This book is for many can be a great revelation for someone a great test, for questions that seeks

and
finds the answers everyone, always worried about humanity, and already seemed to have their right
decision.

What are the possibilities of man? Are they limited? In addition, if limited, then what? Limits of human
capabilities is not - all a matter of training the brain. It is the brain, a unique tool of human cultivation,
will help everyone to transform his or her lives. Supports in this work will be an effective method of
training attention function.

Prelude
The human brain - a wonderful mechanism created by nature. He coordinates the work of all
systems of the body, and the second receives and produces a huge number of nerve impulses that allow us
to move, breathe and know the world senses. However, as with all other components of the body, it gets
tired and gradually loses its speed and clarity.

Often with age without much joy, we notice that it becomes increasingly difficult to concentrate, take it in
your mind and remember. The reaction slows down, and mental images are no longer as bright as a child.
There comes a sad thought, "I'm getting old ..." Really nothing can change?

You Can!

Any organ of our body is no longer active and work correctly if there is no load. The monotonous,
monotonous work, lack of new faces, impressions and sensations, many stresses and emotions lead to the
fact that the brain just turned off. The less we give him opportunities for development, the faster it loses
its efficiency. However, it is a reversible process, and return him to power, former sharpness and clarity as
possible. Your brain needs exercise!

Introduction
Unfortunately, the human uses his mind is not at full capacity. However, the situation can try to change,
training the body on a daily basis. This is what will be discussed in the submitted article.

Brain Training - a very important and necessary activity. After all, today scientists have shown that only
60 years to the human body reaches its peak of development. Previously, it believed that at this time brain
activity has significantly decreased. Modern scientists have shown that brain activity does not depend on
themselves neurons (the amount of which decreases with age), and the quality of the connections between
them. These communications can be maintained and further enhanced by active intellectual activities.
American Writer Tips.
At all times, people knew that the most important activity is to train the brain. That's about it in his book
in 1936 wrote the American writer Dorothy Brand. It has provided some simple but very effective exercise
to enhance brain activity.

1. Every day you need to allocate an hour when it is necessary to reduce the maximum speech
activity. Those with no one to talk. If necessary, the questions to be answered in monosyllables,
clearly and in fact.
2. In half an hour a day to think about one thing. Since the first to do it will be very hard, training
should be started 5 minutes.
3. A quarter of an hour a day to say, without using words to me, my, me.
4. We need two hours a day every day to make a plan of activities and strictly follow it.
5. On the day, you need to put yourself 12 tasks. They all must have to perform. These exercises will
not only train the brain, but also make people look at themselves and the world more widely.

These exercises will not only train the brain, but also make people look at themselves and the world more
widely.
About Cerebral Hemispheres.
All people must know that the brain consists of two hemispheres. Therefore, the right is responsible for
intuition and creativity, the left - for logic and math skills. Ideally, these two hemispheres one develops in
parallel. However, you can try to develop a certain quality of training only the desired part of the brain.

The right hemisphere

Train right brain may consist of the following exercises:
1. It is necessary to pay more attention to the creative activity. So, you can go to a museum or to do
drawing.
2. We need to think of the next day. In this case, it turns on creative thinking, which is responsible
for precisely the right hemisphere.
3. On the street you can also train your brain. You just have to look into the faces of people and
assume what they are thinking now.

Such exercises can be very much. It is only necessary to try as much as possible to use imagination. By the
way, it is perfectly develop the right brain with the baby game.

The left hemisphere

1. Several other training can be brain (in this case it will go to the left hemisphere). What exercises
will be relevant in this case:
2. We need to try as much as possible to solve crossword puzzles.
3. Good train left brain mathematics. We need to solve problems, gradually increasing their
complexity.
4. It is also necessary to solve logic problems.

It is said that for the development of the brain and body need to use (but mirrored). If you want to develop
the left brain, you need to train the right arm and leg. And vice versa.
Part I – How Mindfulness Training Affects Our
Neurons
Our brain is plastic - new neural connections can be formed into adulthood. Moreover, with the help of
special exercises can we stimulate the development of these relations and to train certain areas of brain
function and.

Offtop

The first time I saw Jonathan, he's only sixteen and he was in the tenth grade. He entered the office
shuffled his jeans hung low on his hips, and long blond hair falling over his eyes. He said that the last
couple of months he was bad and sad, and occasionally for no apparent reason he began to cry. I learned
that his school was the company of close friends, and with the study there were no problems. He was
indifferent, almost dismissively he said that the house everything was normal: older sister and a younger
brother of his getting out, and irritated parents, as always. It seemed that there was nothing unusual in
Jonathan's life happened.

And yet, something definitely went wrong. Tears and low mood accompanied by Jonathan uncontrollable
fits of rage. Ordinary situations where, for example late sister or brother took his guitar without
permission, causing him intense anger. Just being with Jonathan, I sensed his frustration and burnout.
He admitted that he also noticed in his sleep problems, decreased appetite, and suicidal thoughts. But I
found that Jonathan is no attempt suicide and was not planning on it.

Sudden outbursts of irritability could speak as one of the main signs of deep depression, especially in
children. But they might as well belong to the symptoms of bipolar disorder is often inherited and often
manifests itself in adolescence.

We started classes aimed at training of mindfulness skills. The idea was that these techniques create a
temporary state of activation of the brain every time we repeat them. With regular repetition of short-term
state of becoming long-term and permanent. So through the practice of mindfulness is transformed into a
character trait.

Imagine a bicycle wheel, which in the center of the axis, and from it to the rim spokes differ. Rim - is all
that we can pay attention to: the thoughts and feelings, perception of the world, or sensations in the body.
Axis - this inner space of consciousness, from which comes awareness. Spokes indicate the direction of
attention on a specific part of the rim. Awareness focused on the axis of the wheel, and we focus on
different objects - points on the rim. Axis is a metaphor of the prefrontal cortex.

If you have only recently engaged in the training of conscious attention, you might want to compare it
with the development of a musical instrument. Initially, you concentrate on certain elements: the strings,
keyboard, or mouthpiece. Then you practice the basic skills: play gam-chords, consistently focusing on
each note or we. Targeted and regular practice allows you to develop a new ability. It actually strengthens
the areas of the brain necessary for the new activity.

"If you have only recently engaged in the training of conscious attention, you might want to compare it
with the development of a musical instrument"

Training awareness also helps develop skill - set a goal and go for it - just as a musical instrument stands
out. It is developed through observation and contributes to the stabilization and retention of attention.
The next step is to learn to distinguish the quality of awareness of the object of attention. Jonathan and
started the stage with a "scan" of the body.

He had to lie down on the floor and focus on the parts of the body called me. We are consistently moving
from the toes to the nose, stopping periodically to specific sensations he said. When Jonathan was
distracted, he had mentioned that he was distracted, let it go and focus again, as he did with the breath.
Dive into the bodily sensations directed his attention to the new site on the wheel rim awareness. He
found the area of tension or relaxation and notice what distracted, moving inside the wheel sector, which
is the sixth sense.

Then I taught Jonathan meditation in motion: he made twenty slow steps around the room, focusing on
the feet or legs, and using a similar approach. When Jonathan realized that distracted, he simply returned
the note back. This set the stage for objectivity. the concentration of an object changes with each practice,
but the feeling remained the same awareness.
Part II – Memory Training
You catch yourself thinking that bad memorize a variety of information: phone numbers, associates the
names, dates of birth relatives.

Your memory is constantly lets you down at the wrong time? How to improve memory?

I will share with you a little secret - in order to improve memory - it needs to be trained!

Our memory has an unlimited amount, many cells for a variety of information; just we have not learned to
use them!

