Verbal Memory

Verbal memory is a memory that is responsible for a person's ability to remember any textual information. As a rule, remembering simply the text can be quite difficult. Experts advise to cope with these fairly simply: the words to select bright visual, tactile, emotional associations that allow you to memorize absolutely any information much easier.

Verbal and nonverbal memory

All information that comes from outside can be verbal, that is, verbal, and non-verbal, that is, not related to the speech designation (these are persons, routes, music, smells, etc.). Typically, a person has one of these two types of memory developed better than the second.

The left hemisphere of the brain is more capable of memorizing verbal information, and the right one is to handle non-verbal information. This corresponds to a general division of brain functions. In 66% of all left-handed people, the brain works in a similar way, and only 33% of them have changes in the functioning of the cerebral hemispheres.

Development of verbal memory

Verbal memory is responsible, first of all, for the ability to reproduce textual information. Therefore, to develop it, it is necessary to refer specifically to the texts.

For example, at any age, this kind of memory training, such as learning poems , is perfect . You do not have to choose complex works at once, you can choose short and simple texts to begin with, in which there are no complicated or obsolete words and expressions that are not characteristic of the modern language.

After the fact that you have already mastered the learning of poetry, you will notice that it will be easier and easier for you to remember the texts. After that, you can go to the monologues of the characters from the plays or more complex texts. As a result of this work, it will be easier for you to perceive and convey any verbal information.
