Depends on the type of information you're trying to remember Lists you can usually handle with a link & story technique Grouped info use a Roman Room technique. I have this, and it's very good (link and peg systems explained along with a few other things) http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...706068-5580461 This is also supposed to be a very good book http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...706068-5580461 There's some info here as well http://www.mindtools.com/pages/main/newMN_TIM.htm But, the one thing you should consider is the brain is like a muscle, and you need to exercise it.

What was the question :lol: 4D |
Fordie for you, the pneumonic G.I.T.!:lol::lol: |
I was once taught the rhyme method by a guy who must have been sponsored by "Tony Buzzan" of mind map fame. My list was a bit different than mentioned previously but you should adapt it to whatever works for you. Bun Shoe Tree Door Hive Bricks Heaven Gate Vine Hen I use software that can be linked to the "brain Gym" method of exercise. It can be frustrating at times but really works. I also have some Mind Map software that helps me remember detail for presentations etc. (The Mind Manager) Hope this helps. |
Mind mapping is an excellent technique. I use visualisation and take notes this way by drawing pictures. If I create a story that helps too. Brain gym is also useful...Mr S is correct. The brain needs lots of water to function correctly and I teach kineasthetic techniques to the kids at school, specificly done to support the areas of the brain they will need to use in what they are about to learn. http://www.braingym.org.uk/ |

Most definitions of short-term memory limit the duration of storage to less than a minute: no more than about 30 seconds, and in some models as little as 2. In order to overcome this, and retain information for longer, information must be periodically repeated, or rehearsed either by articulating it out loud, or by mentally simulating such articulation. In this way, the information will re-enter the short-term store and be retained for a further period. Having said that make sure the retained info is worth all the trouble !!! :sing::sing: |
