Repetition Doesn’t Work: Better Ways to Train Your Memory

比重复更有效的记忆方法

A team of scientists recently discovered that repetition is a terrible way to memorize information—and their findings highlight much better strategies.

一组科学家最近发现重复记忆信息的方式是一种很糟的记忆方式，新的记忆方式强调从策略上找出更好的记忆方式。

A new study published in Learning and Memory found that simple repetition interferes with the ability to learn new information, especially when it is similar to a set of familiar facts. This may mean that memorizing facts about an issue through repetition could interfere with the ability to remember a more nuanced version of the same issue later on.

一项新的研究发现发表在《学习和记忆》杂志上，简单的重复性记忆方式干扰学习新信息的能力，尤其是记忆一组类似熟悉的事实。通过反复重复的方式记住的东西可能会干扰对同一问题的更加具体版本的记忆能力。

In study, subjects said a list of objects either one or three times. Later on, in the recall phase, another set of similar objects ("lures") was snuck in. Those who had seen objects multiple times better recalled the original objects but had a harder time distinguishing the lures. In other words, their memories were stronger but less precise. Over the long run, repetition can be a false temptress, making us think we've learning something when we really haven't.
