Short Term Memory Training - Improving a Child's Memory

Make anything into a game and just about any kid will enjoy it - even learning. By making exercises fun and interesting, children will be eager to learn, and an added bonus is that the information they are processing during the game will get stored in their brain.

The same theory works for improving a child's short term memory. Turn a memory exercise into a game, and they'll be happy to play, not even realizing that they're ingraining information in their brain.

The Memory Game - Many of us have attempted such versions of this card game, 'Memory'. Put the cards face down and flip it over, two at a time. If they match, they remain face up, and you continue. Should the cards be different, they will be covered once more and the next player gets to try his hand.

This game is a great example of training yourself to remember something ' in this case, in order to win the game. When it is repeated consistently, it is useful as it improves your short term memory. Children will happily play this game, never realizing they are improving their short term memory. You can decide to use the normal playing cards, or unique deck of cards from toy shops, or even make your own deck containing knowledge you want them to absorb. Soon, you'll notice an improvement in their short term memory when the children begin picking the correct cards almost all the time.

Auditory Cues - Simple games can also help children enhance their auditory short term memory. Again, by making the exercise into a game, children will improve their short term memory without even noticing that they're learning.

You can read off a list of items such as colors or objects and make it into a game. Read the list to the young and then get them to recall and pen the list down, in the order that you read it. You can add to the number of items whenever you play this. Given some time, the young will be able to recall the items in the correct sequence easily. Such games are effective in improving short term memory in the young and they are also interesting, and can be played anytime, at any place without much hassle.

When putting him through the exercises, by having positive reinforcements, it will motivate your child. A child will instinctively try harder to win a game when they know there is a reward involved.

Stickers, stamps and small prizes are all inexpensive, but effective, in encouraging children to play games that increase short term memory. When children pit themselves against other children, such positive rivalry can help improve short term memory.
