Description

It's hard to remember names - here's how to do it. You'll use your imagination and some weird imagery - but this works.


Here's another great use of mnemonics. I'll give you a bunch of people's names and describe the images I created to help me remember them. Give your brain a little room to roam and put it to practical use. Also, I look at recent research that provides yet another reason why names are hard to remember.
