FAST MEMORIZATION METHOD
(Use Specifically for Memorizing the Brain Science Facts and Ideas or Any Other Things!)
The "spaced-repetition" recitation memorization method is the easiest to understand and the fastest to apply for remembering essential facts and ideas about your brain and its relationship to your body. The highlighted bold and red key words in each essay can help you select the most important brain science keywords to remember in your long-term memory. This method involves using the "spaced-repetition" technique until the key words are part of your brain tissue due to the simple process of repetition in different word formats in different periods of time and even in different social environments!

This fast memorization method is the most reliable way to "train your brain" since it organizes millions of neurons and synapses to respond from memory in a predictable way when you think of certain ideas. This process works to a limited extent even for people with symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's diseases since it can increase their ability to focus and organize their memories into logical ideas.
The recitation memorization method features "conscious feedback" as the key ingredient for memorizing any fact or idea. It is started automatically when you decide to remember certain facts or ideas and it is improved when you take written notes of things you want to remember later. You can use the same method to study the highlighted red and black keywords as you read each of the six Essay-Sets on this website or the outlines and summaries of the books and articles cited.
To repeat, you can remember any fact or idea by carefully planning regular exposures to it in a scheduled way over a period of time. High school and college students do this whenever they prepare for examinations. By deciding to repeat a keyword from this website on a scheduled basis, either from recall or written notes, you will be making "memory notes" on your brain tissue for retrieval when you need them. You will be transfering brain facts and ideas from your short-term memory resources to your working memory and long-term memory resources by strengthening the neuronal connections!
In addition, the concept of the "learning curve" has been fully researched for many years. It explains how you can forget or "extinguish" an idea very quickly if other ideas compete for your conscious attention, if you do not deliberately expose yourself to the target idea within a measured amount of minutes or hours or days. This fact is associated with another fact, namely, that you have both short-term working memory resources in your brain and also long-term memory resources, which use different parts of your brain to store your memories.

By studying those outlines and summaries, you will be able to rapidly learn more about the reasonable commonsense values and self-evident humanistic assumptions of the Self-Liberation Philosophy. Then you can decide how similar or different it is from your own current way of choosing your own lifestyle values. You can make a little check or plus mark (+) by the words and phrases that denote or connote the same meanings that you already understand and with which you agree.
You can do this with the expectation that these particular keywords and phrases will mean more to you when they are understood in your unique personal and social contexts later on. If you do not understand the meaning of a highlighted keyword or phrase on your study list, then put a question mark [?] after each highlighted keyword or phrase. This act itself is a memory aid since the question mark symbol is a signal to your brain to watch for a definition or explanation of the word.
Also do the same thing with all other words or phrases in the essays and supporting references even if they are not highlighted red or bold, if they help you understand how to appreciate and use your brain better. Simply relax and accept that it will be explained later on as you get a more complete understanding of the connections or associations of facts and ideas on this website. Or do your own additional research from other sources of information.
This systematic recitation process, however, can save you a lot of time and pay dividends mentally and emotionally whenever you want to read to remember the important facts and ideas. Simply commit yourself to remembering the "associations" of facts and ideas and why those facts and ideas are essential for conveying or facilitating new meanings about your new self-awareness or consciousness of your SELF.
You are responsible for the quality of your own memorization process and you are free to relate the keywords of any part of the Self-Liberation Philosophy or the Evolutionary Brainpower Mindset to your own philosophy of life and strategy for achieving lifelong happiness and success.
