How can you remember what you read and is there a system to help you concentrate better?

Some people prefer to highlight or underline what they consider to be key words in the sentences they read. For example: "How can you remember what you read? Is there a system to concentrate better?" Other people prefer reading in a very very silent environment so as not to be distracted by noises or disturbed by others. But the silent environment does not guarantee that you will remember what you read. Others prefer reading "pencil in hand". This ususally means that whenever they come across something worth remembering they immediately write it down in a notebook or on a piece of paper. I have tried all methods. So far the best way to remember things is to teach them. Try telling somebody about what you are reading. Unless the information is clear to you, you will not be able to tell anything. Teaching forces you to remember all the necessary details, to give a clear presentation and, consequently, to remember better.

Do people remember what they hear or what they see better?

Memory is a function of the brain, and no two persons nor two brains are alike. They think differently, act differently, react to stimuli differently and they also learn and remember things differently, so there is no final answer to this question really. Some persons find it easier to remember what they hear while others find it easier to remember what they see. The lucky few can remember both what they hear and see very well and many of us forget almost anything just too fast.

What is the word for people who think they are better than others?

"Arrogant" or "delusional" (if the person is NOT actually better than others). Keep in mind, some people ARE better than others (i.e. more talented/skillful/knowledgeable/etc). In those cases, they aren't 'arrogant' or "delusional" they are just 'better' than others.


Why do people memorize printing better in cursive than in regular printing?

There have been no studies that showed this to be true. Most people memorize better if the words are printed plainly and are easy to read instead of being in cursive. If you mean that they memorize better when they write the information out, then that is because every time you write something, you remember a little more of it. Write it out at least 20 times in order to really remember it!
