Memory - thin matter, do not feel it, do not understand. But without her there is no full life. About our memory tells us the head of the Department of Rehabilitation. N.AND.Burdenko Ramne, Krotov's doctor about.BUT.

We talk with the head of the laboratory of problems of aimed recovery of memory of the Rehabilitation Department. N.AND.Burdenko Ramna O. BUT. Mobra.
Memory characteristic
It is known that people differ in growth. With this observation, we face daily, and everyone can relatively precisely to themselves, High he, middle growth, below average and t.D. As a state of memory, the differences between people are several times more considerable than. However, the comparison here makes it difficult not only to the fact that the growth is visible immediately, and the memory still need to somehow appreciate, measure.
The difficulty is that if human growth can be characterized by one value (one digit), then it is impossible to make it. Our memory is made up of various subsystems, different characteristics, and each of the memory parameters has a different brain organization (provided by the work of various brain departments).
Even in a healthy person, some brain departments can be functionally more perfect than others. These individual peculiarities of the brain of a given person, when it comes to memory, is brighter than all in spontaneously emerging memorization strategies. For example, one person to remember the page of the text must be sure to read it, and when recalling it will be referred to from the auditorium, to another - hear its expressive reading, t.To. The auditory image is well held in mind, the third is to speak out loud, to activate the speechless images, the fourth - to build a logical content scheme and T.D.
If you explore the memory of these people, then in the tests for visual memory, the best indicators will be at one, and the other - another. But there is still a mass of parameters characterizing our memory, and not allowing it to give it an estimate in the form of one value. Rather, it will be some individual «Memory profile» with peaks for some characteristics and recession for other.
Fighting for our memory
How can you overcome memory violations, and what role does memory profile play here?
Medicinal correction of memory disorders. The doctor discharges the medicine on the basis of the identified memory defect, the reasons for the brain activity. But with the same reason, for example, memory disorders as a result of the cranial injury, the memory profile may be different, depending on the affected parts of the brain.
Restorative training. Memory Profile Displays the ratio of saved and disturbed memory links. Special Memory Training Exercises allow you to strengthen its capabilities and partially rebuild memorization based on the most saved mechanisms.
Formation of the skill of efficient business entries. There is an erroneous opinion that, recording anything, we train your memory less, and therefore weakening it. In fact, properly leading business entries organize and systematize our memory, make it possible to remove the tension from the possibility of missing something important out of sight, exempt the epistemic function for creative processing of information and rapid decisions.
However, the skill competently does not mean at all means that a person can competently and truly effectively lead his business entries, sometimes the help of a psychologist is required. Especially important is such assistance with weakened memory. In these cases, a neuropsychologist, relying on memory profile, works with a patient new receptions for it compensating entries.
How to help yourself
Sit in the evening for a writing desk. Close your eyes, relax and try to remember what you did this morning. Well, if you succeed, how to scroll through the movie before your eyes: clearly imagine all situations, «see» clothes communicated with you people, «hear» The intonation of their voice, feel that if you wish, you can remember any details of those subjects that you have visited in your hands, any details of the events developed in the morning.
But, most likely, your memories will not be so distinct, and in memory will be able to resurrect only the most common memories, rather, logically dragged knowledge that this or that event happened this morning, full of it «View» By memory, as if it were a video, it would not happen.
Nevertheless, spend a certain time to remember today's events as much as possible. Try to cause all the sensations that accompany your life this morning - visual, auditory, taste, olfactory, tactile, engine, - as well as your emotional experiences in relation to certain events.
How to keep a memory diary
After that, take a notebook or notebook. Write on it «Diary of member». Open the first page, write today and current time (for example, 20.10.2001; nineteen.fifteen). Write down the events that you managed to restore in memory. If you can write an approximate time when they occurred.
Do not record events about which you just know that they necessarily take place in the morning («got up, washed, breakfast and t.D.»). Here you did not remember anything, they simply recorded what was usually. However, if there was some unusual food for breakfast, and you remembered it, or an important conversation occurred, which was also able to restore in memory, or you watched TV and remembered some kind of transmission fragment, - write it in the memory diary. Making morning events, go to day and evening.
Memory diary can be detailed, and maybe brief, schematic. Choose any entries convenient for you. If something important happens, you will definitely want to remember, do not wait for the evening - immediately write down the necessary information. On separate page of the diary or right in the current text in the fields, write down your plans, intentions, instructions, both the next day and long-term.
Take the last page to record those things or money that you lean someone, or lent you. When returning a debt, cross the corresponding entry. Mark on the last page do immediately, not laying on the evening.
Why do we need a memory diary
First, this is an exercise, memory training. When you sit at the table and try to restore the events of the past day in memory, you train the process of extracting information from memory, spontaneously generate the most successful strategies.
Secondly, the records in the diary will help the doctor to determine what is happening with your memory. They specify the difficulties with which
Thirdly, while memory is not yet amenable to management, the diary is a reference material that allows for at least partially avoiding the troubles related to the inability to recall important information.
Fourth, on the basis of the diary, we gradually go to a new form of business entries. Skill briefly and quickly formulate thought in writing does not occur by itself.
It is necessary to record not only something important what happens to you during the day, but also any distinct memory that originated when you did the exercise. For example: «Clearly remembered the content of the next series about Stirlitz, which watched last night before bedtime». Records in the memory diary may differ from each other, both by the degree of detail and style. The main thing is that you start. I wish you success!