I want to offer you effective tips that will allow you to keep in your head a lot of interesting information!
Simple Effective Tips
1. Get enough sleep, to improve memory!
The process of storing information occurs when you are sleeping. Then the brain switches from getting
into a state of preservation: During the phase of sleep with rapid eye movement all the events of the day,
are classified and linked with other already accumulated memories and knowledge.

Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley have studied the process of memory loss in
adults and found that it is associated with poor sleep. Moreover, other research has shown that full sleep
helps children improve academic performance. By combining these results, we obtain the main
conclusion: in order to improve memory, you need to sleep no matter how old you are. Every adult needs
eight hours of sleep, maybe a little more or less, it is individually.

The best way to remember the information you need is to focus on it just before you go to bed.

We all know the rule about 8 hours sleep, which suggests that our brains to fully rest and recover you need
to sleep at least 8 hours a day. For daily process huge amounts of information, the brain needs a rest, so
remember, if you want to improve your memory, get enough sleep.
 2. Read useful books!
When you read - your own brain, and automatically stores the read information, and if it is a vital and
positive - even more so!

In your brain come up vivid images, turn on the imagination!

After reading the highlights you can take notes. And after a while to get through his notes, reread the story
and try to recover as completely as possible in memory.

But simultaneously with the same reading books can be, for example, ignore the tab. And each time,
closing the book, remember, had to stop on a page.

How to improve memory in between times more? Try to remember numbers near telephones. This, by the
way, can help in an emergency. It is also useful to keep in mind the series and number of his passport.
Periodically, remember the names of their classmates or to memorize the prices in the stores. The latter,
incidentally, will help to save.

Reading - a great workout for your memory, and you have increased your vocabulary words, increased
intelligence!
 3. Learn by heart poems!
Think about how many verses you know by heart?

But your child knows many poems, unlike some.

, after graduation, people rarely faced with the need to learn by heart verses. Children in this respect
surpass many adults. Therefore, if there is a great desire to train the brain, but do not know how to
develop memory - learn poems with your child. This council will provide an opportunity to not only
improve memory, but also get many emotions from exploring the beautiful poetry!

Learn poems with your child - it will not only train your memory - but also give you many pleasant
sensations of beauty!
 4. Computer games improve memory!
Fans of computer games will be interested to know that they not only kill time at the computer, but also
improve your memory.

But ... .For memory is enough for 30 minutes of the game, but not the whole day.

When you play a puzzle game - your brain thinks, remembers the action chooses a particular strategy,
planning future events.

Many experts are of the opinion that the activity of the brain activity is the very factor that hinders the
psychological human aging. But not everyone can travel the world and constantly doing something new, to
keep your mind sharp. And video games just might be a great solution to this problem.

The tests, conducted two weeks later, found that playing 3D games, students showed improvement in
cognitive function. In particular, memory operation have improved to about 12%.

Know the measure - not to get carried away, because this thing before a fall!
 5. To improve memory - works with numbers!
"Why, I can remember all the small stuff, and serious things have to almost fight to wrest from creeping
sclerosis?" – Judy Oliver (my wife).

Admit honestly, you well know and remember the multiplication table?

Today, people just do not themselves represent without various calculators!

Do you practice your count in the mind (preferably in a column, as in school) all their purchases in stores
(even though the check in).

Not only do you get the brain to work and train and memory!
 6. Rid yourself of the daily routine!
Give your memory the opportunity to get some fresh air!

Try to make spontaneous and unconventional behavior.

For example, you can change your route to work every day - to other ways!

Instead of coffee in the morning - you can drink fresh juice!

Try not to look at the keyboard and try to print a few suggestions by blind dialing!

These here are simple ways you can rid yourself of annoying routine, reduce the effects of stress!
 7. Always learn new!
What you always wanted to learn to do, but how you do not always have enough time?

Today is just perfect for this day to try their hand at a new lesson!

Try your hand at a new lesson - this may be exploring the mysterious secrets of the pharaohs or diving!

Anything!

New - it's always interesting and always motivates ads fire to the blood, new emotions!

Do the same for yourself what you are afraid to do before or justify the lack of time!

Give your brain and memory work actively!

 8. Tell about yesterday.
Try to remember and tell your friend how you spent the day yesterday!

But start with the story of the end! It will be more difficult - but it will be just right for your memory!

Do it this way: at any time look at the clock and try to remember what you were doing at the same time
yesterday. Think of all the details. What did you do? Who were you? What were you wearing? What were
you thinking? Try to give detailed answers to these questions. Many people who have tried this exercise,
leave very rave reviews about it, and talked about the fact that this exercise is very interesting to perform.

When you remember the past - your memory is activated and will not be able to erase the former
information it may deem unnecessary!
 9. Learn English (Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, etc.)
The process of learning new languages has beneficial effects for the development of the brain. Catching
just one week, you can significantly improve memory. And the result can be made to preserve and
increase, if you regularly practice.

Learning a foreign language - is the best method of training the memory, even in the life of this knowledge
will be very useful!

Try every day to learn new words by 6-7!

You'll see in a few weeks, your memory will work as a watch!

 10. Often have sex.
Scientists have brought that those people who have a rich love life - almost never suffer from dementia!

If you are hard to memorize the phone numbers or reading a book, you and here come to the aid of sex.
British researchers say that during orgasm the vessels actively circulates the blood, which is rich in oxygen
and beneficial hormones. This is not only the blood reaches all the organs and systems of the body, it
reaches the hypothalamus - the brain department, which oversees the work of memory and learning
centers, and thus improves memory and learning ability.

And this is because having sex, as well as sports - oxygenates the body and also helps brain cells to grow
more rapidly, activating the hypothalamus, and he, in turn, is responsible for the memory!
 11. Do not sit on a rigid diet.
My dear reader, remember - when you are sitting on too hard and almost calorie-free diets - you lose not
only weight, but also the memory!

Scientists have brought that women who sit on harsh diets - information is processed very slowly!

Do not skip your breakfast. Carbohydrates contained in porridge and bread, are a major source of energy
for the brain. Keep a strong sense of hunger, it is seen that the normal reaction of people eating higher
rate than those who are on a diet or eating irregularly.

It is better to go on a balanced diet and do not hurt yourself!

 12. Women's contraception improves memory!
This is nonsense, but experts have brought an interesting fact that in the process of memorizing a good
influence have female contraceptive pill.

The longer a woman uses them - the effect is the best.

And most interesting is that contraceptive drugs bring positive results even when a woman stops taking
them.
 13. Soya - the best tool for the development of memory.
Scientists have brought an interesting fact that the people who sit on the soy diet have an excellent
memory!

Medical tests have shown that the people sitting on a diet rich in soy products have a delicious memory.
Try to enter in your menu soy meat, tofu and soy milk (2 times per week).
 14. Always breakfast.
Make it a habit to always eat breakfast in the morning!

Our brain activity is directly dependent on what food we eat. Start the day with a proper breakfast - and
alertness, concentration, good memory you provided.

To improve the mental activity in the morning is better to use: fish, broccoli, blueberries, currants,
pumpkin seeds, walnuts, fruits and vegetables.

Your brain during sleep burn a considerable amount of calories!

Eat breakfast - and you will be overcome forgetfulness for a day.

 15. Forget about laziness.
Remember, at the lazy people will never be a good memory! Struggle with laziness.

Recently we opened a Japanese technique effective against laziness, which is called "Kaydzen", also called
"Principle 1 minute."

The rule of this method reads that you are engaged in their work (teaching, sports, reading) for exactly 1
minute - and no more!

But lessons should take place every day at exactly the same time but 1 minute!

You know that 1 minute of time - it's nothing, it's a little - so the classes some business will take place
quickly, easily and with pleasure!

You can even forget about Leni, she did not have time to knock you.

The same actions that you can take 1 hour of time, and you understand it and find any excuse, only to do
nothing - can stretch for 1 minute!

You'll see, you'll be every day to develop the habit with the help of 1 minute!
 16. Sport - a good way to improve your memory!
Wise people always say, "When you exercise your body, your memory is trained, too!"

