What is memory? People often talk about their memory as though their
memory is an object that can be possessed. Memory isn't something that
can be seen, touched or weighed like an object. It is a mental process and
not something you can hold in your hand.

How does our memory work? We remember things by association. Each
The more you know about a particular topic the easier it is to remember
or to learn new things about that topic because you have more "hooks" for
the new information to hook on.

Why do most of us have a bad memory? The truth is that most of us have
a good memory. The memory performance does not match the potential is
because we do not practice using it efficiently or we do not learn memory
techniques to remember better.

How can we learn to remember better? Since memory works by association,
create an association between the information will enable us to remember better.

For example, if you want to remember the following list: hamburger-refrigerator-car-dictionary-tiger-chair-radio-pencil

All you have to do is to visualize in your mind:
1. a hamburger shivering inside a refrigerator
2. a refrigerator is put inside a car.
3. a car crashes onto a giant dictionary.
4. a dictionary with pictures of tigers.
5. a tiger is sitting on a chair

6. a chair with a radio hanging on it.
7. turn on the radio with a pencil.

If you can form vivid associations, you will be surprised how easy it

is to remember the list. The idea is to be creative and visualize in

your mind the associations that connect the information together.
