A
good memory is a marvelous thing…a great memory is even better. Is there
anything you can do to train your memory to perform at a higher level? Transfer of training experts say, “Yes.”
Exercise
for the brain works the same way exercise for the body works…the more you
practice, stretch and utilize your brain “muscle”, the more efficiently it will
operate for you. You need to learn how to work with rather than against
your brain.
Experts
say that one of the most effective ways to remember number or letter chains is
to “chunk” information. It is, for example, so much easier to remember your
Social Security number in groups of two, three and four rather than in a long
string of nine digits. You have a much better chance of recalling this sequence
(24-32-67-85) than this (24326785). Why? Because you have applied the chunking
technique whereby you take large objects and break them into smaller. Give it a
try…
