A good memory is an important<\/strong> asset in life. Memory is an important cognitive function <\/strong>for human beings. It enables <\/strong>us to retain knowledge, know-how and memories<\/strong>. It can also be used to retrieve information for use with those <\/strong>around us. It plays a vital role in thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the context of vocational <\/strong>training <\/a>or school apprenticeships<\/strong>, the ability to memorize <\/strong>is a major concern for trainers <\/strong>and parents alike. It’s a kind of library <\/strong>in your head, where you can consult <\/strong>books or improve certain content<\/strong>. There are 3 types of memory: auditory<\/strong>, visual and kinaesthetic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s take a look at the latter <\/strong>and how to learn when you have a kinaesthetic <\/strong>memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All human memory <\/strong>functions within the brain. The hippocampus <\/strong>is home to working or short-term <\/strong>memory. It is in this area that the early signs <\/a>of Alzheimer’s <\/strong>disease occur, leading <\/strong>to memory impairment. This structure <\/strong>is involved in two types of memory<\/strong>, episodic and spatial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Episodic memory functions <\/strong>in three important <\/strong>stages, such as the encoding <\/strong>or input of information <\/strong>via sensory organs. This information <\/strong>is then stored and retrieved<\/strong>. The second is based <\/strong>on the presence of a mental map, which acts as an itinerary <\/strong>in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Memories <\/strong>are a vital tool that determine <\/strong>our success and our existence. It is one of the main <\/strong>pillars of intellectual training <\/a>and development<\/strong>. It is therefore essential to adopt effective memorization <\/strong>strategies to help us organize <\/strong>information and stimulate <\/strong>our desire to learn new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For better memorization<\/strong>, each person has their own learning <\/a>profile based on their memory <\/strong>type. It’s a real teaching <\/a>aid in the field of professional <\/strong>training<\/a>. That’s why all learners have their own way of revising and learning <\/a><\/strong>more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are three different <\/strong>learning <\/a>profiles that expose the three different <\/strong>types of memory and involve the five senses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visual memory, also known as eidetic memory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To memorize information<\/strong>, visual people rely on their sense of sight. They focus on photos, images or diagrammatic explanations. These individuals are more interested <\/strong>in the visual arts, such as photography<\/strong>, painting, decoration <\/strong>and so on. The memory palace technique is well suited <\/strong>to this profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Auditory memory <\/strong>is one of the so-called perceptive or sensory memories. It’s the ability <\/strong>to retain information more easily with the sounds we hear. When a person <\/strong>is sensitive to sounds, prefers to repeat information <\/strong>aloud or while listening <\/strong>to music, they are probably an auditory <\/strong>person. This profile favors the sense of hearing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kinesthetic <\/strong>people need to move, manipulate, experiment<\/strong>, touch and feel objects in order to retain<\/strong> them and learn well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No one is entirely <\/strong>visual, auditory or kinesthetic<\/strong>. It’s a question of innate preference<\/strong>, enabling learners to work on a mode of communication <\/strong>that best supports their learning<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although children <\/strong>are born using tactile sensations<\/strong>, visual and auditory preferences <\/strong>come more quickly. You only need <\/strong>to observe them to know whether <\/strong>they are visual, auditory or kinaesthetic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Memory plays a vital role in developing <\/strong>our learning <\/a>capacity and personality <\/strong>traits. Kinesthetic memory enables us to memorize <\/strong>information using movements or sensations<\/strong>, whether physical or emotional<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kinesthetic <\/strong>people therefore learn through <\/strong>their bodies. They need to perceive <\/strong>things or living beings to remember <\/strong>them, rather than speaking aloud or viewing images. The memorization <\/strong>process is achieved through touch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, tiny sensory sensors <\/strong>are located on the skin to sense vibrations<\/strong>, textures and temperature <\/strong>within the environment<\/strong>. Kinesthetes <\/strong>like to move all the time. Action helps them to memorize<\/strong>, instead of purely theoretical lessons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visual and auditory memory <\/strong>are the most widely recognized <\/strong>in conventional <\/strong>learning <\/a>methods<\/a>. Obviously<\/strong>, students <\/a>sit on their benches <\/strong>in front of the blackboard, listening <\/strong>to the teacher to study<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kinesthetic memory is sometimes <\/strong>omitted. Despite this, it is just as important <\/strong>as the others. So it’s in your interest to find out your profile<\/strong>, so you can choose the technique <\/strong>best suited to improving <\/strong>your memory. Kinesthetic learners <\/strong>need to work hard to learn in the best possible<\/strong> conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n know the learning <\/a><\/strong>methods <\/a>used to retain knowledge <\/strong>more easily. By identifying <\/strong>how the learner functions, it’s possible to provide <\/strong>him or her with the right techniques for effective <\/strong>memorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A visual learner <\/strong>is one who values what he or she sees: color, images <\/strong>and graphic illustrations. Those <\/strong>who are sensitive to repeated <\/strong>sounds are auditory. Kinesthetes <\/strong>also memorize by rewriting<\/strong>, but also through taste and smell<\/strong>. They are often said to lack concentration<\/strong>, as they are always on the move<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To find out your learning <\/a><\/strong>profile, simply ask a simple question <\/strong>about what the learner <\/strong>thinks if you say “chocolate”, for example<\/strong>. If he imagines the chocolate <\/strong>bar without hesitation<\/strong>, he’s a visual learner. An auditory learner hears the spelling of the word “chocolate” echoing in his head, or the sound of tinfoil being torn. A kinesthetic person thinks about the taste or smell of chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As kinesthetes like to move, they need to make movements <\/strong>to work on their memory, such as walking, reproducing <\/strong>a graph or measuring with body parts. They need to experience <\/strong>what they’ve learned to ensure retention. Practical <\/strong>exercises, or at least simulations, are highly appreciated <\/strong>to optimize memorization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, during vocational training<\/a><\/strong>, the person concerned remains motionless<\/strong>, he or she will retain little and have difficulty memorizing<\/strong>. This being the case, they need a more comfortable <\/strong>and secure place to work. Convenience <\/strong>within the environment <\/strong>is more conducive to memory <\/strong>capacity and effective for revision<\/strong>. Learning <\/a>methods <\/a>that are too theoretical <\/strong>or verbal are not suitable for kinaesthetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the context <\/strong>of vocational or educational <\/strong>training<\/a>, being kinesthetic requires the learner <\/strong>to adopt certain gestures, preferably <\/strong>with repetition, to learn and memorize information<\/strong>. It’s a good idea to write down everything you hear or see, summarize <\/strong>it or note down the essential data. Otherwise, textbooks <\/strong>and Internet sources <\/strong>should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To improve kinaesthetic<\/strong> memory during training<\/a><\/strong>, you can create educational <\/strong>games such as question-and-answer quizzes, or use creativity<\/strong>. The trainer needs to attract attention <\/strong>by using concrete, appropriate examples. Practical exercises <\/strong>with objects to manipulate <\/strong>and memorize are always <\/strong>a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Theory is not enough. Ideally<\/strong>, you should be able to revise your lessons <\/strong>on a wall chart or even on index cards. Kinesthetic <\/strong>learners learn easily by rewriting. Participation <\/strong>and asking lots of questions are strongly <\/strong>recommended to give meaning<\/strong> to learning<\/a>. Mind maps are also preferred <\/strong>for this type of learning <\/a>profile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow memories work in men<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
