Chapter 23: The Principle of Memory
"If you want to have a memorable memory, you first have to understand how memory works." Mo Xiaotian said.
(The following is the time of the author's water word count)
"First of all, so far, human research on memory has found that there are three different types of memory:
Genetic memory, the first kind of memory of a person is genetic memory.
This is written in the DNA, the original memory that has been screened and preserved by nature, and it will record all the information you are made of, such as people have limbs, five senses, and the brain is larger than other creatures, etc.
Sometimes, people will dream about something very magical, such as the battlefield in ancient times, they used to be an official, or they were lovers a long time ago. ”
Mo Xiaotian sighed, "In fact, these romantic things may come from the genetic memory of the ancestors. ”
Uh-huh.
But my dreams are different from yours, and that's what the system has opened for me.
Yi Cheng said silently in his heart.
"Then, for example, if we are afraid of snakes, we are afraid of heights, we are afraid of violence and yearn for violence, these may also be genetic memories."
Mo Xiaotian smiled slightly, "But many times we will use a more understandable word to explain it, we call this stubborn genetic memory-
Instinct.
And instincts are hard to change unless you can change your genes. ”
Yi Cheng glanced at her, this kind of useless thing, saying it is equivalent to not saying it.
Mom, passers-by who silently eavesdropped on the conversation between the two thought that this was the first time I had seen someone fall in love and talk about these things.
"The second type is cellular memory, or immune memory." Mo Xiaotian continued, "For example, the white blood cells in the body, which can distinguish between its own cells and foreign bodies, and ensure the safety of life by devouring those invading viruses that are harmful to the body. This shows that it has a certain memory function. ”
Mo Xiaotian put two index fingers under his eyes, oh no, put them under the lying silkworm, and made a crying shape.
"Immune cells are good fighters, they are very sacrificial, they will die after they destroy the virus, let's mourn for them for three minutes."
"Condolences to your sister." Yi Cheng couldn't help but complain about her.
"Hehe," Mo Xiaotian retracted his face, "and then what we say most often, and the only thing that can be improved through training, is neural memory, that is, brain memory." ”
Mo Xiaotian stretched out his hand, ready to touch Yi Cheng's head, but was slapped away by the other party.
"But the brain is a very complex thing, and humans haven't fully understood how it works. But in general, it is generally accepted that human memory is made by the cooperation of the left and right brains, and that the hippocampus is the main mediator. ”
Also intermediary.
Why don't you go and sell the house?
"The hippocampus is an important organ in the human brain, and the reason why it is thought to be related to memory is that in many surgical cases, it is found that after the human hippocampus is damaged, it is unable to form long-term memory, and if the hippocampus is completely removed, the person will become a person with only short-term memory.
Of course, there are also people who do not have short-term memories, but only have long-term memories, such as the very famous American movies "Memory Fragments", "The 50th First Love", ......"
Memory fragment Yi Cheng is a little impressed, but fifty first loves...... What a waste of time.
"This is the first training method I want to teach you, also known as the hippocampus training method." Mo Xiaotian said with a smile, "This is the memory training method of Japan's Yoneyama Gongming, and its main principle is to wake up the seahorse through stimulation. ”
"How exciting?"
"That's it," Mo Xiaotian took out a one-dollar coin from his school uniform and handed it to him.
This is a very ordinary coin, even the production year is an ordinary 11 years.
With a man's virtue, the front is a 1, and the back is a chrysanthemum.
"This is my lucky coin, and now I'll be handed over to you."
"Carrying this will improve your memory? I don't believe it. ”
"You can't just take it, you have to touch it, feel the lines on it, judge its shape and the patterns on it with your fingers, not by your eyes."
"Oh."
"The advantage of this is that it stimulates the hippocampus.
The core idea of Kokai Yoneyama is to use sensory stimulation as much as possible to allow the hippocampus to grow. For example, drinking coffee with your eyes closed, often going to places you have never been to, remembering strangers on the road......"
Oh, I see.
"It's an exercise that can be done anytime, anywhere, and it's easy."
Mo Xiaotian continued, "Then I'm going to tell you about people's memory sensitivity. ”
"Sensitivity?"
"Yes, repeating my words like you, with questions and reflections, is also a way to help with memory."
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
"The human brain is very impressed by things that trigger mood swings, such as death, such as love.
Then, if you classify things, the sensitivity of people to things in order of high to low is: images, sounds, words, numbers, symbols, ......"
From birth, people are most sensitive to the human face, and then slowly become able to speak, and then grow up to touch words......
This is also the reason why TV movies and comics are more likely to attract people's attention and be more impressive, but they are difficult to remember when reading books, especially meaningless number symbols.
"Huh, isn't it?" Yi Cheng raised his head suspiciously, "Obviously, the number symbol is the highest, and then the image and sound ......"
“……”
Are you still an individual?
Mo Xiaotian has a black line, "Abstract language is the most difficult for human beings to understand and remember...... Hey?! ”
She looked up in surprise, "Wouldn't it?" ”
"What wouldn't?" Yi Cheng asked suspiciously.
The people who watched the scenery around also looked back.
This is the first time they have seen couples fall in love entirely by studying.
Show you.
"Let's play a game." Mo Xiaotian took out his phone.
Isn't it finally about learning?
The surrounding passers-by finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll just type in thirty numbers, and you'll see how much I can memorize in half a minute."
“……”
you, what do you call playing games?
Passers-by looked confused.
Mo Xiaotian casually entered thirty two-digit numbers into his mobile phone, and then showed them in front of Yi Cheng.
"Okay."
Thirty seconds later, she retrieved her phone.
"You report the numbers you remember from front to back."
"Hmm." Yi Cheng nodded and began to count-
“31、43、52……”
Passers-by's faces gradually collapsed.
Several classmates with messy hair involuntarily moved behind Mo Xiaotian.
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on her phone screen.
Then it grew wider.
