Content
• Introduction
We begin with information on the importance of a good memory.
• Memory test
How good is your memory? Before starting to use your memory more efficiently, it is interesting to see how good it is now. This is tested using two different memory tests.
• Memory types
The three different memory types are treated: the sensory, short- and long-term memories.
• How memory works
You can optimize your short-term memory in two ways: through concentration and motivation. To then ensure that information is transferred from the short- to the long-term memory, you need to apply the ideal repetition pattern.
• How to improve your memory
How do we remember things? How can we improve the way we do this?
• Memory techniques
Three different memory techniques are dealt with: memorizing names, numbers, and things in specific order (the Roman room or loci system).
• Memory test
The workshop concludes with a memory test using the techniques you have just learnt.
