How to scientifically improve your baby's memory

To improve your baby's memory scientifically, it is necessary for parents to understand their baby's memory characteristics and to help their baby improve his memory in a targeted way.

Baby's memory characteristics.

1. mainly unconscious memory

Most of the memories of babies belong to unconscious memory, and at this time their unconscious memory is dominant and their intentional memory is not yet mature. Their knowledge of things is often unintentional, and they even remember what you tell them to remember, without any active purpose of their own, and without really accepting the task of remembering, and their memories are preserved by their unconscious.

2. Mechanical memory is the main focus

Young children have poor comprehension of things, and when they do not understand what they memorize, they only memorize by rote and engage in mechanical memory. This is why young children sing numbers earlier than they ability to count, and they can know many songs and children's songs, but they do not understand the meaning of the lyrics and children's songs.

3. Preference for visual memory

Before language occurs in children, the only thing they remember is images of things, i.e., only image memory. Anything intuitive, visual, interesting, and can cause a strong emotional experience for the baby can make the baby remember naturally, so it is necessary to provide the baby with some colorful and concrete materials, the best materials can attract the baby's interest and attention, then it can promote the baby to remember.

4. Remember quickly, forget quickly

It is because babies use mechanical memory to remember, not based on understanding, but according to the characteristics of things to remember, so they remember quickly and forget quickly.

1. Provide concrete memory objects

Make full use of vivid and concrete images to attract your baby's attention, so that his unintentional memory can play a role, and in daily life, give your baby clear memory requirements, so that your baby can transition from unintentional memory to intentional memory.

2. Help your baby understand

Before the age of 3, the baby's memory is mainly mechanical because his comprehension ability is not enough. When telling the baby stories or learning children's songs, the mother should explain more details to the baby to help the baby understand the meaning and remember based on understanding.

3. Recall more with your baby

Maybe the baby does not remember what happened before, but if parents talk more with the baby about what happened before, and read the children's songs they learned together, it can help the baby to recall and consolidate his memory. Moreover, talking with your baby about the past and sharing his life with him can help him understand himself more deeply.

4. Step by step
