Is your child unable to memorise his or her lessons in school? Ask them to read it out loud. According to a study, speaking text aloud helps to get words into long-term memory.<\/p>\n
The findings showed that the dual action of speaking and hearing oneself, dubbed as the \u201cproduction effect\u201d, has the most beneficial impact on memory.<\/p>\n
It is because both speaking and hearing words make the words more personal and thus increases their chance of getting retained the mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe study confirms that learning and memory benefit from active involvement,\u201d said Colin M. MacLeod, professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we add an active measure or a production element to a word, that word becomes more distinct in long-term memory, and hence more memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the study, published in the journal Memory, the team tested four methods for learning written information, including reading silently, hearing someone else read, listening to a recording of oneself reading, and reading aloud in real time.<\/p>\n
The results showed that the production effect of reading information aloud to yourself resulted in the best remembering.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis study suggests that the idea of action or activity also improves memory,\u201d MacLeod added.<\/p>\n
The research was based on the previous studies showed that production effect of activities, such as writing and typing words, help boost overall memory retention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