And it's really true!

When you keep your body in good physical condition - increased processing capacity and data storage in
the memory, as you have self-esteem rises!

Sports saturate the brain with oxygen and reduce the risk of diseases such as cardiovascular, diabetes -
with portability that memory deteriorates.
 17. Listen to music.
While listening to your favorite tracks are sound vibrations that cause the brain waves! With the help of
these waves, we remember information faster.

If you want to improve the process of storing data, to maximize the concentration of attention, then no
doubt you can enjoy the music of Mozart and Haydn, because their works are distinguished by a special
melody and harmony. Undeniable positive effects of classical music on the human intellect and brain,
while there is a significant improvement in memory and accelerated learning.

Neuroscientists believe in the positive effect of classical music on the concentration of attention, so the
music is ideal for library reading rooms. The quiet sound of music gives you an opportunity to improve the
process of storing and processing information, thus reducing the time to achieve the desired results.
Increase concentration will help the music of composers such as Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Debussy.

From all the above it follows that the classical music of the Baroque promotes memorization, has
beneficial effects on concentration, as well as other intellectual processes.

Best Music for memory training - classic!

 18. Always think about the good.
The brain - a memory machine. Take an old photo album or school diary and remember. Spend time with
your memories. However, remember only the good. Do not look at photos of people, which are associated
with bad memories. Cover them with your hand or a piece of paper. Allow the mind to reflect, to
remember. Positive emotions from the memories to help you cope with problems.

The most malicious enemy of memory - irritability and negative mood! Bad thoughts, apathy to
everything - make us scattered and poorly we remember anything.

But positive people, smile, good thoughts - make our memory to work as "excellent"!

Often remember the pleasant!

Part III – Speed Reading
We often catch myself thinking, that does not manage to capture the essence of all the information that
comes to us during the day from the newspapers, the Internet, books, etc. To help solve this problem is
speed-reading. Speed-reading helps a lot to reduce the time that a person spends on reading and
comprehension of any text. Speed-reading can be free to learn at home - 5 prompt exercise - way to
master speed reading at home.

Most of the words that we read - it is water, which serves as a binder, the most important thing is usually
expressed in a few words. When reading scientific texts brain trained person reads only these major,
important words, without dwelling on the words-chords.

However, do not assume that through speed-reading, you will not be able fiction, not at all. Speed-reading
helps to closely associate reading fiction with the "view" of scenes from the book in his head; ie, reading a
book, you like watching a movie, created by your own imagination.

At the same texts that you will not read for their own pleasure, you can spend a lot less time, while in in
any case not at the expense of understanding the text.
 1. Obstacles to the rapid reading
1. One of the major obstacles to the rapid reading is a habit of mentally pronounce the text himself.
As a result of our brain, in addition to visual, and yet I have to process the voice information,
which significantly reduces the rate of reading material. Thus the first step towards the
development of speed reading will cease pronunciation of the text.

If the reading is accompanied by mumbling aloud or lip movement (articulation), you can get rid of her,
holding between his teeth an object or gently biting his tongue. If the pronunciation of the ligaments
occurs at the level (but without the expressed utterance sounds) and the brain, the best way to suppress
this bad habit will be the special exercises. During the reading of a person proposed to repel a pencil or
a finger a certain tact, to say to himself, tongue twisters and poems, sing, count to 20 - in other words,
to do something that prevents pronouncing himself the text.

2. Another "obstacle" to learn speed reading skills are the so-called regression - reflexive eye
movements and re-reading paragraphs and sentences. It is estimated that due to inattention or the
presence of difficult-to-understand text passages man returns to read up to 10-11 times! Fix this
problem, you can use a cardboard bookmark, or, for example, a sheet of paper, which must be
closed already digested material.

3. Another reason for the low reading rate is poorly developed peripheral vision, not allowing a
glance voluminous parts of the text. In this case, the recommended training vertical reading, in
which, looking at the middle of the line, people will see it whole and will be able to move to the
next line as it were, in a vertical line.

Exercise is best to narrow the texts (e.g., newspaper columns) or Schulte table, is a square of 25 cells. In
each cell randomly inscribe the numbers from 1 to 25 and then from a distance of about 30 cm, with
eyes fixed on the central figure, trying to find the rest of the order.
 2. Who has studied speed reading
Roosevelt mastered speed reading

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the fastest and the most voracious readers of all government
leaders. Various sources report that he was able to read a paragraph at a glance, finishing reading any
book, as a rule, in one sitting. Roosevelt studied speed reading fanaticism.

It is known that Roosevelt started in this area with an average read speed, which decided to improve the
work seriously. Among his achievements was first increase area initially covered during the pause, up to
four words and subsequently brought Roosevelt this number up to six and more, up to eight words.

A method of speed-reading Balzac

Here's how Balzac described his way of reading: "The absorption of thought in the process of reading I
have reached a phenomenal ability. Looking grasped seven-eight rows at once, and learned the meaning
of the mind at a speed corresponding to the speed of the eye. Often a single word allowed to learn the
meaning of an entire sentence."

How to read Washington

Washington was reading the morning paper just loud. He carefully listened to the lyrics, mumbled, and
prevented its neighbors. He alleged that reading aloud helps him understand the meaning of the text and
separate the truth from falsehood.

The monk Raymond Lully knew techniques of fast reading ...

Italian monk who lived in the Middle Ages, Raymond Lull suggested reading system that allows you to
quickly read the book, but up to 50 years of the last century has been the lot of speed-reading the few
bright thinkers and politicians, who developed this skill yourself. Among the famous people who
possessed enough speed-reading list of such greats as Honore de Balzac Napoleon, Pushkin,
Chernyshevsky, Lenin, John F. Kennedy.

Stalin Speed reading

In Stalin's library, I had almost the entire Russian literary classics: and separate books and collected
works. Especially a lot of books and was Pushkin. In his library were all Russian and Soviet Encyclopedia,
a large number of dictionaries, especially the dictionaries of the Russian language and the dictionary of
foreign words, all sorts of reference books.

Most of his books, Stalin was looking, and many read very carefully. Some of the books he read several
times. Stalin read the book, as a rule, with a pencil, and often with a few color pencils in hands and on the
table. He pointed out many of the phrases and paragraphs, making notes and writing in the margins.
Stalin viewed or read several books a day. He said some of the visitors to his office showing a fresh stack of
books on his desk: "This is my daily rate - 500 pages."

Karl Marx made the book "slaves"

Karl Marx said: "Books - my slaves" - and streak marks and notes fields of each book read to them,
bending and laying the necessary pages to him.

Hitler speed-reading system

Curiously, Hitler also had a reading system. In my spare time and during unemployment, he swallowed
indiscriminately political, scientific and technical literature, which is in the brochures, tracts, pamphlets
and in the rapidly exploding little book quenches thirst for knowledge. Initially, he leafed through the
book, usually from the end, and checked whether it was worth reading them. If the cost, then I read
exactly what he needed to protect his own way still other examples of his ideas, established since the time
of Vienna and Munich. He actively worked through the publication only if they reported the facts, which,
he believed, was to be ever ready as evidence. Every day, early in the morning or late at night, worked
through a large book. Hitler did not thoroughly studied, universally, but never went without zeal. He
calmly pondering just what he admitted. According to the Secretary, in his personal library was not a
classic, no one works, characterized by humanity and spirituality. That is what he sometimes regretted
that he was doomed to give up reading fiction, and can only read science.
 3. Why we read quickly?
Who needs speed-reading? The answer to this question is very simple. Anyone who seeks to know the
new, this skill will be useful. Learning how to learn speed-reading, and spending a few months on what to
learn this technique in practice, you can then save a huge amount of time.

