Is there any special way to help boost the memory retention capacity of children ?
Dear Prof. Mushtaq Ahamad,
Please is there any special meal you will recommend?
Increasing children's memory can be improved through working memory.
Working memory refers to the manipulation of information that short-term memory stores. (In the past, the term “working memory” was used interchangeably with the term “short-term memory.”) It’s a skill kids use to learn. It’s needed for tasks like following multi-step directions or solving a math problem in your head.
We can help our child improve this executive function by building some working memory boosters into his daily life.
1. Work on visualization skills.
Encourage your child to create a picture in his mind of what he’s just read or heard. For example, if you’ve told him to set the table for five people, ask him to come up with a mental picture of what the table should look like.
2. Have your child teach you.
Being able to explain how to do something involves making sense of information and mentally filing it. If your child is learning a skill, like how to dribble a basketball, ask him to teach it to you.
3. Suggest games that use visual memory.
There are lots of matching games that can help your child work on visual memory.
4. Play cards.
Simple card games like Crazy Eights, Uno, Go Fish and War can improve working memory in two ways.
5. Encourage active reading.
There’s a reason highlighters and sticky notes are so popular! Jotting down notes and underlining or highlighting text can help kids keep the information in mind long enough to answer questions about it.
Dear Prof. Ali Alhayany,
The information you have provided is so useful and rich.
Thank you.
Best regards
Child with the arrival on this earth receive the fruits of previous lives covering Mind , Brain , & divinity within himself which the passage of time makes him a boy & subsequently a Youth appearance which he has bought as a part of his destiny . Mother with the loving care of his child can also guide in the best possible way & as mother she understand the weakness of the child certainly with her observation while taking food,while playing ,while crying where mother should find her observation & reason for his annoyance & his reason of his crying .
If the mother after observation his expression ,behavior , of his child & play method of his child , she can send his child for playing with the children of his age so that with the observation Mother can know the change of his habits of his child . Besides mother should concerned a child specialist & also psychology for the observation .
Quite good readers may not agreed with my views but whatever the caste ,& religion of Mother is if she has her spiritual inclination & interest in the power of prayer ,mother can certainly help to considerably action .
This is my personal opinion
I would like rather encourage development of critical thinking and problem solving skills then memory.
BY teaching him more in picture form, he will really have retentive memory of things he saw pictorially than other forms
