There are two forms of long-term memory, which are classified as narrative memory and non-narrative memory.
Statement memory
A stated memory is a memory that can be used to discuss or manifest. It is divided into episodic memory and semantic memory.
Episodic memory refers to the memories of a certain scene.
For example, you can remember last week to go out with the family to play, the evening reunion with the family and so are the use of the memory of the scene.
Semantic memory refers to memory related to language content. Such as the words you remember, historical events, etc.
2.Non-stated memory
Non-stated memory refers to the opposite of stated memory.It also has two manifestations, namely program memory and startup memory.
Program memory refers to the memory achieved through the body, aka skill memory.
For example, cycling, swimming, playing basketball, etc. are such memories.
Start-up memory refers to the effect of a pre-event on the start-up of a post-event.
For example, when it comes to vegetables, you think of cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. A mention of fruits you will think of pineapple, watermelon, oranges and so on.
In addition to long-term memory and short-term memory of these two kinds of memory, there is a way of memory that is not included in the academic classification of memory.
It is a memory that is carried out at the same time as the action, and that is working memory.
“Working memory is like remembering the ingredients needed for dinner on the way to the supermarket” is a short-term memory associated with the action.
Working memory declines with age.

Ways to improve memory
In "common sense of memory," the author lists several ways to improve memory, for everyone to choose.
Smell, taste, memory
Have you ever had such an experience, eat out, if you eat a dish with a similar taste of cooking mom, will bring back memories.
Studies have shown that smell and taste are important for long-term memory formation.
It is said that in ancient China, people inherited history through oral. In order to be able to record the contents for a long time, people will burn special smell of vanilla, the smell and memory combine.
Using this principle, you can combine certain flavors or smells to remember some of the more difficult words or things.
Music, memory
Music and smell have the same effect.
Many people say that listening to Mozart's music helps to remember.
Because listening to his music, the human brain produces α brain waves associated with physical and mental relaxation.
However, the author of the book Persimmon Takashi is very strict, he believes that this method has not been scientifically proven, neither recommended nor opposed.
Ebbinghaus forgetting curve memory method
We've all heard of the forgotten curve of Ebbinghaus.
This is a famous experiment by psychologist Ebbinghaus.He asked the subjects to remember some meaningless string of letters, every time record their memory effect.
His results showed that 58 percent of subjects were recalled after 20 minutes, 44 percent after 1 hour, 26 percent after a day, 23 percent after a week and 21 percent after a month.
Combined with this curve, we can try to recall it when we first remember it.Go over it again on the day you learned to fight against oblivion.
Review again after a week, you can add to the forgotten content.
At the same time, you can also by writing, reading, etc., constantly stimulate the brain, this short-term memory will eventually turn into long-term memory.
Using memory
Mnemonic (mnemonic)is from ancient Roman times there is a method of mnemonic. It can be divided into series and fixed pile two. Memory is short for memory tricks and methods.
The earliest records of memory were written in the 6th-5th century BC by the ancient Greek lyricist, Simonides.
The story of Simonides is told in Cicero, the great orator of ancient Rome.
Once, he was invited to a banquet.'There were two men waiting for him outside,' Mr Simmonds told the court.
As soon as he walked out the door, the house collapsed, and no one was spared.
People were crushed to death by heavy objects, and the bodies were untidy and unrecognizable.
The only survivor, Simonides, was able to claim the dead by memorizing the names of people who would be in various locations.
He used the location method.
Location method
The act is combined with the memory of the location or seat.
That is to take a number of positions in the field, can be a dining table, chairs, columns, etc., and put them ahead of memory down. Then the things you want to remember in the brain image and associated with the location.
There is a nail method, said here refers to the nail coat nails, it is the position of the deformation method.
The memory is assigned to a row of nails on the wall one by one to remember what they want.
Because it has continuity, so this method is more suitable for the memory of the product catalog and other things strong coherence.
Homophonic memory method
As the name suggests, it is the coincidence of homonym remember something.
Like ... ：

Similarly, remember the physical current intensity formula I=Q/t, can be referred to as:” Cupid".
And this principle is similar to the singing method.
You want to remember the content into a song, you can also apply the simple melody of brainwashing, repeated singing, keep you remember.
The side effect is likely to be the original lyrics forgotten.
In addition to explaining the principles and ideas, in the last chapter of "common sense of memory", Takashi kakiaki listed 22 questions related to memory and answered them one by one from a scientific point of view.
For example, he believes that associative memory and rote memorization have advantages, in the memory of different things should take a different approach.
He also dismisses the notion that memory is an acquired exercise, arguing that finding a suitable method of memory is the kingly way.
Persimmon Takashi believes that the standard is suitable for the use of this method, whether feel happy, whether feeling reluctant, can feel relaxed.
I hope this "memory of common sense" Persimmon takisuke can help you break the shackles of Remember Things, find a suitable method, and persevere with it.