In turn, slow reading is not always justified. Most people do not finish the book before the end of it
because of the large amount of time. In addition, reading slowly, chances to lose interest in the story and
again throw the book without having read.

For some specialists reading relevant literature - is part of work duties, giving the opportunity to grow,
develop and become an expert in their field. For these people to master speed-reading technique - a
professional necessity.
 4. Is it possible to learn speed-reading at home?
Nowadays, there are many specialized courses for "little money" promises to teach everyone who wants to
read at speeds of up to 3000 words per minute. Training sessions last from a month to three. But, is it
worth spending time and money to attend such courses, if you can develop a speed reading at home
without any investment? Such independent learning even has its own advantages:

Free choice time for training allows to train during the hours when it is most convenient and
rewarding.
Methods of learning speed reading exercises and descriptions are public information, which can
be found in special manuals, sold in any bookstore.
The lack of distractions.
The ability by choosing the duration of training, learning time control.
 5. Exercises to increase reading speed
It's hard to imagine that even 20-30 years ago, to find the answer to any question, it was necessary to go
to the library, borrow books on the subject you are interested in and where to look for the desired
material. Nowadays, simply specify the appropriate request a search engine and get a wealth of
information on your topic of interest.

Now there is no shortage of information, but there is a problem of its overabundance in which a person is
lost. In the modern information space must be able to navigate to make this space useful. One of the most
useful skills is the ability to quickly, and most importantly, the benefit to receive the information, which
we see in their laptops, e-books, iPhone, iPad and all other sources of information, including newspapers
and books.

The ability to quickly read the article, book, textbook, as well as to understand and learn the material will
allow you to become more efficient, more successful than you were before. And most importantly, it will
save your time, which becomes one of the most important resources. This section contains useful material
on how to master the technique of speed reading with a high level of effective perception of the
information.

Today, spending time on the development of speed reading methods, you will be able tomorrow to
receive and process more information, remaining master of your time saved.
For a start look at all the lessons, try the exercise, if any, you are given skill quickly, then don’t stop for a
long time in this lesson. For example, many people do not experience problems with attention when
reading and are able to go directly to Lesson 2. Pay more attention to the lessons and exercises, which are:

1. It seems useful to you.

2. Make you trouble.

Optional exercises held in the following sequence, which is indicated in the lessons, most importantly to
reach the goal for each part.
Lesson 1: Concentration of attention
You've probably noticed that the book is an interesting read in one breath and faster boring textbook.
Also, for example, when reading an interesting book, you gradually accelerate, immersed in the process of
reading ... Warning for speed reading is very important, and most importantly, it can be trained.

The essence of attention problems. Inattention when reading can be expressed in the fact that when
you read, you have to go back to the previous sentence, as you read it mechanically, but have not
penetrated into the meaning. The more often you return, the lower your pace. Because the first step to
increase your reading speed is to work with your attention and concentration when reading.

The attention and interest. Often you yourself might notice that in the first minutes of the reading
process is much slower than a half hour after the start. You like "you accelerate." In fact, increases your
level of attention. Especially if the book is interesting, and you caught the plot. What is more interesting
for you book, the more your attention and the faster you are reading?

- But can you do so that attention was focused on the text does not even the most interesting in the first
minutes, which will undoubtedly increase your reading speed?

- Can! Try the following exercises and recommendations.

Recommendation 1.1. Games
Try to always find something interesting in the routine, making any action in the game. Therefore, what
good parents who want their child to do some boring work. Games are common to many living beings; it is
embedded in us at the genetic level.

The game is important excitement!

Passion (French hasard.) - Passion, enthusiasm, quick temper, excessive vehemence. (Great Soviet
Encyclopedia). To create a gambling game based on the upcoming process of reading, you must decide on
the rules of the game and set clear conditions for the victory in this game. If you are given this difficult,
you can use the examples and recommendations below.

Competitiveness. For example, if you read the tutorial before the exam, you can make a competition with
friends; see who will read a textbook or who respond to more questions from the textbook, you can ask
each other. Competitiveness in the learning process - is the main weapon of the teacher (I know from
experience) that can increase the interest in learning. The vast majority of people in a reckless attempt to
"be better" opponent. Therefore, individual lessons are not as effective as a group. And in reading, you can
find an opponent yourself!

Personal bests. Another factor creating excitement in reading can be a struggle with ourselves in order to
achieve a certain result. For example, reading a book, you can pinpoint your reading speed, let the number
of pages per hour, and then try to beat your own record. Personal records can be put in speed, in number
of pages, number of books in the development of material and much more.
Recommendation 1.2. Motivation
Try to motivate yourself that readable material may be useful to you. Try to list all the possible benefits
that will give you the text read. Suppose they are not significant, but the main thing to find them. Then
visualize it, dream and start reading.

Even if it's a boring textbook to be read in preparation for the exam, you have to understand that this
knowledge will be useful and, in the end, a good mark on the subject will please even your mother.
Exercise 1.3. External stimuli
Some people have a very important ability: they can be engaged in some business, when around them the
noise and bustle. Often it is a matter of habit, for example, when a person is living in a small apartment or
dorm, and he had to adapt to difficult conditions and be able to do, not paying any attention to that.

Difficult conditions make a person more alert; teach him to disconnect from external stimuli and to do
what he wants.

Try to create artificially currently difficult environment, try to focus on reading now when you are
listening to music, when people walk around. Go to the street in the park on a day off and read on a bench,
trying to ignore the others, and passers-by.
Exercise 1.4. A state of trance
The state of trance, according to observations expert on hypnosis M. Erickson, is characterized by
increased attention, not the ability to respond to external stimuli, as well as the ability to ignore the
signals of certain senses. So, in a trance a person can take a position that is inconvenient in a normal state,
and hold in this position for quite a long time.

For example, reading an interesting book, and his legs crossed, in half an hour during the break, you may
find that one leg severely stiff. But while reading you did not think about the leg, you were in a state of
heightened attention to the book, you have to work so much visual perception, the signals from other
senses is simply not perceived by the brain.
Additionally. To get rid of constant returns to already read (regression) to understand the meaning, you
may also be useful exercise from Lesson 2 and Lesson 4. Getting rid of articulation allows equating the
concept of "read" and "understand" the text, so that you will not mechanically pronounce read about itself,
and therefore, will not be read separately from the understanding and the creation of sensual images read.
Lesson 4 Material aimed at training the search skill required information in the text, which can also help
you not to come back to the already read.

Note. If you think that the proposed exercise you are too easy, you can move on to the next lesson. After
all, every person is different, and different skills can be given in different ways: one - a little easier, the
other - a little more complicated.
Lesson 2: Suppression of articulation
Most people have a habit of reading the text, pronouncing it myself. If you want to read the text quickly, it
should be done "silently", i.e., freeing themselves from the articulation.

The problem of articulation. Articulation - pronunciation of the text, is a significant element of the
reading. Articulation helps to give read the words sound design. As a phenomenon of articulation has its
pros and cons.

Pros articulation: articulation allows us to improve our speech, to understand how words sound. It is
important when reading poetry and fiction.

Cons articulation: articulation slows down the reading, and to a lesser extent helps to quickly
understand the meaning of reading, highlight the text of the desired information.

No matter how useful articulation, read it interferes information material. As a result of talking about
myself reading the text, we spend much more time than would be spent if simply seeing the text and
creating visual images in my head reading, aware of it.

Completely get rid of articulation is not necessary, it is important just to be able to suppress it in the
desired time to speed read.
Exercises 2.1. Alternative text
To begin, try to feel how you perceive the text without articulation. While reading instead pronounce
himself read the text, try to pronounce your words well-known sequence.

Nonsense. You can start by casting himself (or ears) of any sound combinations, which typically use
popular artists songs: tra-ta-ta, la-la-la, and so on. At the same time recitative try to understand the
content of the text, which read. Take a book and exercise is easier to understand the meaning of the text,
making it difficult to pronounce it yourself by saying your chosen nonsense.

Phrases. It is also good to help a variety of proverbs, poems, songs, tongue twisters, the main thing that
they were doing pronunciation of the most readable text inconvenient or even impossible for you.

Score. Too complicated intricate phrases, on the other hand, should not distract you from the perception
of readable text. For instance, suitable will account numbers to yourself 1, 2, 3, 4 ... 20. Maximum
convenient to count to 20, as the names of all the numbers in this range consist of a single word, whereas
the composite numerals may confuse you, disturbing not only pronouncing, but also the perception of
readable text.

If you already feel the strength to understand the text, suppressing the articulation in such a way, you can
move on to the exercises of the second group. They will aim to develop and reinforce the skills of reading,
without articulation.
Exercises 2.2. Spoiler for articulation
Stir articulation can also be acting physically on the very vocal apparatus. The effect of these exercises,
unlike the previous ones, is achieved by the articulation during reading becomes physically
uncomfortable, and the body tries not to use it.

These exercises develop the ability to refuse the articulation in reading at any time, when you will need.

Finger near lips. During the reading, (for a start is better to use a simple text) keep a finger at the lips, as if
you want to show a gesture of "quieter". Start reading the text and at the same time try to control the
tongue and lips, try, so they did not move, and just glide through the eyes of the text. It is advisable to
slide on the text at the same speed. At first, this can be done is not fast, gradually accelerating, subject to
the successful perception of sense without reading pronunciation of the text.

If this exercise does not cause you difficulty, or vice versa, you are unable to get rid of the articulation of
the proposed method, try different variations of this exercise.

Modifications. To complicate exercises can hold a pencil teeth. Try to keep the tongue and lips did not
move. You can also try to control the language, it does not touch a pencil. Or vice versa, you can try to
press the tongue against the teeth.

Note. If you constantly use only one of the proposed exercises, you get used to perform it on the
machine, which is contrary to the goal of any exercise designed to get rid of articulation. The main thing
is to put yourself in a position most uncomfortable for readable text of pronunciation. So strive to
diversify the types of interference when reading your articulation.
Exercise 2.3. Music
While reading, you can listen to relaxing music, watching music development. Ideal jazz, as well as the
uneven pace of the composition, which may prevent you pronounce the text. To enhance the effect, you
can also sing a melody.

Some experts on speed-reading (for example, Oleg Andreev) even offer to use specific rhythms of
articulation suppression. However, it should be noted that this exercise is not for everyone. Some people
quite easily abstracted from the sound of music and just do not pay attention to it, while others can not
read with extraneous noise.
Exercises 2.4. Keeping pace
Another useful way to suppress the articulation of speed reading is an exercise you can give a name to
"keep the pace." For its implementation you will need to quickly lead the index finger under the line with
the text, trying at the same time as quickly read it. On the pronunciation of in this case you just do not
have enough time. You should try to read the text at the same pace as the movement of a finger. To get
started, try to read simple texts, which do not require intense concentration and the maximum available
for perception.

It is better not to get involved in this exercise, and do it only in cases where other exercises do not help.
Abusing the supervision of a finger moving along the lines, you can degrade their visual skills, you will
read about in the next lesson.

Do the exercises until such time until you reach the goal - the ability to read text without of
pronunciation (articulation). Then move on to the next lesson. However, do not try to always read the
"silence", since the articulation has a positive side.
Lesson 3: Train visual skills when reading
The ability to see the entire text once in a paragraph or even a page, to understand its structure, do not
read from left to right and top to bottom (or, as they say, "on the diagonal") - this is an important skill
during fast reading. Therefore, visual skills also need to train, but in real life, they may come in handy
when driving a car, in team sports, etc. The tutorial presents a special table and a simulator for training
speed-reading.

Now that you already can with some success to suppress the articulation in reading, you can start to work
on the visual skills that help to better perceive the information. As you know, the main emphasis in the
speed-reading is made on visual skills. If you want to read faster, you should be able to see large amounts
of text, not reading it line by line from left to right, and the entire whole, diagonally from top to bottom.

Perhaps for many, this may seem strange skill. After all, as you can read the text does not consistently
and completely? Can!

Remember as a child you read by syllables, and you seemed like a miracle, as adults read so fast. The
secret is that we do not read the word consistently; we see it in its entirety. And why stop short? Entirely
possible to see the whole sentence, a paragraph, or even the entire page. The main thing - to learn it, get
used to.
Exercise 3.1. Schulte Tables
Many authors suggest using the Schulte tables for training visual skills when reading. Schulte table
consists of cells, which are arranged in a chaotic manner of. In our lesson offered in Table 5 by 5 cells, as
close in size to the width of the book page or a standard text page. For training visual fast reading skills,
try to find all the speed of succession and note the time to find out how fast you can do it.

How to do it faster? To quickly find the numbers, try to look at the entire table at once. To do this, move
away from the monitor screen a little further (50 cm and beyond), trying to concentrate on the central cell,
and at the same time to look at the entire table at once peripheral vision. Remember how you look at the
picture, you do not look for the queue for some of its elements, as you can see in its entirety. Also proceed
with this table.

Now try to look for the number, without moving the eyes (and, especially, his head), but just looking at the
entire table. If this sounds complicated, move further away (if you allow vision).

The essence of the exercise is to find all the numbers without moving the eyes and focusing on all cells
simultaneously.
Exercises 3.2. Exercises for eyes
Use exercise to the eye, such as the "alphabet", when you need to mentally write all the letters of the
alphabet, moving only his eyes. In addition, you can perform some standard exercises for the development
of:

alternation of observed objects from near to far and vice versa,

frequent blinking for 10-15 seconds,
squinting and subsequent relaxation of the eye,
and others.

Be sure to make a pause in reading, preferably every hour or even half an hour. Try to choose to read a
book with a wide brim - so your eyes are less tired.
Exercise 3.3. Top down
In order to learn to read the texts of the vertical eye movement (from the top down, or read on the
diagonal), begin with a simple. Try to read newspapers and magazines with narrow columns of "top-
down" of the text, without using eye movement "left to right". It also suited the simple verses, but it is
better to use the children's poetry with the plot, so you can read text that is focused on the deep meaning.
In addition, using common text editors installed on any computer, you can draw any text distributed as a
column, and then print or read on the screen.

Once you feel the ease and be able to read without articulation and vertically, you can gradually move to
the poems and columns of greater width, or even books with narrow pages. Over time, you will feel that it
is quite easy.

Do the exercises until such time until you reach the goal. Start with Schulte tables, gradually moving to
the skills of "vertical reading." At the same time you can learn the next lesson.
Lesson 4: Speed-reading and information
management
It is no secret that most of the texts are only a small part of the useful information that you must learn
quickly to find. This skill comes more often from the reading experience, but you can speed this process by
using special exercises.

If you already have some success with the suppression of articulation and reading "top down", then you
are likely to encounter a problem of poor assimilation of the read information. And there is nothing
strange. During a quick read in your brain to process goes much more information than the usual reading,
with the volume you have not learned to cope. Here are ways to, as well as specific techniques and
exercises to manage information when speed-reading.

To read faster and it does not lose effectiveness, learn to structure the information and to visualize it on
the basis of the picture, it is close to you, make notes, build flowcharts and mind-maps. Structuring
information in a quick reading is also an important foundation of storage, which will be discussed in the
next lesson.
Exercise 4.1. The purpose of reading
Try to read a book or any material initially put a goal to your reading. If desired, you can create a profile,
which you will easily make it of interest to you material from the book. It is not excluded that the text may
be 99% did not the information you need, and only 1% of the percentage of useful material, which should
be able to competently take from the offered volume.
Exercise 4.2. Notes
Many texts have a similar structure, for example, sections in the textbook of history. By studying a certain
age, you have to understand that there is evidence that it is peculiar to this age - rulers, wars, laws,
economic conditions, specialization in production and so on. Reading the historical text, do not forget to
pay attention, first of all, on these facts, structuring them in my head. Prepare a scheme of study of the
text, understand that you want to learn from it for himself, make some important headings (categories) on
the basis of which you will be able to structure and subsequently reproduce the text read.

