Learning: Memory: Boost: Method: Which cognitive methods to use to 
possibly boost your memory?
===
 1. -Use all types of memory
     There exist 3 types of memory
      1. -Short-term memory
          1. -Organize your information in chunks
              1. -Concatenate information
          2. -Other
      2. -Long-term memory
          1. -Memorize methods
              1. -Use word linking, using absurd examples
              2. -Use the loci method
              3. -Other
          2. -Repeat the information
              1. -Repetition moves information from short memory
                  locations (e.g. the hippocampus) to long term memory
                  locations (e.g. the cortex)
          3. -Use other means to support your memory
              1. -Write things as much down
                  1. -On paper (paper can be seen as a long term
                      memory).
                  2. -On your computer (your file can also be seen as
                      long term memory)
          4. -Other
      3. -Sensory memory
          1. -Use all your senses
              1. -Memorize using colours
              2. -Memorize using your haptic (feel) system
              3. -Memorize using your audio (hearing) system
              3. -Memorize using your smell (olfactory) system
              4. -Other
 3. -Use strategy
     1. -To solve problems work with a rigid solution path structure,
         which is easy to remember (e.g. using the George Polya method)
         1. -Ask yourself always questions when you have to solve
         problems:
             1. -What is given? (what is the question, what are the
                 known data, ...)
             2. -What are the methods to use?
             3. -How will I solve it?
             4. -Other
         2. -Always try to work systematically, with fixed structures,
             so reducing the amount of structures you have to work with
             1. -Classify your information
                 1. -Hierarchical
                 2. -Other
             2. -Fix the location of your information
             3. -Other
     2. -Use the Internet as your always there guide, if memory has to
         be boosted (e.g. you remember only one URL, say
          http://www.google.com,
         or
          http://www.dogpile.com
         where you almost always can find the answer to most
         questions).
