number 942-16-39 is fixed in memory by the following reasoning:

• a grandmother was born in 1942;
• On the 16th my brother's wedding took place;
• the last two digits match your best friend's apartment number.

After that, a visual image is created in the imagination: a grandmother at her brother's wedding in a friend's apartment. In the future, it is possible not to write down this number, because it will be imprinted in the memory for a long time.

The alphanumeric code is used to memorize long numbers. First, the numbers are translated into letters and then added into different words. So, the certificate number 864610 is turned into the word "in the evening" when mentally comparing the eight with the letter "B", sixes - with "E", fours - with "H", ones - with "P", the numbers "0" - with the letter " O".

Some replace the number with the initial letter of its name. Zero turns into "H", one - into "E", two - into "D", three - into "T", four - into "H", five - into "P" and so on. At the right moment, the passphrase pops up in memory automatically. When memorizing short numbers, the visualization method is often used in its pure form.

They can blink, move, fall. Saying aloud at the same time allows you to quickly memorize the desired number. For example, for the purchase of a shoe cabinet, measurements of the hallway were made, which should be recorded in the imagination in giant red numbers right on the wall.

Locating method involves the mental use of objects arranged clockwise in a familiar place. You can attach any number to them. To do this, all objects should be numbered and the numbers corresponding to them should be well remembered.

The method of associative connections is ideal for working with children. It is easier for kids to learn to recognize numbers from pictures in which the same number of objects is depicted next to a digital sign. For example, about 2 there are 2 apples, 4 - 4 strawberries. The two-digit numbers are best memorized when laying out and recounting cubes.

There are many interesting copyright techniques for young children. One of them offers short rhymes aimed at creating an association of an object with a digital form deliberately placed at the end of a rhymed couplet.

To memorize the unit, the following associative rhyme is used:

"The thin-nosed gentleman

There is always one pillar ”.

To memorize a deuce, the image of a swan is often used:

“Grass grows around the pond,

The swans swam. There are two of them. "

In one of the author's techniques, the rhyme sounds like this:

“The swan swam out to us barely,

Turned into number two! "
