P. Devipriya lists 10 strategies to improve memory at his blog site. I thought 2 of them were particularly useful yet unusual.
Tops among the list, in my humble opinion, is Believe in Yourself by ignoring negative perspectives about aging and memory. He mentions a study that found that middle-age and older learners performed better when exposed to positive rather than negative stereotypes. In other words, you are what you think!
The second valuable tip is to Space It Out - repeat your memorization of something you have to learn, spacing out the repetitions in increasing interval of minutes, hours and days until you've mastered the material. Recalling the information should be easier as your brain becomes more comfortable at retrieving the information.
