Memory Works: For Names and Faces - Wins Single User Shipped in 7 days Cat.# BL-8CD $ 75.00 BUY

How to Make Social Interactions More Fun

Remembering Names
Everyday, we attempt to recognize faces and recall names. If we fail to recognize the face, we obviously fail to recall the name. But the real problem is often when we recognize a person's face but not their name. The person knows we recognize them but we cannot recall the name.

Remembering Faces
This program will teach you how to prepare yourself to make a better impression of faces in your memory, learn the names of others and recall those names when necessary. Presenting the latest in scientific knowledge and techniques for improving memory, this Memory Works program will help your memory for names and faces like no other. After being shown two different strategies, you are introduced to many people. You'll have time to learn the most effective strategy for you to remember names and faces and to practice your new skills in simulated real-life experiences. The SALT method, for example, is easy and has proven to be highly effective for the many people who have discovered its simplicity.

Memory performance is based on a broad array of knowledge and skills that pertain not only to memory but also to other psychological systems. Thus, the new approach endorses new methods of training, aiding, and enhancing memory.

The Practical Memory Institute teaches both traditional and multimodal methods of memory improvement and also goes beyond these methods to review a wide variety of methods not covered before. PMI brings to the public the first comprehensive account of how a person's overall psychology can affect memory. In future programs, techniques for social interaction will be presented that give your memory a better chance at success. Also, PMI will present information on various devices that enhance memory or even perform memory tasks for you. Finally, instead of offering people a few general procedures to help memory, PMI will present a wide variety of information about ways to cope with literally hundreds of individual everyday memory tasks.

Throughout history, people have sought to improve their memory. A variety of mental techniques have been passed down over the centuries as key skills for studying. Unfortunately, the old mental techniques are just about all you get from conventional books and courses. Because the memory improvement profession has emphasized mental techniques, most memory experts incorporated little or nothing of the new methods of modern science.

In the last two decades, psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, and other specialists have sought to develop a new approach to memory improvement because the ancient methods have been found insufficient if used without the aid of modern techniques. For example, any mental technique will work poorly if a person is in poor physical and/or emotional condition. Also, without awareness of the factors of good social memory skills, a person may fail to notice and remember information occurring during their interactions with others. Additionally, without knowledge of the strategies for good use of the objects and devices around you (also referred to as external memory aids), remembering may be less than desired.

The new approach to memory improvement involves learning much more than has been recommended in the past. The new approach asks the person intent on memory improvement to learn about all modes of one's psychology. The new approach is therefore multimodal. PMI endorses the multimodal approach because it assumes that memory performance can be influenced by various modes of psychological processing (e.g., physiological, perceptual, emotional, motivational, social, and environmental). It also provides a method for improving memory readiness, the precursor to improving memory performance.

The new approach helps explain why people differ so much in their memory performance over time. People vary in their momentary readiness to perform memory tasks because their mental, physical, and emotional states vary from week to week, day to day, and sometimes even moment to moment. Like a psychological bio-rhythm, mental, physical, and emotional states change with stress, health status, standard of living, and other factors. Such state changes can be presumed to result in individual differences in memory performance that are sometimes mistakenly attributed to a person's age, sex, or level of education. If someone wants to improve their memory performance, attention must be paid to one's overall health and lifestyle. PMI is dedicated to helping people improve their memory skills through the new multi-modal approach.

The innovative and enjoyable Acronym MakerTM is a very powerful way to make list remembering easy and fun.

You'll find this card matching Challenge among your favourite memory exercises. This program will also help increase your confidence in what you know.

Remembering Numbers
Remembering numbers is one of the most challenging memory tasks. Haven't we all found ourselves in trouble at one time or another because we just couldn't remember some vitally important number? Why do numbers present such a unique memory challenge? Unlike words, numbers possess no inherent meaning. One way to make them more memorable, then, is to give them personal meaning. Two strategies are featured. First, the "chunking" method may already be familiar to many and a second, less familiar strategy, the "sound/number" method brings this long-standing, but seldom-taught method to the general public for the first time. Also included is the Number Cruncher tool. Designed to generate strings of variable length numbers for you to practice with, the very useful Number Cruncher is your own random number generator and can be highly interesting in its own right. It's also a useful testing tool to measure your improving skills.
