If you like trivia, you know that, sooner or later, it comes down to memory instead of knowledge. Sure, you might know all the animals for which the Chinese New Years are named. But can you remember them when it comes up in a trivia game?
Before offering our tips, we need to tell you how memory works.
To keep ourselves from going insane, our brain has two types of memory. We don't need to remember most things we experience past about five minutes, so we store them in our short-term memory (aka the working memory). But after an hour, two thirds of our short-term memory is gone and 90 percent of it is gone in 24 hours. So the trick is to move things from the short-term in-basket to long-term filing cabinets.
Nobody really knows where your memories are stored, but they could be stored as neural pathways. In other words, a memory hooks up synapses to neurons in certain ways, and the more practiced you are at that particular memory hookup, the better you remember.
Moreover, you have different types of long-term memory: episodic memories are the photo album of your mind, recalling your own experiences; procedural memory is your memory of how you do things, like tying a shoelace; and semantic memory is, basically, your knowledge of trivia.
On this page, we show you how to turn short-term memories into semantic memories.
