SPARKLING MEMORIES
The Secret To Improving Your Brain Power
2
Many of us including me
had truly wished we were
A students.
Imagine! A world where we would learn, understand and
remember almost everything , we have
learnt for a lifetime. Do you think it is possible?
3
It is possible
YES

For a long time many memory competitions have taken place and
the winners have performed powerful
memory feats.
Most of us assume that they
have a high IQ not normal to many humans.
In interviews these people have admitted to using a
memory technique.
5
Psychologists have conducted many researches,
and Good news is Mnemonics works on
everyone.
Psychologist believe that despite having different forms of intelligence, memory is universal and the
difference is how we store and retrieve information.

People who don’t perform well in
examinations, lose their self esteem,
feel foolish or even give up schooling. This should not to be so! We all have
enough brain power to remember and be A students.
SO! there is a need to change the way we STORE
information to memory and have a balance. We
often remember long time events , songs, people or
places without making much effort. Why?
THAT IS WHAT THIS BOOK “SPARKLING MEMORY” IS
ALL ABOUT.

In my own experience as a student, I was good in class comprehension and
cognition but come exam day, I never remembered as well as I should have.
This left a question mark ! My teachers and parents thought maybe anxiety or
lack of study
What is the problem? I began to question. This lead me to reading a lot on brain, memory and
cognition

I conducted a research on “Long term Memory and Rehearsal Enhancers” I talked
to many students, teachers and other professionals. It is apparent that most
students, 75%, are not aware of memory tools and they use cramming and
repetitions to commit to long term memory.
25% good performers, use memory strategies to remember variety of facts and ideas they need to retain, though they are unaware of this. The research also revealed that the current rote learning system does
not use all of the five memory lanes. It uses only the semantic memory lane leaving out
episodic, procedural, automatic and emotional memory lanes.

3. Use fun learning strategies like
memorable imagery. Which helps change their overall attitude,
focus, communication, imagination,
organization and self esteem.
2. Use chains of association to connect one memory with
another- here new information is encoded in
such a way that it is connected to previously
stored memory, such that it is not easily forgotten
1. Form Memory Tools (Mnemonics) to help them organize information into
patterns, which use 5 memory lanes and encourage
purposeful learning, which our selective brains’ tends to
remember.
