Introduction to Memory Techniques
The basic principle is to use as
many of the best functions of the human brain as possible to code
information. The human brain evolved to code and interpret complex
stimuli - images, colour, structure, sounds, smells, tastes, touch,
spatial awareness, emotion, and language - using them to make
sophisticated interpretations of the environment. Human memory is
made up of all these features. Typically, however, information
presented to be remembered is from one source - normally words on a
page. While language, words on a page, reflects one of the most
important aspects of human evolution, it is only one of the many
skills and resources available to the human mind.
Using Your Whole Mind To Remember
By coding language and numbers in
sophisticated, striking images which flow into other strong images,
we can accurately and reliably code both information and the
structure of information to be easily recalled later.
The Memory Fallacy
Most people believe that their
memories get worse as they get older. This is true only for people who
do not use their memories properly: memory is like a muscle - the
more it is used, the better it gets. The more it is neglected, the
worse it gets. While in education most people
have to use their memories intensively - simply to remember facts and
pass exams. When people leave full time education, they tend to cease
to use their memory as actively, and so it starts to get flaccid.
How Memory Works
Memory works by making links
between information, fitting facts into mental structures and
frameworks. The more you are actively remembering, the more facts and
frameworks you hold, the more additional facts and ideas will slot
easily into long term memory.
Why Memory Doesn't Work!
Another reason for memory getting
apparently worse is that outside academia information tends not to be
as clearly structured as it is in education. The clear presentation
and organisation of a good lesson or training course provides a
structure in its own right. Where information drifts in as isolated
facts, it will normally be forgotten simply because it is not
actively structured.
Again, as people grow up they are
trained out of spontaneous, imaginative behaviour: most peoples' jobs
depend on them being predictable and reliable far more than on them
being imaginative. An important feature of memory, though, is the
imagination that allows you to construct the strong links between
things to be remembered and the cues for their recall. Of course be
reliable, but keep your imagination fresh at the same time!
So memory in most people does get
worse with age, but only because it is allowed to. By continuing your
education throughout your life, by cultivating your mind and keeping
it open to new experience, by actively fitting facts into clear and
flexible frameworks, and by keeping your imagination working, your
memory can get better and better as you get older.
Doing this not only gives you a
better memory but think how many times you have heard this message in
connection with other self-improvement methods! An important thing to
realise is that different people learn in different ways. The way in
which people learn is often a factor determining the subjects they
choose to study, instructors they relate to, and careers chosen in life.
If you need that little extra
help right now to get you through those important exams then this is
the program for you! Make learning easier and fun. With powerful
hypnotic tools as your guide those exams will become a breeze!
This amazing memory enhancing
hypnotic program comes as a single cassette or compact disc and is
recorded in digital stereo containing powerful hypnotic and
subliminal suggestions. Like all hypnotic programs you
must never use audio program whilst driving or operating machinery of
any kind.
