why our brains can form arbitrary memories from seemingly random events and recall them perfectly but its hard to memorize something when you are intentionally trying to memorize it?
In: Biology
Maybe because you’re using all your capacity at once to recall that single detail and because it is a modicum of what could surely be an interwoven and intricate mixture of other small, mighty but necessary details that require you to sift thru to be precise or better yet definitive if you could be worth a little salt in that regard. Now in contrast with recalling memories it’s easier to get to that specific little thing because you already have every aspect of the picture in mind enough to go back and live in it so it’s easier to grasp a tid bit when it’s been reckoned forth quite often, especially if an important anecdote all the more. Memorizing is easy when we help the mind grasp a form that it can knowingly accept to tabulate and compile this necessary information. The quickest and easiest way to do this is form a list of the items in alphabetical order. After repetitively reciting the list you will knowingly recall each thing much more quickly than most I’m quite certain. There are lots who don’t have patience to sit and organize a list that way but being a server I’ve had to crunch liquor lists like a champ to get at the bar and handle my business. So yeah.
