Wh wuld win in a cmpetitin t memrize numbers, a chimp (黑猩猩) r a teenager? The teenager? Think again. Scientists have prved that chimps perfrm better than human beings when it cmes t this kind f prblem. We may have t rethink what we believe abut human memry.


Memry is ur ability t learn smething, save it and recall it when needed. Our memries are imprtant t ur sense f self, ur persnalities, and ur ability t understand the wrld.


Scientists say that there are different types f memry. There is shrt-term memry and lng-term memry. Yur shrt-term memry saves infrmatin fr a few secnds r a few minutes. Fr example, the time it takes t cmpare the prices f a few items in a stre. Lng-term memry invlves the infrmatin yu try hard t keep, because it’s meaningful t yu (an example is data 数据 abut family and friends. ) And then there is visual memry and sund memry. But these are nt hard and fast: scientists argue a lt abut the nature f memry.


Scientists have als fund that peple memrize things in different ways. Sme memrize better with the help f pictures. Others are helped mre by sunds. One thing’s fr sure. If yu can cmbine different kinds f memry tgether, yu will remember a lt! S why nt try pictures with English wrds? At the same time listen t recrdings f the same grup f wrds. It may help when it cmes t memrizing it.


Imaginatin and assciatin can be useful t. By imaginatin scientists mean picturing a wrd in yur mind. Assciatin means relating the wrd t smething yu already knw.
