Do you have a good memory? Can you remember English words you leant last week? Or have you forgotten the deadline of your project? Many of us often say" My brain doesn't work well". Maybe you can try a new way of training your brain-—Learn with your team members.
"Teamwork makes our brains work better. "The memory expert, Jonathan Hancock said，"Being part of a team has many advantages for remembering things. "In his memory research，he finds that the participants(参与者) in ate am always behave better than people who work independently. That's because they have less personal pressure，more time to think over each question.
But there's even more going on according to Canadian researchers，who've shown that our brains get a natural improvement when they've got company(陪伴). Their study suggests two reasons. First, when we 're with people who are trying to remember something，we can easily feel that tip-of-the-tongue feeling, so we also want to join in to challenge ourselves. Second, after knowing others can remember things well, we can be encouraged to make it too.
To make better use of the power of team learning. you can use the contagion(传染效应) to awaken and improve memories. For example，go over new words together with your partners. Believe it or not，you'll be amazed at your magic memory. Also，you can share the duty together. If you have many tasks to remember，ask your partner to remember the date of school play while you 're in charge of remembering project deadline. In this way, both of you will remember things more easily and deeply.
