Hello. This is a programme from the BBC Learning（学习） English Archive（档案馆）. It was first broadcast（广播） in January 2007 on the BBC Learning（学习） English website. We do hope you enjoy it. BBC Learning English dot（点） com. Hello, welcome to We Kendre.

  My name's, erm, oh, my name's, oh dear, what was it again? Oh yes, Jackie Dalton. Today's topic is memory（记忆） and the programme will hopefully provide（提供） you with some helpful（给予帮助的） study tips when it comes to memorising information. We'll do this with the help of Andrew Mays. He's a cognitive（认知的） neuroscientist at the University of Manchester in the UK. What's his tip（小费 v.给....小费） for how to learn things that you need to remember?

  The best way to learn it is to space your learning. So you don't say, 'I've got to learn this'. So sit down and spend about 10 hours trying to put it into your head in a sort（种类） of mass（块） practice fashion（样子）. Andrew's tip for effective（有效的） learning（学习） is to space it out. Don't try and learn a lot in one go（去）. Why is this?

  What you do is you process（加工） certain（确实的） parts of it on one day and then you come back to it the following day or a few days later and learn it again. And then you do that again and again. And this is much more efficient（效率高的）. With much less（更少地） time spent on the learning（学习）, you can get up to very high levels（水平面） of memory（记忆） performance（履行）. And furthermore（而且）, it survives（幸免于） over long periods of time much better than if you learn it all in one go（去）. Andrew talks about processing information, which means organising（ 组织） it, taking the information in and putting it in the right place, processing information.
