What do you mean when people say that I am special and will remember you deeply?

"Meaning is better than detail"

Many people should have had this experience. They can remember other people's faces, but they can't remember their names, or they just don't match their names. Why is this? The reason is that for the brain, meaning is important, and details are not important. Compared with details such as names, those who can give themselves different feelings, who can give themselves different feelings in communication, live longer in their minds.

From the memory mechanism of the brain, long-term memory is mainly stored in the form of semantics. In other words, after a long time, all we can think of is their meanings, not specific descriptions. Some research teams have done experiments. They asked some people to describe to them the significance and details of an important project. As a result, most people can see the importance, but it is difficult to tell the details of that item. Some people even say the color is wrong.

Therefore, it is more memorable to give each other a warm and decent social experience than to show their intelligence.

"Name is not as good as occupation"

There is a study in Britain, which mainly studies the memory of business card information. The researchers set up some fictitious information, including name, occupation, hobbies and hometown. They gave the information to the subjects to remember and take the exam later. As a result, 69% people remembered the occupation of fictional characters. The second place to be remembered is hobbies, accounting for 68%. The third is hometown, and the last is name. Only 3 1% people can remember this name.

In other studies, there are similar conclusions. It is easier for people to remember that a person is a baker or a DJ, but it is difficult to remember a name called Baker. In a sense, this phenomenon is not difficult to understand. Other people's names mean little to us. Baker makes it easier for me to think of food, and DJ makes it easier for me to think of music. Are closely related to our lives. Therefore, trying to make your career introduction more eye-catching is more impressive than trying to explain your name.

"One word difference"

When calling other people's names, we usually make two kinds of mistakes: one is to call other people's names wrong because of "one word difference"; The other is to remember only part of the other person's name.

The source of this deviation is still related to meaning. Research shows that when the brain remembers other people's names, it will unconsciously associate them, that is, make a single association with something meaningful to us. Especially when you meet someone suddenly, your brain will panic, and you may directly substitute those words in an emergency.

I hope my name can be remembered and my mispronunciations will be reduced. The best way is to "annotate" the name twice, and through the association with celebrities, scenic spots, major events and dish names, help the other party reduce the memory blind spot through two memory points.
