Lungchin : Asem Hoina Thei Phabep (Memory : Some Ways To Improve)

“The advantage of bad memory is that one enjoys several times, the same good things for the first time.”
                                                                                                         ~  Friedrich Nietzche

       Aphat dung jui, amun le amuol dung juiya ingaichat thil/thu le la (information) geldohthei/nungkouthei napa hi memory (lungchin) tin akihei [1]. Lungchin (memory) hi thupi (subject) lentah ahin hijongle lut thuh louvin simlai chapang ho manchah thei kham bou sei ute. Ihet lou vang uva lekhasim hon isim jing lai uva khonung themvet (examination) teng geldoh bailam nading ijat ham khat jong inabol jiu ahitai. Lungchin (memory) chung changa jilthuhna neimi (academic/scholar) jong kahipoi. Civil Services Examination kakigot lai a chu Psychology hi ka subject (optional) khat anahi e. Hitia kana sim jing lai chun simmun ho chu hetna pha tampi chule eima mimal chung tah a manchah (apply) thei atam dan kana mudoh e. Eima le eima chungthu kikisim tobang jong ahe. Hiche ho lah a chun ‘Lungchin (Memory)’ le ‘Jilna/Hetna (Learning)’ thu umho chu sim thanop um kanasai. Sim’a hetna phachuom le thanop (interesting) kasah ho phabep ka tahlang (share) nome.

Elaborate Rehearsal/Processing :

Thil khat (na thilsim) chingsot inge hesot inge itile hiche information chu long term memory a hetlut angaije. Hiche long term memory a koilutna dinga chu athu (information) chu phatea gel masat ngai ahi. Athu chu igel phat le achung chang thudoh (question) bol angai in, akoudoh (meaning) ipi ham geltoh angai in chule amasa a nathil hetsa hotoh akimatna (relationship) jong vetkah angaije. Hiche hi ‘elaboration or deep processing’ tin jong akihei. Thuh tah a thilkhat melchih sotna dinga pan kila (process kibol) tina ahi. Hitia hi ibol teng, ithil sim (information) chu ana umsa hetna (knowledge) toh hung kigom tantin, khonung ingai chat phat le geldoh/nungkou bailam ding ahi. [2]

Careful Attention :

Ichin nom thil khat (information) chu limgeh cha (consciously) ivet loule long term memory a sol lut hah lheh ding ahi. Lekha sot tah tah sima asimsa ching thei lou hethei lou kiti hi athilsim chunga limgeh cha avetlou jeh (lack of conscious attention) himai thei ahi. Hijeh a hi lolhinna neihon ‘pung ijat lekha nasim chu athupi beh pon, apung sunga ijat nasim doh em tichu athupi joi’ tia aseilo jiu ahi. Hijeh a chu ilekhasim ihetsot nom le isim petna lunglut tah a vet (attention) peh angaije. Mihem lunglutna (attention) peh thei sung hi asot jou jipon amavang ikiham bol jepma attention pehna dinga pan ilah le khonunga tha le phat tampi hung ol (save) ding ahi. Eiho hetbai pen dinga chu lekha sim phat le ‘concentration’ nei apoimo lheh e tina ahi.

Minimize Interference :

Thil hai bailam napen chu ithilsim ho ahung kipel to sao sao khu ahi. Ipi dinga kipel to sao sao ham itile athu akibah thim jeh ahi nome. Subject/Topic akibang heo hou ihin simkhom phat le khat le khat kipel to (interfere) jia kichen tah a kigeldoh thei jilou ahitai. Chejeh a hi hetna neihon subject/topic kibang behseh hohi khatvei sima simkhom adeisah louvu ahi. Tekahna a, poetry/poem khat isim chai le khat kisim pai hen lang hiti chun poetry/poem 10 (som) tobang khatvei touvin kisim chaile ingah got lang le achang cheh a kicheh tah a geldoh hahsa maithei ahitai. Amavang ni ham thum ham hoita in kisim henlang chejou le Biology ham khat gah kisim leh ingah got lang le poetry/poem 2/3 chu kichen tah a kihe nalai ding ahi. Hijeh a chu ithilsim/lekhasim subject or topic jong suhtoh (arrange) jep ngai in akiseiye.

Distributed/Spaced Learning :

Exam kona simding atam jeh a khatvei sima abona sim chai ding tihi simlai tampin ahabol khat ahi. Ahivanga hitobanga lekhasim dan hi memory store bolna dinga vang hahsa tah khat ahikitne. Ajeh chu khat vei hutna hetding thil (information) khujat pi chu het lutding kigo nah nah ahi. Hitia lekha kisim hi lungchin (memory) dinga vang phalou tah ahi. Hiche sanga lekhasim hi akikah hal’a (several sessions) chomkhat jou le break (kichol phat) ilah ji ji le hi thilpha ahije. Hita chu lekha isimle ithil sim ho sot pi pi akiching den’e tin hetna neihon akhuol doh uve. Hichun akomu chu ahile lekha hi exam kon seh seh a kino tah a simlou ding tina ahi (no cramming of information). Seingai louva akomu be chu ahile simlai khatnin lekha hi nom tah a kino lou hel’a asimjing ding (consistency) tina ahi. Khutile phat jong neng jel’a aneiding asimho jong ahetsot ding ahijenge.

