阅读快车系列答案Remembering things, like names, dates, and other fine details is a skill—one that you can develop. Here are four memory improving skills everyone can learn.
1. Play video Games
Believe it or not, Playing video games helps to form better memory as you age. 3D video games seem to work better than 2D ones. Playing games like Super Mario 64 for 30 minutes a day has been found to increase the brains gray matter (脑灰质). So you’ll have fun while building a bigger brain.
2. Strengthen the Power of Music

3. Remember People’s Names by Forcing Yourself to Interact with Them Differently
For us, forgetting someone’s name might be the worst. It’s just that our basic working memory isn’t that great. However, if we try to make connections between the strange name and the person, we’ll be more likely to remember the name. It takes a little work: Try asking a person you just met a question to give you time to repeat his or her name in your head, introduce the person to someone else, which means to force you to repeat his name, repeat the person’s name at the end of the conversation.
4. Take Care of Your Health and Learn New skills
Unluckily, our memory gets worse as we get older. Taking care of our basic health, though, can go a long way towards improving our health that means it will reduce the stress in your life if you train and exercise your brain by learning new skills.
