Recalling the main elements of a text<\/h3>\n
\n\t

Recall consists of retelling in your own words the elements of a text you have read, by recreating the information you consider important. It is an exercise through which the reader or listener is led to recall either the characteristics of a word, an extract or a text, but in the absence of the latter (Legendre, 2005). Certain factors help your memory function, such as getting enough sleep to optimise your capacity to concentrate and eating the right diet to stay intellectually alert (Bragdon and Gamon, 2006). Conversely, other factors can impair your capacity to concentrate and remember, such as stress, so it is important to reduce your exposure to stress or at least learn to manage how you react to it, for example by using relaxation techniques or physical exercise. Thus, a healthy diet, physical exercise, sufficient sleep and the development of appropriate attitudes will improve your memory performance. Certain times of the day are also more appropriate for recording and recalling information. Managing your time according to your energy cycle is necessary to get the most out of your capacity to concentrate and remember (Herrmann, Raybeck et Grunberg, 2002).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
