You now know how to make a strong impression upon your brain. This has
proven to be the most valuable aid to a better memory. Thousands of
successful men have learned to use it practically in their work. It
is the greatest aid to students in assimilating and recalling their
studies.
You have the knowledge, but to be of value you must practice with
it sufficiently to prove its usefulness and to learn to apply it
accurately. This practice can be gained in a variety of ways; the
essential thing is that you train yourself to make strong visual
impressions upon your brain, to see the pictures clearly and to know
that you are recalling them accurately. For practice let us use a list
of common objects.
In order to recall a list of objects or a series of any kind, instead
of making separate pictures of the objects, combine two in each
impression. If you will follow the method used in making the following
Memory Pictures you will find that it will enable you to recall the
objects at will. We will use a list of objects that have no natural
associations, that you could not easily remember by any other method,
yet when you use this visual process the matter is a simple one.
