Every day can happen to forget where we left the key, what time is our meeting, when to pick up the child, etc. These situations remind us hard, that our memory is not perfect. Human ability to remember has caused more interest in Ancient Greece, where he was honored Mnemosyne - Goddess of memory. In ancient philosophy, the memory is interpreted as a gift, people close to the world of the divine - Plato thought it was a basic ability of the soul. The memory must treat carefully, experts advised today. It can be as capricious and compliant response time. Laws of memory:
1. Memory should not be practiced as well as the muscles are trained. Meaningless “learning” material does not build a habit to learn easier and faster. Systematic mental exercises can allow a deeper insight into the nature of the facts easier to get acquainted. They foster the emergence of rational behavior for remembering and recalling. Even in mature and older age can achieve improvement of memory, if used wisely proves its subjective.
2. It is necessary to obtain a quick, accurate and clear impression of what needs to be remembered.
3. Since the impressions are directly related to imagination, it all ways, making it possible to develop imagination and figurative thinking, may prove useful for remembering.
4. Relatively common events in life that make a particularly strong impression can remember right now and stand in the mind very clearly and distinctly, even after many years. More complex and less interesting events one can experience dozens of times, but they are not sealed in memory for a long time.
5. By concentrating attention on the event, once experienced, later in the required sequence can be reproduced from memory, its main points.

11. For situations remains in our memory vivid emotional track, I think more than emotionally neutral situations. Positive emotions such as rule help remembering a negative hinder it.
12. If at the time of remembering, a man is in high or low mood, the artificial reconstruction of the emotional state it helps remembering.
13. Visual impression is strongest. But complex impression ie those obtained by using more sensory organs, allowing the material to seal even better in the mind. Some such as read aloud, so that perception is both visual and auditory.
