Hi Dave,
I am very interested in learning to have a more powerful memory. I am currently begining a career in Insurance at the age of 40 and have a lot of information to learn. I have 18 courses I need to take along with 4 others to get my license. How does your techniques apply to learning definitions such as Absolute Liability? If you can give me an example that would be great.
Yes my program focuses on definitions. That is part of the secret for student success. I get students to memorize hundreds of definitions in nearly every course. When you know the definitions, you know the course.
It is hard to give you an example of how to do it because it combines all of the memory techniques. Many definitions have a number that you use the number techniques for and names that you use the name technique for. I think you get the idea.
I will try to give you an idea though. You would end up making one image in your mind’s eye for each definition. Each image will have a starting trigger to help organize it so it does not get confused with other definitions of similar names. Then you pick out the key words from it, link them together using the various techniques and review for consistency.
The next day or at your next study session you go over the links to make sure it is locked in. Using this method the average student can easily memorize over 200 definitions in a week and remember it for life. (some have done more in a weekend but it depends on your effort).
I think that either the online course or the audio version will be the best investment you have made.
Dave
