Memory Improvement Techniques - 80 described in detail plus when to use them
Memletics makes use of more than 80 memory and learning techniques. Better yet,
it provides a system that shows you how and when to use each technique.
Here's how Memletics helps you use memory techniques more effectively for learning and memorizing information:
- Techniques are organized into a system that
helps you use the right techniques for the material you are learning.
A unique feature is the technique
selection matrix. You can use this to match the material you are
learning to techniques that can help.
- Rather than just a collection of tips and techniques, Memletics is an
integrated learning system. It shows you when and how to use each
strategy or technique. This is often the largest barrier with many
techniques - knowing when to use them as much as how to use them.
This is especially true for basic mnemonics, affirmations and
visualization.
- Memory techniques are only part of what you need to help accelerate your learning.
Memletics provides four other major areas (state, process, styles and approach) that are
just as important as memory techniques for better learning.
- All the techniques are together in one manual, cross referenced with
an index so you can find them easily. It also includes information on what to do when
some techniques don't work as well as you expect.
- Made available in 2003, Memletics incorporates research in human
performance and technology. You'll find some techniques you haven't seen before.