Visual Imagery and other Mnemonics :

“Lim khat hi thucheng sangkhat kisei toh akibange’ tin ana kiseiji e. Chedung jui chun ithil sim ho chu ilungmitna lim (images) toh ikaimat (associate) theile geldoh/nungkou abaijepme akitin ahi. Hetbai lama chu, ithil sim khat chu ilungmitna image khat toh visualize/picturize bol ding tina ahi. Vetsahnan, gam le go kiemdan (deforestation) thu isim phat le ilungmitna mol/lhang thing le go chai vevu toh gah kikai mat tale, akisim ho chu amelchih baijin ching jong akiching sotne, tia kisei ahi. Abanle, key-word method kiti khat jong aum kitnin.Tekahnan, Spanish paova Vatot khu ‘Pato’ akitin, English a akilopi pen chu ‘Pot’ ahi. ‘Pot’ chu keyword ahitan ‘Vatot/Duck’ toh ilungmitna imeh beh jing le, Spanish paova Vatot min chu iseinom phat le hahsalou hela ‘Pot’ chu vetbeh a ‘Pato’ tijeng thei ahi.[3] Simlai khatnin lekhasim phat le page ijat ham khat asim sunga chu ‘main points/key words’ amelchih le adang tampi jong chu nungkou/geldoh abai jepme tihi japin apomkhat chu ahi.

Retrieval Cues :

Test/Exam khat dinga lekha isim le isimlai/isimpet a tahsa dinmun (physical state) tobanga chu imanchah nom phat (exam/test hall) a jong physical state kibahsah angaije tin akiseiye. Hiche hi state-dependent memory tin akihei. Ilungel noplai tah a lekha kisim khu igeldoh/inungkou nom phat le ilungel jong chu ana nop le geldoh abailame akiti kitne. Hitobang thil umdan chu mood-dependent memory tin akihe kitne. Ingaito le ahah toh vanga khuti hah behseh jong ahidehpoi. Ilunggel dinmun chu kipana thei/lhasetna thei gela khelmo ahipoi tin hiche state-dependent memory le mood-dependent memory a tahsanna neihon asei uve. Chuteng jongle ilekhasim petna retrieval cues (vetbeh pi/mehbehpi khat) ipehle/ikisiemle, nungkou (retrieval) langa apanpi e tin akiseiye.[4]

Shorthand Codes :

Planet 9 ho melchihna dinga technique jat chuom chuom akimang ji e. Cheho lah a akiha man pen loi chu first-letter-technique ahi. Hiche techinique a hi thuguol (phrase/sentence) khat kisema thucheng (word) jouse a letter (alphabet) masa pen pen chu ithil chin ding ho koudoh a kipan sah ahi. Hitobanga chu, “Mary’s Violet Eyes Makes John Stay Up Nights Pondering” kiti hin planet melchih ding ho (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) kitup tah a eisei lhah sah thei ahi. Thil items tamtah melchih ding mun ho a hiche technique hi manchah phatah ahi.

Become Interested In What You Are Learning :

Ithil sim khatna chu lunglutna (interest) inei le akiching sotne ti jong hi alhangpia kipom khat chu ahi. [5] Chuto lhona, hoi isah thil khat chu amin jong kihai beh beh ngailou ahi. Ilekhasim subject/topic a jong chu lunglutna inei le asim jong itha noma hejong kihe thei chin jong kiching sot ahi. Civil Services Exam a kiguong nom simlai ijat hamin eina ha doh pen khat chu ‘Optional a ipi hoipen ham/Hoi Optional khu scoring pen ham” tihi ahi. ‘Ahoichu ahoi jo a scoring jo umdeh hih inte. Na lunglut na pen pen natha nopna pen pen chu optional in kilah le chun phanan te’ tin kana donbut ji e. Ilunglutna khat chu akithemin akihe theiye tichu seilouva mijouse hetkhat ahi.

 

Achunga kipe hohi achamkim le alhingset ahipoi. Seilou le sutlou atamjo nalai ahi. Ipi hile, lungchin (memory) hoina dinga hi themkhat kiha boljep jong ngai ding dan ahi. ‘No Pain No Gain’ kiti chu lheh theilou pai thei lou thudih ahijing nalaiye.
