Study finds reading information aloud to yourself improves memory
Study Title | This time it’s personal: the memory benefit of hearing oneself
The study by researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada found that speaking text aloud helps to get words into long-term memory.
Practical Implications
For
one thing, perhaps students studying for exams could try reading their lessons
out loud so as to help them remember. What's more, researchers are reminded of
how the elderly are advised to do puzzles to strengthen their memories, also
suggesting that action and activity can enhance
memory.
The
results of the study add to the growing list of activities people can do to
enhance or even strengthen memory. Some other activities that are said to
enhance memory include drinking
alcohol after
studying and even eating chocolate, which can evidently improve cognitive performance, enhance working memory, and improve
visual processing.
The
study is published in the journal Memory.
