Some aspects of mnemonics teach you how to become a faster learner by using advanced memory techniques. One of these techniques is attaching images – no matter how bizarre – to words and numbers in order to remember them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brain remembers images easier than simple words or numbers so by attaching images to words and numbers, you stand a greater chance of remembering them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also attach emotions to words or numbers in order to remember them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an example. A few days ago, I was going to a nearby city to get the phone number connected to a house for sale. I didn’t have a pen or paper or my cell phone to take a note of the number so I relied entirely on memory to bring this number back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had two options – repeat the number a hundred times until it stuck or use an advanced mnemonic technique. I chose the latter. The number was: 8119-7338. It has been several days and I still can remember this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to imagine that when your grandmother was 81 years old, you were 19 years old. Then try to remember that when your dad was 73, your sister was 38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By attaching both emotions and images to these numbers, I was able to hold them in memory until I could have written them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you enjoy this simple memory trick?