You can also read books and to recharge your vocabulary. To do this, a new word, record it, and be sure to
specify which page you found it, so you could go back to the context. After reading, take some time to work
with the dictionary. Such actions will help to significantly enrich your verbal arsenal.

Reading many books simply meaningless without note-taking, or at least without putting specific marks
and bookmarks in the text, so do not neglect the structuring and summarizing reading at least in my head.
Recommendation 4.3. Paragraphs
There are certain features of the written language, which will help you to better focus on the page while
reading a book.

For example, everyone knows that the standard unit of text is the paragraph. Each new paragraph should
begin when the previous point in some way disclosed. Therefore, the speed reading can be guided
precisely into paragraphs, as informative text units. If you have mastered the techniques of previous
lessons and can accept the text of a paragraph entirely, go to the actual book page and attempt to find the
meaning of each paragraph, without reading it, just covering his eyes.

Paragraph (German Absatz - red line, literally - the ledge.) 1) indent the first line of text or writing; 2) of
the text related semantic unity and dedicated indent the first line.

Each paragraph has a so-called key (meaning) words and phrases. Train like the search to find their
numbers in Schulte table. Since the paragraph is a complete unit of meaning of the text, it can be assumed
that the problem statement in the paragraph should come first, and the solution of the problem can be
expected somewhere in the end of the paragraph. This scheme works in most cases, although there are
exceptions.
Exercise 4.4. Recovery of gaps
There is another useful exercise, which allows to learn to find the necessary information in the text at a
rapid reading. For its implementation requires two small strips of paper of length equal to the height of
the leaf. Using these strips must be closed and the first few letters of the last page, as shown below:

Even if in this case is difficult to guess what the words are closed, you need to try to understand the
meaning of the text. If this exercise is given to you easily, then you can try to increase the speed of reading
or close more text strips, and soon you will learn to glide easily through the text, understanding its
meaning.
Lesson 5: Speed-reading and memory
development
When you learn to read quickly, you will be able to develop a sufficiently large amount of information.
However, the fast reading skill may be useless if the old will be forgotten, it is not strange, in principle,
with this amount of information. This information is necessary to be able to remember.

Development of memory while speed reading is in fact a necessary skill because if you are reading quickly
and not able to memorize information, this process does not make sense. There are many fee-based
courses to help you master the ability to remember the good old, but in my book, you'll find some useful
exercises and recommendations for improvement of memory with fast reading for such a small price, you
will agree.

Essentially, the work memory when the fast reading can be divided into two stages:

Hold reading for attention - a short-term storage of the read information, which allows you
to remember learned information only for a short time. The development of short-term memory
is partly due to the techniques and exercises that have been proposed in the lessons on hold
attention when reading and information management.

Long-term storage of the reading material. It often happens that after reading you well
remember that just read. However, after a certain time, for example, the next day you can not
remember much of what is learned yesterday. To avoid this, there are special repetition
technique.
Exercise 5.1. Hold reading for attention
The lesson for the training of attention (Lesson 1), it was noted that if you are reading an interesting
book, is likely to read, you will remember more easily than if you are reading a boring textbook for you. It
would seem banal truth, but should pay attention to several properties that contribute to a better
absorption of interesting text:

Emotionally. Interesting text brings to you the emotions that always help better memorization. The
brightest (emotional) moments people will remember for a lifetime. Emotions caused by text, also help to
remember its meaning or even literally concrete facts.

Visualization. If the book you are interested in, then while reading, you are immersed in the meaning of
reading. This dive is characterized by the fact that the body is trying to reproduce the text into visual
images, involving perception and other senses. Thus, interesting text is rendered, the sound becomes (that
fast reading is not very good), and you can associate it with a certain kinetic, taste and olfactory responses
of your body. The text, which is reproduced by various senses, remembered better, as it has greater sense
of association and, consequently, more factors, which will help him to remember at the right time.

So, to better remember the text, you can use the same methods as for the training of attention when
reading.

In addition, in the previous lesson (Lesson 4), there are exercises to improve the perception and
understanding of the text read that will help improve the efficiency of its short-term memory.
Exercise 5.2. Long-term storage
Conducted scientific studies show that long-term storage of the text is done by not only his understanding
and visualization, as using multiple repetitions. And the most important thing is not the number of
repetitions (or paraphrases sessions memories), read and correct the intervals between them.

In XIX century German scientist, experimental psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus showed the so-called
"forgetting curve" or "Ebbinghaus curve" that shows how the process of forgetting information:

According to today's specialists, there are 2 popular mode of rational repetition of the material studied.

1. If you have two days in which to store the old, better to

repeat the material as follows:
The first iteration - once at the end of the reading;
Second occurrence - 20 minutes after the first iteration;
Third repetition - 8 hours after the second;
Fourth repetition - 24 hours after the third.

2. If your time is not limited, and you want to remember

information for a very long time, the following are
considered optimal repetition of information sessions:
The first iteration - once at the end of the reading;
Second occurrence - 20-30 minutes after the first iteration;
Third repetition - 1 day after the second;
Fourth repetition - 2-3 weeks after the third;
Fifth repetition - in 2-3 months after the fourth repetition.
In this mode, you get the results of studies in a couple of weeks, and if you take 2-3 months, you can
significantly increase the speed and quality of reading.
Part IV – Visual Memory
We get out of the world a wealth of information. As is known, more than 80% sold by us through your
eyes. What - what goes unnoticed that - that leaves a trace in our soul and returns to our head after a
while.

Visual memory fills our memories vivid picture of the past, a lot of details, elements that are difficult to
describe in words very, very long time. We remember our life bright and full of thanks to well-coordinated
work of our eyes and our brain.

What is the visual memory? How it works, how to integrate the memory of the other senses? How to
improve visual memory, and why?
 1. Visual memory, what is it?
Visual Memory ... To explain what it is, it is not so difficult. For example, where are you - which you eat on
the bus, to another country, for example. With you together - about forty people, which you first saw
during the landing in the vehicle. So, before you cross the border, the bus stop and all the passengers,
including you, they come out of it and mix with passengers from other buses. It takes about 20 minutes A
man with a well-developed visual memory (in this case - the memory for faces) can easily single out from
the crowd is not only a man who sat next to for the past two hours, but most of the travelers from their
coach. Man is not so good with the visual memory to remember the two - three who sat in his field of
vision.

Or here's another example. Assume 10 years ago you were in Serbia. And now, at the mere mention of it
on TV, or in conversations with friends, do you imagine a bright and clear picture: the rolling green
mountains, and among them - small beautiful house.

Now it's time to define the visual memory. What does it all - the same, is it?

Visual memory - type of memory that is associated with the work of the visual analyzer. Responsible for
maintaining and then for the reproduction of visual images.

There are several types.

Iconic. Its duration is less than a second. Information that has not been used at this time is lost.
Short-term. Lasts 30 seconds.
Long-term. Especially long-term visual memory.
 2. Eidetic memory, what is it?
Also, eidetic memory is allocated in a separate group. This ability, which have not all men more often -
children, teenagers, artists. It is an opportunity to keep in mind bright and clear images of objects seen a
long period. Eidetic well see the image even after she disappeared from their sight.

Eidetic - well-developed photographic memory. Some use this term as a synonym for visual memory, we
are considering a photographic memory as part of the visual.

Remember, you've probably heard stories that some - a man with remarkable accuracy reproduces the
details he had seen some time ago the picture. Or the people who are ready, without stopping to recite a
variety of poems. It's all individual, possessing a well-developed eidetic or photographic memory.

