The Greeks invented them. All manner of people in the European Middle Ages used them, often with creative and brilliant effect. Victorian schoolmasters in England almost buried them and the pupils who had to cram facts parrot-fashion. Originally published in 1972, this title brought mnemonics back into focus with a new collection designed for current use.A mnemonic is anything that gets your memory working. When in the month does the third quarter-day fall? What order have the planets from the sun? Are you sure about the kings and queens of England? People nowadays have so much to remember that even those quite happy with √2 = 1.414 may prefer to chant ‘I wish I know the root of two'and remind themselves in that way.Although some entries are very much of their time, this title reminds us that mnemonics are still a useful tool in a world where technology means most people feel they have little need to remember.

This book is a guide to improving your memory to enable learning faster and more effectively. The author, an Australian Memory Champion shows how four simple but powerful memory techniques can be learnt to train your brain for better recall and applied fo

Perdita di memoria, Alzheimer, vuoti frequenti... tutti questi mali, che ci ossessionano e alimentano le nostre paure, hanno creato un vero e proprio “mercato della memoria”. Tanti libri e pubblicità vantano i meriti di metodi che ci consentirebbero di ottenere una memoria prodigiosa. Cosa pensare di queste ricette?Quest'opera, piacevole e pedagogica, passa al setaccio tutti questi metodi mostrandoci quali meccanismi della memoria entrano in gioco. Propone anche degli esempi applicativi per il lettore desideroso di allenarsi o divertirsi.Non esiste un'unica memoria bensì numerose memorie specializzate: varie memorie, vari metodi! Finalmente un libro per adottare un buon metodo e mantenere “viva” la nostra memoria!

​​Humorvoll geschrieben und bestückt mit zahlreichen Beispielen bietet dieses heitere und zugleich lehrreiche Werk einen Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Bereiche der Gedächtnisforschung und Methoden zur Steigerung der Gedächtnisleistung. Überraschende Resultate aus zahlreichen psychologischen Experimenten räumen auf mit falschen Vorstellungen zum Gehirntraining und zur Gehirnverjüngung. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse werden mit anschaulichen und unterhaltsamen, für die Alltagspraxis tauglichen Strategien verbunden und mit passenden Strategien für den jeweiligen Gedächtnistyp abgerundet.

Scientific work on mnemonics and imagery conducted in the 1960s and early 1970s was directed at testing enthusiastic claims of the efficacy of memory tech­ niques developed by the ancient Greeks and further refined in the popular litera­ ture by'professional'mnemonists. The early research on imagery and mnemonics confirmed many of these claims and also illuminated the limitations of some techniques (e. g., bizarre imagery). As such, these seminal studies clearly were valuable in providing a solid data base and, perhaps as important, making imagery and mnemonics acceptable research areas for experimental psycholo­ gists and educators. After this initial surge of work, however, it seemed that sub­ sequent contributions met with the attitude that'mnemonic techniques and imagery help memory, what else is new?'This attitude was not completely justi­ fied, however, given the theoretical insights from the work of such imagery and mnemonics pioneers as Gorden Bower, Allan Paivio, and William Rohwer. In the 1980s this claim is completely unjustified. Research on mnemonics and imagery has grown in exciting ways. Researchers are tapping the area's theoretical potential, both in terms of extending basic memory theories to account for the robust effects produced by mnemonic techniques and in terms of using explanations of mnemonic effects to understand basic memory processes. Individual differences in the use of imagery and mnemonic encoding activities are also being explored. This research has provided valuable information for basic memory theories (e. g.

This book bridges the gap between basic memory research and mnemonic applications through a careful analysis of the processes that underlie effective memory aids. The book traces the history of mnemonics, examines popular techniques, and discusses the current relevance of mnemonics to both psychological researchers and those seeking to improve their memory. Using a unique approach (termed'mnemonology'), the authors seek not necessarily to promote specific mnemonic techniques, but to provide information which will allow one to improve memory by creating their own mnemonics.

This book describes the first comprehensive experimental research program on an individual who exhibits exceptional memory. Rajan Mahadevan, the subject of these investigations, won a place in the Guinness Book of Records for reciting pi to 31,811 decimal places, can learn matrices up to size 20 X 20, and can produce memory spans above 60 for digits. Utilizing the methodology and theories of modern cognitive psychology, the authors systematically investigated Rajan's memory skills. A wide range of experiments and tests were conducted with Rajan and four control subjects. These include memory span tests for digits and letters, memory for various kinds of non-numeric information, tests of working memory, learning and retention of numeric matrices, memory and visual searches of the digits of pi, and lexical decision tasks with the digits of pi. The authors describe how they came to understand the way Rajan stored and now retrieves the decimal digits of pi, how he learns and retrieves matrices, and how he encodes and retrieves digits in a memory span task. Although his strategy for memorizing and retrieving digits is unique in the literature on people with extraordinary memory, the authors show how their investigations of Rajan contribute to our understanding of memory.
