memory retention techniques

Memory retention techniques are strategies that help you remember information more effectively. These include practices like repetition, which reinforces learning; mnemonic devices, which use patterns or associations to make recall easier; and organization, such as categorizing information for better structure. Connecting new knowledge to existing memories (elaboration) and practicing retrieval—actively recalling information—also strengthen memory. Additionally, getting adequate sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, and reducing stress support brain health, improving your ability to retain and recall information. Using these techniques consistently can enhance your memory over time and make learning more efficient.