There are unique cases eidetic. For example, Italian bibliophile Antonio Malyabeki, who lived in the late
17th - early 18th centuries, each of them read books could recite by heart at the end of his life. In addition,
there were more than 40 000 ... Or the 40th US President Ronald Reagan memorized texts just by looking
at them.
 3. Visual memory - an important media
Interestingly, the use of visual images it allows a person to encode a lot of memories.

We just enough to remember, for example, looks like a nice man, which we find in the cafeteria at
lunchtime. Remembering about it, we see a picture. Now imagine that we need to describe his friend, who
had never had the honor of meeting with this handsome. What need of words? Hundreds. He is tall and
broad-shouldered, and his hair was long, but not very much, to the shoulders, like this - the actor of this -
the film, and his beard is as one - that ...

It turns out that the image carries information of hundreds of words that remember, you will agree, is
much more difficult. It is unlikely that a friend will be able to repeat heard. Rather, it will be remembered
now the image that she heard was formed on the basis of descriptions.

Further. It seems that we only remember the picture. In fact, it is not. The visual image is complemented
by a large amount of information received from the other senses.

For example, five years ago, you traveled abroad in the famous restaurant. And then, walking down the
street, vaguely hear that someone - that mentions the name of the foreign institution in a conversation.
Before you immediately gets the picture: you're sitting, and before you chic table with cloth hanging to the
floor, gathered in several places, twilight, on the table is a glass of wine, and a lot of - a lot of flowers
around.

Is this all? No! Surely, you almost feel faint smell, which probably came from the kitchen then. And felt a
light freshness, because when you were in a restaurant, air conditioning worked well, and you are a little
chilled. Also, of course, in my head swept live music, a quiet and unobtrusive that you then heard. To all,
to hear the name of reason - that immediately improve your mood. Because then, 5 years ago, this
restaurant is your current overseas husband made you an offer.

All this is because the visual memory is not working alone. To it is added, and the auditory, olfactory,
tactile, emotional. The picture is complemented by the results of the senses, thus forming a more
complete, the finished image, filled with a lot of information.
 4. How to improve visual memory?
Visual memory training can significantly improve a person's capabilities as a whole. Education, work,
everyday life ... will be nothing but a plus in each of the areas. Man is able to more deeply perceive objects
around, so it becomes more attentive, focused.

How to develop visual memory? There are many ways. For example, you can find on the internet special
games - simulators. Most of them is the same idea. You for a certain period of time are displayed various
objects - pictures, facial features, etc., after which the image disappear and offers to recall that the
sequence in which it was shown.
6 exercises for the development of visual
memory
Mixing things up unfamiliar people, because they do not remember their faces? Unable to keep in mind
how to spell the word "palliative"? I did not manage to capture the underground circuit in the memory,
and you and then choose the wrong move? Obey in all things visual memory!

Visual memory - an important gift that some have developed from nature, while others work to muddle
through. But do not despair: Like most skills, it is quite amenable to training with exercise system.
Exercise 1. Break up the image into separate elements
Some remember easier than the whole - if you find it difficult to capture in the memory circuit or an
image, you can split it into several elements, and remember each of them. Note that this principle has long
been used in teaching a variety of tasks that require visual memory. For example, students learning
Chinese characters commonly complain that they can not even remember how to spell one or another of
them. However, this only occurs as long as they do not possess a specific set of so-called "key" and
"Phonetics". Both categories include a limited number of graphic signs, which make up a large part of the
Chinese characters. Bringing tens of thousands of characters to a couple hundred keys and phonetics,
students begin to memorize written signs much faster. The same principle is also suitable for storing the
majority of subjects with a standard structure. You can capture in the head person's appearance, listing in
the mind first category of clothing, which is currently on it - for example, "jacket, jeans, sneakers," and
then subjected to the same analysis of each garment, "white sneakers with three longitudinal blue stripes,
gray laces "and the like.
Exercise 2: Solve puzzles to care
What seems like child's play, actually - a powerful training for visual memory? The different arrangement
of the triangles on the cup from which you drink hero image? Comparing the two pictures, which do not
significantly differ from each other, your brain learns to attention to detail. Which of the items is the
closest, but what next? In answering this question, it trains your brain's ability to build a geometric
perspective. In what order were things that needed to remember? This type of puzzles uses the part of
visual memory, which is relevant to the correct perception of space and composition.
Exercise 3: Develop synesthesia
How sound is the building? And what is the taste of this shade of color? This is more than just a game: by
linking visual elements with certain sounds, smells, tactile sensations, you are forcing the brain to create
complex associations that will help him to find in memory the information you need. Synesthesia allows
visual images deeper "root" in the brain, since it makes use of the structure to activate the other one a
touch nervous system structures. Note that the ability to perceive the same things using different sensory
systems have long been used in daily life precisely in order to facilitate us to memorize: For example, most
people find it easier to remember metro line by their color rather than the official name, and it is for the
sake of the subway map at the time we began to make not just a color, namely, the same, the "traditional"
colors for each branch. Developing synesthesia, and you strengthen your ability to be creative - we know
that this talent is often owned by gifted musicians, writers and artists.
Exercise 4. Draw irregular patterns
Worst of all those stored images and objects that do not have a clear logic. There are people who are well
oriented in New York or St. Petersburg, but lost in Moscow or Madrid because of the fact that the latter
lacks a regular city plan. Here's another exercise that will perform better since childhood - too powerful
influence it has on the development of visual memory. Take a piece of stone with irregular patterns of
veins (it is unlikely that you have on hand will be a piece of marble or malachite, but you can use a
detailed picture of these minerals or chipped usual kibble) and try to sketch it with colored pencils on
paper. You will see how this is no easy task: every two lanes will be its shape, length and thickness, color
shades. We'll have to work hard. When the draw, clean and original, and the drawing - and now try to
draw the stone surface from memory. Take your time - if the first image memory will be far from perfect,
repeat the exercise several times.
Exercise 5. Memorize the image as a sequence of words
Many people that brings visual memory, has an excellent ability to memorize words. This exercise is not
only built on the already mastered our ability to break the whole picture to the elements, but also on our
brain's ability to substitute objects symbols. If you can not remember the person nodding acquaintance,
try to remember it as a verbal description, and most detailed, "He has blue, with dark dots and red-veined
eyes. His nose is slightly snub, it can be seen a few freckles. His lips were chapped and red. " Verbalization
allow the pack escape the visual memory of the details in boxes verbal descriptions. When you learn these
phrases and begin to pronounce them, your brain will inevitably pose of the face, which correspond to
these definitions - and, as you will notice, it will be easier to restore in the memory the image of a real
person's face, rather than coming up with abstract images under these descriptions.
Exercise 6. The most common items and remember the details of
the entourage
The brain does not remember the details, if you do not put them in front of such a problem. After talking
with a friend you met on the street, and continuing to go its own way, try to remember: what was he
wearing? What gestures did in the conversation? How he looked the street behind him - if there were, for
example, the bench, and if so, how many they were and how they were? Forcing the brain to look for
answers to these questions, you train the mechanisms of access to its own memory, and along with the
attention to detail, because the brain are accustomed rather quickly on these random meetings to
celebrate what looks like the source and in what scenery there is a conversation with him. However,
beware of false memories - go back and verify that: instead of whether the brain of some element of the
entourage, which you invented vainly tried to get away from it?
Despite the fact that up to 80% of all information we perceive through sight, but not all people use all of
its features. Trained visual memory significantly expands the possibilities of man, giving him the kind of a
head start in learning, work, and just in everyday life. Trained visual memory allows a much broader look
at any object that makes a person more alert and focused.
Part V – Unlimited Concentration
Attention - this ability to focus on a particular human occupation, as well as to keep certain information in
the reserves of short-term memory. If this property has a certain disorders, the person becomes diffused
and uncollected.

