The Memory Strawberry: Powerful Tools for Memory Improvement

By Chris M. Nemo

There are myriad benefits associated with memory improvement — not just in your work and studies, but also in your personal life. We often assume that a strong memory is something you either have or you don’t, or that it’s hidden behind pages of dense neurological theory. In reality, it’s just like any other kind of training. We all have what it takes to improve our memory. But how?
In The Memory Strawberry, an audio course from Scribd Coach, memory improvement writer Chris M. Nemo explains, using powerful, practical memory tools, how to enhance your memory and grow your efficiency in all areas of your life. Drawing from the latest research in the field of memory improvement, Nemo explains mnemonic techniques based on mental images such as the Memory Palace method and Mind Mapping; techniques for encoding things you need to remember, like acronyms, the Sound-Alike Method, and the Dominic System; and how to put memory techniques into practice for challenges in your everyday life. He also shares exercises along the way so you can begin training your brain immediately.
The Memory Strawberry is a short course on memory improvement techniques explained clearly and accessible to all. Dive in and give your memory a workout!

Introduction

Hi, I’m Chris M. Nemo, and this is The Memory Strawberry: Powerful Tools for Memory Improvement, a course by Scribd Coach. ‌Thank‌ you ‌for joining ‌me -- Let’s begin. ‌

As a memory writer, I read many books on memory improvement. Most of these books are full of dusty theories -- they contain dozens of pages of boring theoretical stuff about the functioning of the brain and memory, but deal too little with the practical part of this fascinating field.

In the same way you don't have to be a computer programmer to know how to use a computer efficiently, you don't need to become a neuro-psychiatrist to improve your memory. Most memory techniques are very simple and easy to understand. In fact, you have probably already encountered them throughout your life. The key is the immediate practical applicability of the learned concepts, and this, unfortunately, is missing from most memory improvement books and courses.

In this course, I will not load your memory with abstract and useless theories. Instead, you will learn many powerful, practical memory tools. More importantly, you will learn how to use them in your daily activities to become more efficient in your studies, personal life, or career and achieve greater success.

The field of memory improvement is constantly changing, as is our entire society. The Internet is full of information about this area, but if you do not have a guide to help you discern this information, you risk getting lost along its winding paths. I hope that this course will become a useful guide for anyone who wants to understand this field and, eventually, to start training their memory.

As in any human activity, you have to start by learning the basics. First, you need to understand how memory techniques work and create your own set of favorite techniques, after which you can start to really build your practice.

So, before we get started, let’s get some things straight about memory improvement techniques. Their role is to help your memories stick better in your brain. At its most basic level, memory improvement is converting abstract things into memorable images for the brain, which thinks in pictures. Pictures are our brain’s alphabet.

But what happens when we are dealing with abstract concepts such as love, freedom or honor? Our learning's biggest problem is that the concepts we have to memorize in our studies, in our careers or in other everyday situations, are largely abstract. Numbers, dates, names, definitions, formulas, etc. are often abstract concepts that do not have a concrete associated image and, for this reason, cannot be easily retained by our brain.

This problem leads us to the first principle of memory improvement:

Memory Techniques aim to transform abstract concepts into easy-to-remember images, and this is done through association. Association is the key mechanism on which all memory techniques are based and probably the most efficient mechanism that our memory has incorporated into it. But, for the purpose of efficient learning, the association needs to be a conscious and controlled process. By choosing to be your mental movie director and to filter the images recorded by your brain, you
