Learning Maps and Memory Skills (Creating Success)

in a nutshell

We can always increase our capacity through training .

• It is never too late in life to start training.

• The potential of the brain is practically unlimited .

• The von Restorff effect means we can help our memory by:

  • exaggerating what we wish to remember;

  • using coloured pens for highlighting when we are reading or making notes of our own;

  • making associations to the words we are learning;

  • using jokes, imagery, striking examples, etc which will create unique pictures in the brain.

• We learn more easily if we are having fun and appreciate what we are doing.

• Motivation and a positive attitude are factors that strongly influence our ability.

• If we make more days into pearls we will have more things to remember and will live a more fulfilling life.

• New ideas are created in the clash between chaos and order in the brain. We need both these states in our lives in order to develop.

• Effective cues will increase our memory capacity considerably.
