Some people are naturally inclined to remember lists, whereas others remember stories and ideas better. This is an indication of their

natural learning capabilities. However, the best memory is an integrated memory. One where you remember lists and stories equally well.

This leads us to understanding the brain and learning how it works in very simplified terms.

We use these 12 memory principles in a series of memory systems.

All of these systems depend upon a KEY IMAGE WORD, which is usually constant. This KIW must be pure, so nothing can interfere with the items

you want to remember.

Here we use KMI, which never changes: anything you want to remember, you attach onto these images.

You need to remember 10 things in order. Imagine each number as a hanger, onto which you can hang your clothes. Just like your clothes, you can change the things to remember, but the hangers stay the same.

A swan opens and folds it wings together like hands clasped in prayer.

This system works similar to system 2 and 3. However, it is pegged to the alphabet. Select a KMIW that starts with the sound of the letter and is easily memorised.If the sound of the letter itself makes a word with meaning, use that. (I = eye)
