Improving memory can be achieved through specific practices. If you ask Google, it will offer a bunch of medications as a solution. No, thank you! I won’t consume anything like that without consulting a doctor first!

Strategies like active repetition, using mnemonic devices, organizing information into categories and associations, and practicing information recall can help strengthen memory and improve long-term retention.

Each of the four strategies mentioned is well-founded and can significantly contribute to memory improvement. Here’s a brief description of each of these four strategies:
