Boosting your memory
By alumnus and media veteran Li Chan-wing

You can learn to memorise better through sight, sound or touch, depending on which of these three senses you find most effective. The first involves visualisation, which means turning what you want to remember into pictures or visuals. Taking photographs, for example, can remind you of where you have been on your last trip. The second revolves around listening. You might record your examination notes in the morning, then play them again in the evening. With touch, it could be tapping in your company’s door code, e.g 2580, and remembering that the numbers are aligned under each other on the keypad.

The “secret code” technique is another good way of enhancing your memory. This method uses the numbers one to nine to help you recall nine different items. For example, “one” might refer to “one country”, “two” could refer to “two systems”, and so forth. Before you do a presentation or introduce your company’s products, you could memorise nine significant points using this technique.

Sometimes you might have difficulty recognising an acquaintance you haven’t seen for a while. To avoid this happening, mentally divide the person’s face into nine segments. If he or she has small ears, remember “two” and “four” (in Cantonese), as two sounds like “ear” and four like “small”.

李燦榮:如何過目不忘

有三種方法可以幫助記憶,視乎你對哪種觀感最敏感。這三種方法是透過視覺、聽覺和觸覺獲取。視覺方面,你可以把你想記住的東西用圖畫或視像幫助記憶;例如你在旅行的時候拍照,照片就可幫助你回憶當時情景。聽覺方面,例如你可以在考試前一天的早上,把應試的內容錄音,晚上再聽錄音一遍,那就可以在睡覺時透過潛意識將之記憶。至於觸覺方面,例如公司的密碼是2580,而在密碼盤上,2580都排在中間位置上,你可以用手指接觸密碼盤來記住這四個數字的位置。

接著談談密碼法,假若我們設定密碼是一至九的數字,就可以把它們加入創意聯想:例如考試有關香港的評論,一就是一國,二就是兩制,三就是三權分立,四就是香港的四大經濟支柱,五就是五十年不變,六就是六七年暴動,七就是7.8聯繫匯率,八就是八萬五房屋政策,九就是九七回歸。每次你做報告,或要介紹你機構服務或產品的時候,心中有這九句你就有底而不怕了。

當重溫歷史上的中西交通時,很多人都認為漢唐西域通道上有不少國家的名字非常不易記。我靈機一觸,就幫它們改了個名,叫「居然烏龜搵梳」,那就很容易記了。居是居(車)師,然是焉耆,烏是烏孫,龜是龜茲,搵是溫宿,梳是疏勒。另外一個例子就是有名的三十六計,我就用「金玉刀以擒賊」來幫助記憶「金蟬脫殼」、「欲擒先眾」、「借刀殺人」、「以逸待勞」和「擒賊先擒王」這五計。

我們往往會在第二次見新朋友的時候,忘記曾見過對方。我認人的方法,是先把臉部劃分為九格,按格中的臉相特徵加強印象。如果對方額頭左上方有一粒痣,我就記住他是91;如果對方耳朵很小,我就記住他是24(跟「耳細」的音接近)。
