When it comes to memory, there are a variety of categories. Some of these categories include remember lists and facts, remembering events and dates, and names and faces. There are various strategies that can help you with memory improvement in each of these different memory areas.
If you are a person that always is forgetting names, there are a variety of things you can do to help yourself remember. Many people use a common trick by associating some type of rhyme with the person’s name. When you are first introduced to someone new, it is a great idea to make sure that you immediately repeat their name a couple times while you are speaking to that person. This helps you get it into your short term memory before you forget it altogether.
To make the person’s name stay in your long-term memory, use a rhyme that helps you associate that person’s name with something that’s easy to remember. For example, “Tony” and “pony” rhyme, so you can associate Tony the person with the pony, the animal.
Sometimes it can help to match the rhyme you think of with a common feature about their appearance. This can help remember the name for the long-term as well.
Another common technique for the improvement of your memory when it comes to lists is to make a word a saying/sentence or just remember the first letters of the list. By doing this it will help to jog your memory to exactly what was on the list. For example if you had to go to the shop and remember 5 items you could do it like follows.
Lollies
Bread
Chocolate
Apples
Ketchup

You can see in the above that the first letters of each of the items in your list to spell the word “black.” Keep the word “black” in mind, and when you get to the store, you’ll know you have to buy five things (since the word “black” has five letters), each of which begins with one of the five letters in the word “black.”
