COLOURThe more colours you use, and the more vivid they are,the better. Using colour alone can improve your memory by as much as 50 per cent.

IMAGINATIONYour imagination is the powerhouse of yourmemory. The more vividly you can imagine, the more easily you will remember.

IMAGINATION

Expansion: The more gigantic and enormous you can make your mental images, the better. Contraction: If you can clearly imagine your picture asextremely tiny, you will remember it well, Absurdity: The more ridiculous, zany and absurd your mental images are, the more they will be outstanding and thus the more they will be remembered.

RHYTHME

The more rhythm and variation of rhythm in your mental picture, the more that picture will weave itself into your memory.

MovementAs often as possible, try to make your mental images move. Moving objects are usually remembered better thanstill ones.

The SensesTastingTouchingSmellingSeeingHearing

The more you can involve all your senses in your memory image, the more you will remember it.For example, if you have to remember that you have to buy bananas, you stand a far better chance of not forgetting your task if you can actually imagine smelling a banana as you touch it with your hands, bite into it with your mouth and taste it, see it as it is approaching your face, and

hear yourself munching it.

Sequencing

Categories and structure things to make them more easily, • Accessible• Easier retrieval of information than if

that same information were simply dumped randomly on

the floor.

Number

To make ordering and sequencing easier, it is often advisable to use numbers.

• Associate number with image.• Create a link between the image and

the keyword you want to memorize.• Thus the keyword is hanged on that

number.
