Doing something actively whilst try to take in new information and then keep it there is widely thought to be much more effective that listening on its own. This additional activity serves as a ‘fixing agent’ and we have a higher chance of remembering the information .

This could be:1. Taking notes of key words2. Organising the material by finding patterns3. Putting the key pieces of information into a story4. Repeating the key words in a distinctive way to yourself5. Making anagrams yourself of the key words and making yourself work them out again

The KEY is ELABORATION – making your brain work the knowledge – training the memory muscle

Elephants eat 72 to 158 kilograms of food each day. Baby elephants, called calves, weigh around 90 kilograms at birth. Elephant tusks are made of dentine, calcium and salt. The average lifespan of an elephant is 80 years. Elephants use more than 70 voice signals and 160 visual signals for daily communication. Elephants have the largest brains by mass of all mammals, weighing in at a hefty 10.5 pounds (4.7 kilograms) for an adult