Warning - this is one of the most important characteristics of human mental activity. By its nature, it can
have the following types:

arbitrary - it is a conscious and deliberate focus on any object or action that are associated with
interest, profession, education or other required;
involuntary - arises unconsciously, due to any unusual event or the release to the new
environment;
arbitrary- occurs automatically when the concentration on any object occurs at regular intervals
(work, studies, etc.).

Speaking about the kinds of concentration, we can say that they are completely duplicate the
classification, which is shown above.

How to develop concentration

Watching a child growing up process, we can conclude that the focus is becoming more severe with age.
Based on years of research and were made up of regulations that determine the duration of school lessons
and university and later steam. Nevertheless, even after reaching a certain age, some individuals can be
difficult for a long time to focus and maintain attention on the same object or class. In this case, the
concentration of attention development will require some effort on the part of teachers (in the case of a
child), and on the part of the subject (in the case of an adult human).

Improved ability to concentrate is achieved by means of continuous and diligent training. Attention in
children is most often produced by itself. Even those children who are initially quite difficult to get used to
long and monotonous occupations, eventually get used to it. The educational process aims to completing
education; the man was ready to work not only in terms of basic knowledge, but also in terms of self-
discipline. If, however, with age a person does not acquire these skills, it is necessary to resort to training
through special exercises.

Keep a notebook or a piece of paper on which to write your current action. Every time you're on
something distracted, this tip will help you get back on track.
Choose for a quiet place for you to be out of reach noises. If you work at home or in a crowded
office, then there is nothing wrong to use earplugs.
Your table should be only the most necessary items to work. Remove anything that might distract
you - souvenirs, photos and so on.
The pledge of effective work - a feeling of comfort and well-being. Your workplace should be
equipped with comfortable furniture, as well as in a well-lit and ventilated room with a
comfortable temperature. Also do not forget that the body is constantly in need of food and liquid
nourishment.
Always compile a list of tasks that you need to perform. It is important no matter what
distractions are not, and most importantly - do not delay started to sweat.
 1. Attention exercises
Sometimes in the course of their professional, artistic or household activities, people find a distraction
and restlessness. In this case, there is a need for a training and properties such as concentration. The
exercises offered by psychologists, allow to develop the necessary qualities:

For the first exercise, you will need a pencil and a sheet of paper. Begin to lead the line, trying to
concentrate on it all your attention. When you realize that distracted, draw a zigzag. You will have
a figure, something resembling a cardiogram, which will help you to assess whether you have
been scattered.
If you have to go a long time on the bus or you're standing in line, spend time with benefits.
Choose for yourself any object (poster, window, door, etc.), set the timer set time (enough to start
would be a couple of minutes) and try to look and think about it exactly as long until you hear the
alarm. Every time you manage to fulfill this task, even for a second without interruption, increase
the time period.
Often, reading a book (even a very interesting), we are distracted by extraneous thoughts and
reflections. So always, keep with them a pencil. Seeing that you are thinking about something
else, except for the plot, place a mark in the margin opposite the place where you have finished
reading conscious. In addition, the finished page, mentally repeat its contents.
 2. Tests to determine the concentration
Concentration and attention to sustainability - it is important not only for the characteristics of
professional activity, but also in other spheres of human life. In order to assess these characteristics,
psychologists have developed special tests, which are used for the interview in the majors. Also, they can
go on their own to determine their degree of concentration:

Münsterberg test to determine the level of care. The subject is given a sheet of paper on which is
printed without any spaces the set of letters, which include chaotic combination. For two
minutes, the person should find them all and to underline in pencil, then the result is compared
with the correct answer.
Shule test is a table size of 5 * 5, in which the cells are placed figures in a chaotic manner the
values from 1 to 25. The test should be in the shortest possible period of said sequence for each of
them. At the same time, it is prohibited from making any whatsoever notes. Results are evaluated
on the basis of time spent on the job.
Test "10 words" assumes that the subject read out a certain sequence of words. They are not
connected nor in meaning, or grammatically. Next, the individual will be asked to reproduce the
data words. The sequence of them at the same time does not really matter.
 3. Attention training
Training concentration - it is an objective necessity for those who want to work effectively, without being
distracted by extraneous classes. To do this, perfectly suited the following techniques that can be used in
between the performance of their duties:

Learn to relax. To do this, set the timer for 5 minutes and take a comfortable position (sitting or
lying). During this time, your body does not produce any movement (even involuntary). If you
experience this success, then gradually increase the period of the useful rest.
Sit up straight and stretch your arm to the side. Turn your head and look at her fingers for a
minute. At the same time in your mind should be absolutely no extraneous thoughts.
Fill a glass with water almost to the brim. Pull the arm with the vessel forward and concentrate
their attention on it. Your task - not to spill the water for a minute.

The above training method can’t only improve concentration, but also to balance the nervous system.
 4. Charging for the brain
The high concentration of attention - is the result of active work of the brain. Just as the body needs the
morning exercises, such as the need to have and the human mind. Going to work in the morning, or while
in transport, perform the following set of exercises:

Count from one to 100 and back (with time the problem will be more difficult, pronouncing, for
example, only the even numbers, or those that are divisible by three).
Select at random any letter of the alphabet and remember all the words that start with it (if you
speak a foreign language, you can take advantage of this, performing the task, and you can also
set limits on the parts of speech).
Do not hesitate to call the 20 names (further complicate the task, choosing only male or female).
Select any letter of the alphabet, which you will need to name the male and female first name,
town, animal, bird, and the product (this is not just a good exercise for the mind, but also a great
idea to usefully spend time with the child).

Note that all of the exercises to be performed as quickly as possible, do not hesitate too long.
 5. Physiological aspects
Attention is not always connected with the mental capabilities of man and his psychological features. The
important role played by the physiological component of this issue. That is why improving attention span
is inseparably connected with the normalization of lifestyle and daily routine:

Make it a rule to get restful sleep. If you go to sleep late and get up early, then it is unlikely you
will be able to give all the best at 100% in their mental and artistic activities. Let 8-hour rest will
be your immutable rule.
Pay attention to your diet. Try to include in his complex carbohydrates that are slowly
transformed, constantly feeding the body in general and the brain in particular. Also, before a day
of work is required to drink a cup of coffee or eat a little dark chocolate.
Make time for activities that bring you pleasure. It could be a walk, shopping, hobby, fitness,
watching movies, listening to music, and more. Positive emotions contribute to the development
of the hormone dopamine, which has a beneficial effect on attention.
If none of these methods has not had a proper influence on the process of concentration, it is
necessary to consult a doctor, who can recommend specific drugs.
 6. Helpful hints
Development focus is possible not only by means of special exercises or techniques, but also through
continuous self-monitoring. Thus, to wean himself biting his nails, pounding on the table, actively
gesticulating or stir feet while sitting.

An important step on the way to the high concentration - a finding emotional balance. Try to protect
yourself from negativity and stress, as well as plenty of rest. Make it a rule to listen to quiet instrumental
music. Also, surround yourself with objects of those colors that are beneficial to the nervous system and
emotional state (e.g., green and blue). Also, try not to watch TV, which carry a negative connotation.

For the quality of mental work is necessary to develop both hemispheres of the brain. For this very useful
to periodically change hands when performing any everyday tasks. So, taking a toothbrush or a spoon in
his left hand (and left-handed - in the right), you call the activity of those brain areas that have not
previously been involved.
Conclusion
Speaking of memory training, it is important to understand that directly train the specific ability to
memorize the material is virtually impossible. Memory is always evolving in close connection with our
attention, perception, thinking, sense organs and other phenomena of human nature. Therefore, most of
the above exercises produce a complex effect on our thinking and on our memory as an important part of
thinking.
