How To Remember Things Better � The Fun Way
Have you ever noticed the mind-boggling difference between learning from a fun teacher and a boring one? Not only is learning from a fun teach a zillion (yes, a zillion) times more enjoyable, but we actually retain much more of the information taught. Why is this? Dopamine. When it comes to learning how to remember things, don�t forget to add the magic ingredient: dopamine. This neurochemical helps control the brain�s reward and pleasure centers and works as a mental �save button;� when it is present during an experience, we remember it. Dopamine tells our brain that this is something worth holding onto � it gives our brain permission to store it. Now, aside from reading our lecture notes to ourselves in funny accents, how can we make remembering things fun? By turning it into a game. The competition, reward, and overall fun of games will generally make your brain produce a ton of dopamine.
