Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you! — John Irving Develop a memory so powerful, you're like a human computer! You'll learn to remember names, faces, numbers, birthdays, dates, appointments, or any sequence of numbers you want. Once you have unleashed your memory power there will be no limits to the type or quantity of information you wish to store. My memory is a trained memory. I was definitely and categorically not born with a special gift for memorizing vast amounts of information. Yes, I am the current and seven times World Memory Champion, and I am in the record books for memorizing 40 decks of playing cards after a single sighting of each card. I can memorize a random sequence of 2000 numbers in less than an hour and I appear regularly on television memorizing anything from shopping lists to the entire audience of names and faces. Yet, I am only able to do this because I have trained brain to do this. What I can do you can do, too. The techniques, the systems and strategies that I am going to reveal to you are in my opinion unrivalled. I believe they are the most powerful in the world and I challenge anyone to develop something more powerful.
M emory is the ability to recall information in the form of past events, ideas, and feelings. People have different types of memories, including short-term and long-term memory, and auditory and visual memory."
The study of memory can be traced all the way back to Plato and Aristotle. Plato's metaphor for memory likened it to the impression made by a seal on wax and has been sustained throughout the history of Psychology. Aristotle's differentiation between memory and recollection closely parallels what we now refer to as short- and long-term memory. Although many other explanations of memory have been offered throughout history it would be another 1500 years before scientific methods were used in the study of memory. |
