Sharpen your own memory
迅速提高記憶力
Location is key
位置是關鍵
Quite a common experience is for context to mess with memory in quite a severe way. For instance, you're in the kitchen, and you think "I must get my raincoat from the bedroom" and you head upstairs. Once there, you can't remember what you came for. You return downstairs, and immediately remember. You head upstairs, and again can't remember what you were looking for. I'm a memory champion, and I've been known to do three loops of such nonsense. The trick is to imagine what you're looking for in the location you're headed to. That way the new context will contain the memory of what you were looking for.
在某種情景下記憶力嚴重混亂是一個非常普遍的體驗。比如,你在廚房,想著“我要到臥室里拿雨衣”,然后你上了樓。可以一到那兒,你就記不起來你為什么上來了。你轉頭下了樓梯,突然之間你又記起來了。你又上樓,接著你又記不起來你到底要找什么了。雖然我是個記憶冠軍,我也曾體驗過這種白癡似的三次循環。辦法就是你得想象你到你要去的那個位置到底找什么。如此一來,新的情景中就會包含你在尋找何物的記憶。
