Sharpen your own memory
迅速提高记忆力
Location is key
位置是关键
Quite a common experience is for context to mess with memory in quite a severe way. For instance, you're in the kitchen, and you think "I must get my raincoat from the bedroom" and you head upstairs. Once there, you can't remember what you came for. You return downstairs, and immediately remember. You head upstairs, and again can't remember what you were looking for. I'm a memory champion, and I've been known to do three loops of such nonsense. The trick is to imagine what you're looking for in the location you're headed to. That way the new context will contain the memory of what you were looking for.
在某种情景下记忆力严重混乱是一个非常普遍的体验。比如,你在厨房,想着“我要到卧室里拿雨衣”,然后你上了楼。可以一到那儿,你就记不起来你为什么上来了。你转头下了楼梯,突然之间你又记起来了。你又上楼,接着你又记不起来你到底要找什么了。虽然我是个记忆冠军,我也曾体验过这种白痴似的三次循环。办法就是你得想象你到你要去的那个位置到底找什么。如此一来,新的情景中就会包含你在寻找何物的记忆。
