How easy it is to remember information: a way proven by scientists

Canadian researchers have confirmed: the best way to remember something is to read aloud.

According to Colin MacLeod, professor of psychology at the University of Waterloo in Canada, when you say the information aloud, it is better coded in your memory.

Together with his team, he conducted a study. This is the time it's personal: the memory benefit of hearing oneself. , in which subjects had to memorize information in four different ways. The participants read a lot of random words about themselves and aloud, listened to the recordings of their own voices, and also how the words are read by someone else.

Those who loudly read aloud, remember most of the words. In second place were people who listened to the recordings. Followed by subjects who listened to someone else. The fewest words survived in the memory of those who read to themselves.

The trivialities of affairs were the worst. A little better when you hear someone's voice. It's much better if you hear your own voice, but it's best to pronounce the words yourself, and also simultaneously hear your own voice and move your own language.
