Where to turn if words often fly out of your head and can not remember

Do you know the feeling when a word turns on its tongue? During the conversation, you can’t remember what that “stuff” or a certain term is called. Don’t worry too much about it, it happens to everyone. Scientists call this phenomenon preskevyu. How to remember a wordWhen I think I almost caught him in my mind. In this article, we will try to understand this interesting phenomenon. Let’s talk about how to train your memory.



In addition to preskevyu, there is also such a term as deja vu. These two concepts are similar because they both describe what happens to our memory. Moreover, these phenomena are still poorly understood, but what we do know is that our brains are involved.



By the way, young women often go to the doctor with complaints of poor memory. They worry that if they can’t remember something, their memory has deteriorated. There is nothing terrible in preskevy - it is a slight failure of cognitive functions. Does it still sound scary? Let’s try to explain this topic more deeply.



Our memory is very complex. First we perceive information, then we analyze it. The brain then decides where to send the data: to temporary memory or to a deep “storage” of information. In order to remember something important, we need to dig deeper into the deep memory and recreate it. It is with the reproduction of something that mistakes happen.



What's this about? Most likely, the brain is overloaded with different processes. All this is somewhat like a computer, which immediately opens many different programs. As a result, the system slows down, and something begins to “hang”. This happens to people when they are tired, distracted, or overwhelmed with emotions, new information.

In preskevu moments, the best way to remember a word is to work with associations. Music associated with this period of memory can be included. Anything -- smells, tastes, emotions -- they activate the right neural connections. For example, to remember the name of a cafe in Paris, try to brew yourself a similar coffee as brewed there. That should help.



Meditation also helps. It eliminates the endless stream of thoughts, shuts down the internal dialogue. Subsequently, it is possible to dwell on the most important. In this case, it can help to remember the right word, which turns on the tongue. In other words, you just need to calm down and not try to remember anything with all your might. Calmness and silence in your thoughts will do everything necessary.

In any case, exercises for memory development are very useful. One exercise takes only 10-15 minutes of free time.

1. As a warm-up try to count in reverse order from 300 to zero. For greater efficiency, you can count by subtracting 3 from each number: 300, 297, 294, 291, and so on.
2. Various small items will be useful: hairpins, eraser, batteries, jumpers. Then you put them in front of you, watch them for a few seconds and remember them. Then close your eyes and list everything you remember out loud.
3. You can also try to draw the routes you drove or walked today or yesterday. They can be both familiar and new. Try to specify the names of streets, institutions, stations - this life hack perfectly develops memory.
4. Look at the drawing for a minute. It should not be too complicated composition. After a while, try to reproduce the image on paper as accurately as possible.
5. I also recommend reading more. Reading not only helps to remember new information, but also actively develops memory.

Now you'll know that when someone can't remember something, it's called a presque vu. However, it would be nice to remember the word itself, so that it does not turn on the tongue. In any case, do not overload your brain. It is better to rest more, and in your free time to train your memory with various exercises.
