Teknik Praktis Menghapal

Teknik Menghapal Cepat

Apa itu teknik menghapal cepat?Teknik menghapal cepat adalah suatu cara untuk memasukkan informasi ke dalam otak (menghapal) dengan melibatkan otak kanan

A. OTAK MANUSIA. Menurut Roger Sperry otak manusia yang digunakan untuk berpikir dibagi menjadi dua belahan, yaitu otak kiri dan otak kanan.


Berdasarkan sifatnya, otak kiri bersifat short term memory (ingatan jangka pendek) dan otak kanan bersifat long term memory (ingatan jangka panjang)

B. TEKNIK MENGHAPAL CEPAT1. Memory SportPerlu kita ketahui bahwa otak manusia sama halnya dengan otot. Apabila otot tidak diolahragakan, maka otot akan lemah, tetapi sebaliknya bila diolahragakan akan kuat. Begitu juga dengan otak. Otak akan lemah bila tidak diolahragakan, dan akan kuat bila diolahragakan. Maka itu kita perlu mengolahragakan otak kita.
Salah satu cara utk mengolahragakan otak kita adalah melalui memory sport.

Langkah - langkah memory sport;
1. Menyiapkan tempat dengan menggunakan site sistem
2. Menyiapkan kata - kata yang akan diingat
3. Menyimpan kata - kata tersebut pada tempat yg tlh ditetapkan
4. Memanggil kata - kata yg tlh disimpan berdasarkan langkah ke-3

Alokasi wkt utk mengingat adlh 2 menit. Bila anda sudah bisa mengingat 25 kata dalam waktu 2 menit, maka konsentrasi anda telah meningkat. lakukanlah memory sport ini setiap hari, maka anda akan mendapatkan manfaat yang luar biasa

2. Site SistemAdalah suatu teknik menyimpan informasi secara teratur dg cara menempatkan informasi yg akan kita ingat (hafal) pada tempat - tempat yg tlh ditetapkan
cara membuat site sistem;
1. Tempat harus yg sudah dikenal oleh kita
2. Tempat harus dpt dilihat dg jelas
3. Tempat dibagi menjadi beberapa area
4. Tempat harus bisa dibayangkan

3. Relation SistemAdalah suatu teknik utk mengingat informasi dg cara menghubungkan informasi yang satu dengan informasi yg lainnya dg aksi. Relation sistem dipakai utk menghapal yg berpasangan seperti vocabulary, nama negara dan ibu kotanya, nama sungai dan provinsinya, dsbg

Contoh penggunaan aksi dalam relation sistem;
Uang masuk kedalam kipas
Roda menabrak ember
Kucing makan rujak

Masuk kedalam, menabrak, dan makan adalah aksinya. Aksi tsbt adalah sbg klu / pemicu utk menarik informasi yg ada didepannya, sehingga informasi yg ada didepannya tidak lupa

4. Story SistemAdalah teknik utk mengingat informasi dg cara menghubungkan informasi yg satu dg informasi yg lainnya menjadi sebuah cerita
Contoh;
Burung - baju - awan - coca cola - gunung - kelinci - pistol - buaya - pohon - kawah

Cara menghapal;
Bayangkan!
Burung memakai baju terbang ke awan minum coca cola terbang lagi ke gunung ketemu kelinci yang membawa pistol utk menembak buaya yg tidur dibawah pohon di dekat kawah
5. Mnemonic
Adalah teknik menghapal yg bersifat abstrak dg cara mengubah kata abstrak tsbt menjadi benda konkrit yg bisa dibayangkan
Mnemonic dibagi menjadi 2, yaitu;
1. Sistem gambaran adalah suatu teknik menghapal informasi yg abstrak dg cara menggambarkan kata abstrak tsbt menjadi sesuatu yg konkrit. utk menggambarkannya bisa dg kegiatan, sesuatu yg terkenal seperti orang, makanan, dll.

contoh:
Gembira digambarkan dg org yg sedang bergembira
Jogya digambarkan dg Borobudur
Jakarta digambarkan menjadi monas

2. Sistem persamaan bunyi, adalah suatu teknik utk menghapal informasi berdasarkan persamaan bunyinya

Contoh :
Singapura menjadi singa
Irak menjadi rak

Imbas Gempa Jepang Terhadap Perekonomian Global

VIVAnews – Perusahaan-perusahaan yang beroperasi di Jepang mulai menaksir kerugian yang mereka alami, pasca gempa dan tsunami yang mengguncang bagian timur laut negeri itu.
Segera sesudah gempa, sebagian besar perusahaan di Jepang mengevakuasi karyawan dan menutup pabrik-pabriknya.  Adanya pegawai yang terluka dan kerusakan pada pabrik telah dilaporkan.  Tapi belum diketahui dampak gempa pada berbagai jaringan distribusi barang.

Seperti dikutip dari International Herald Tribune, dampak gempa bumi pada perekonomian Jepang masih belum jelas.  “Masih membutuhkan waktu yang panjang agar sistem transportasi dan distribusi dapat bekerja normal,” kata Masaaki Kanno, analis JP Morgan Sekuritas yang berkantor di Tokyo.
Menurutnya, gempa Jepang menjadi pukulan berat bagi bisnis di negeri sakura tersebut, terutama di daerah-daerah yang terkena imbas paling parah

Janet Hunter, dosen Perekonomian Jepang di London School of Economics, mengatakan bahwa hampir semua infrastruktur yang berada di jalur tsunami, harus dibangun lagi dari nol, termasuk jembatan, jalan, dan rel kereta api.  Gangguan apapun pada sektor manufaktur Jepang sudah pasti akan berimbas pada perekonomian negara itu yang telah mengalami stagnasi selama dua dekade terakhir ini.

Perusahaan kargo melaporkan bahwa pelabuhan-pelabuhan utama Jepang tutup, meskipun penutupan itu lebih sebagai tindakan pencegahan.  Pelabuhan-pelabuhan utama Jepang yang sebagian besar berada di selatan Tokyo, memainkan peran penting untuk mendorong ekspor Jepang.

Ekspor Jepang – kebanyakan terdiri dari mobil, mesin, dan barang-barang buatan pabrik – meningkat sekitar 25 persen pada tahun 2010.  Ini adalah peningkatan pertama selama tiga tahun terakhir.  Dengan demikian, penutupan pelabuhan dalam jangka waktu yang lama akan mengakibatkan penundaan pengiriman barang ekspor, dan menimbulkan instabilitas pada jaringan suplai global.

Carl Weinberg, Kepala Ekonom High Frequency Economics, perusahaan riset yang berbasis di New York, menyatakan bahwa kerusakan pada negara dengan perekonomian terbesar ketiga di dunia itu akan memiliki konsekuensi lebih besar dari yang dibayangkan.

“Tidak ada cara untuk menaksir secara tepat kerugian perekonomian Jepang dan perekonomian global akibat bencana ini.  Guncangan pada perekonomian Jepang akan berdampak pada orang-orang dan bisnis apapun, di manapun mereka berada – apakah di Jepang atau New York,” kata Weinberg.

Bank sentral Jepang, dalam situsnya, mengatakan bahwa mereka akan terus menghitung kemungkinan kerugian pada operasi-operasi finansial.  Mereka menegaskan, siap untuk mengambil tindakan apabila diperlukan.
