   LEARNING

The sites in this section provide systems for training the memory. They offer methods for remembering almost any kind of information, including numbers, speeches, names and faces. The emphasis is on the memory tasks of daily life, rather than examination study. Most systems depend upon creating associations of ideas, usually by visual imagery. Such strategies have been known for over 2,000 years and their effectiveness has now been confirmed by scientific research. They may not actually improve the memory and certainly don't give you a "photographic memory". However, they allow you to use your basic memory powers far more efficiently - and (for certain tasks) the improvement in performance can be rapid and dramatic. MindUser's own course - Memory Skills Online - teaches a practical system for remembering: facts and figures, actions and appointments, speeches and presentations, names and faces. It also gives powerful learning and study methods for examination and career success.
