How To Double Your Memory - Permanently

How to Double Your Memory Permanently

Is Intelligence the other side of the coin of Working Memory? When kids

and adults have poor working memory, are they automatically stupid?

What's "working memory"?

Is it's your brain's ability to hold information and manipulate it mentally?

Some examples please: how can we understand the idea in a sentence unless

we remember the first half and combine it with the last half?

What is the 5th letter of the English alphabet? You can hear (subvocalization) them in your mind and count them simultaneously. A-B-C-D-E and convert it to a number – 1-2-3-4-5.

Aren't you holding information and manipulating it in your cerebral cortex?

If you have a poor, weak, untrained Working Memory – goodbye to learning, including answering baby-easy questions like – what is the 5th letter of the alphabet?

Durham University, England (U.K.)

Dr. Tracy Alloway, lead author tracked over 3 thousand students and discovered

ten (10%) percent from ages 6 to 12 experience lousy and ineffective working

memory. So what? It stunts their learning: reading, writing (typing), science and math. What's left – recess?

In England, they figure 500,000 kids cannot learn because of defective working memory and not low intelligence. If you can retrain their memory you turn dropouts into engineers, computer scientists, lawyers or just happy, productive citizens.

Key point: working memory is not genetic and can be trained and improved.

Change their self-image from under-achievers in school and you change their careers for life.

Teachers

Three minor changes in classroom teaching can improve weak working memory

( smaller storage capacity) up to 49%.

1. 1. Repetition is the Mother of learning and working memory.

Repeat instructions three (3) times.

1. 2. Intentional speak in short, simples sentences.
2. 3. Use small Chunks of information in each sentence. Do not

combine ideas, separate them.

The Alphabet Backwards

Every time you exercise your brain there are firings of neurons and strengthening

of neural networks. "The neurons that Fire together, wire together", D.O. Hebb.

Help me out: The last three letters of the English alphabet are ZYX (backwards).

Next remember the abbreviation for West Virginia – WV and add to that the initials

for Utah (UT).

Read this silly sentence three (3) times and reduce it to an Acronym (first letters of each word). "Some Reporters Quickly Pee ON MLK (milk) JIHG (jig)" FED CBA.

Stop: FED is Fed Ex and CBA is Cost-Benefit Analysis.

Check it: ZYX-WV-UT-S-R-Q-P-ON-MLK-JIHG-FED-CBA. You got the 26 letters

of ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. So what? You just exercised your

Working-Memory and increased its storage capacity. The Roman (Latin) alphabet rules.

Linking Verbs For Long Term Memory

According to Mark Twain and neuroscientists, the brain (hippocampus memory storage) hates remembering numbers. Numbers are abstract, not concrete and hard to associate with other knowledge.

The secret is to convert numbers into creative imagery – specifically Verbs. Our memory codes new ideas in Pictures and recalls best in Associations.

Promise: if you take ten minutes to learn to convert numbers 1-10 to PEG words, you will have a Magic Bullet to double your long-term memory – permanently.

It is a game and fun – B. Franklin said (again and again) "When you FINISH changing – you're finished!"

Learn and you trigger and change your inquiring mind.

Verb Conversion

1. 1. One is Running
2. 2. Two is Throwing
3. 3. Three is Peeing
4. 4. Four is Scoring
5. 5. Five is Fighting
6. 6. Six is Striking (hitting or on-strike)
7. 7. Seven is Sleeping
8. 8. Eight is Mating
9. 9. Nine is a big, fat Swine.

10. Ten is a Hen.

1. 0. Zero is a Hero.

Exxon

On March 1, 2010 Exxon stock sells on the New York Stock Exchange for

$65.30 at 1:12PM. The number 65 is tough for civilians to recall from long term

memory storage. Use your imagination – mentally visualize the double XX for Exxon.

Now see folks marching ‘on-strike' (Six) at an Exxon station and a fight (Seven) breaks out with flying bricks and the cops. You will remember the scene permanently because it is active and has only two verbs – strike and fight.

See, the PEG Words never change. Six is always Striking (someone) or On-Strike. Remember the picture of a striker taking her poster and Striking the boss over the head with it. Five is eternally the verb – fighting, fight or fought (pick one).

The 30 cents requires your imagination to visualize ‘a peeing hero'.

What was the price of Exxon at 1:12PM? See it now in your imagination - $65.30.

For Inquiring Minds Only:

Twenty (20) is Virginia (the state). Thirty (30) is Trio. Forty (40) is Quartet.

Fifty (50) is Quintet. Sixty (60) is Sexy. Seventy (70) is September.

Eighty (80) is October. Ninety (90) is November. One hundred (100) is Century.

For Brilliant Stars only: how else can you remember (Peg Words) $65 for Exxon?

Sixty (60) is Sexy and five (5) is Fighting. Imagine - women fighting in the ring.

Repeat three times (3x) as you see a creative image of a Sexy Fight at Madison Square Garden, NYC. Sexy-Fighting is $65.

What if the price tanks to thirty-nine ($39)? Thirty is Trio and nine (9) is a Swine.

Mentally visualize a Threesome (trio) of huge Swine (pigs). The Peg Words are

very visual and easy to recall - $39 is a trio of swine now and forever.

Endwords

Would it help your career to have a unique competitive advantage over your career peers? What if you can read and remember three (3) books, articles and reports,

which your peers can hardly finish one?

Tell me the words for 4 to 20 that are used to count sheep in Wharfedale, England?

Just to jog your memory, One, Two ,Three are Yan, Tan, Tether.
I know that in other locations there are number words up to 20.

There are none. The Wharfedale version of Yan Tan Tethera only went up to three.

Other versions of Yan Tan Tethera only went up to 10.

(Oh, by the way. The answerer below has used the words for Swaledale NOT Wharfedale)

Manhattan Memories $30.72 "A GOOD WAY to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in the emergence of America's underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield, England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City. There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns. Wilcock called his column "The Village Square," an intended pun. He and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer's monstrous ego." -From the preface of Manhattan Memories, by Martin Gardner His weekly column, which dates back to the early Village Voice years, and his cable TV travel show which has covered a score of countries, appear on his website at www.ojaiorange.com along with his personal magazine.

Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands $3.99 This is an electronic edition of the complete book complemented by author biography. This booktable of contents linked to every volume and chapter. ******************. This book will be found to be truly what its name denotes, "Sunny Memories.". If the criticism be made that every thing is given couleur de rose, the answer is, Why not? They are the impressions, as they arose, of a most agreeable visit. How could they be otherwise?. If there be characters and scenes that seem drawn with too bright a pencil, the reader will consider that, after all, there are many worse sins than a disposition to think and speak well of one''s neighbors. To admire and to love may now and then be tolerated, as a variety, as well as to carp and criticize. America and England have heretofore abounded towards each other in illiberal criticisms. There is not an unfavorable aspect of things in the old world which has not become perfectly familiar to us; and a little of the other side may have a useful influence. .

A lifetime ago, Erika Rosenthal and her husband, David, fled to England to escape the Nazis--which is all Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Gemma James truly knows about her secretive friend's past. But Erika needs Gemma's help now. A family heirloom, stolen during their flight, is being sold at a prestigious London auction house. Who has had it all these years?
