They say that you can’t teach old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old adage simply isn’t true. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change—even into old age. With the right stimulation, your brain can form new neural pathways, alter existing connections, and adapt and react in ever-changing ways. The brain’s incredible ability to reshape itself holds true when it comes to learning and memory. You can harness this to increase your cognitive abilities, enhance your ability to learn new information, and improve your memory.

In this course, we’ll go over proven techniques to help you improve your memory effectively. Before we get started, think about all the times you’ve been told to memorize something. Maybe it was something you needed to memorize for a test in school or maybe you had to memorize something for a presentation at work. But how many times have you been taught HOW to memorize? That’s what this course is all about. It’s about improving your memory.

Memory is not a finite resource, and with techniques like repetition, association, and visualization, you can improve your memory before it starts to fade. This fascinating course shows viewers of all ages how to improve their recall. It explains how and when to employ tricks such as mnemonic devices, rhymes, stories, and alliteration. And it explains the best methods for different situations, like remembering names, important dates, passwords, to-do lists, quotes, and more. These techniques will prove invaluable, whether you’re memorizing facts for a test at school, points for a work presentation, or trivia to impress your friends.

We’ll cover a variety of principles and techniques that can be used to enhance your memory. We’ll go over topics that include: how to remember names, how to remember more of what you read, how to remember presentations, how to remember important dates like birthdays, anniversaries or historical dates. We’ll discuss ways to remember number, equations and even the meaning of words and foreign languages. We’ll also go over how your memory works and how you can apply specific techniques to enhance your memory in a variety of situations.

Before you begin this course, we want you to know that your memory is not some fixed capability that’s either good or bad. Just like anything else that you practice, you can train yourself to have a better memory. It might feel like your memory isn’t that great, but I want you to know that there’s no such thing as a bad memory. There are only trained and untrained memories. If you know certain techniques, like the ones we will cover in this course, you can train yourself to have a better memory with practice. So we encourage you to take active part in each exercise. There will be points where we might ask you to pause the video, in order to practice something on your own.

This course is primarily in the form of videos and over 80 minutes duration. If you’re serious about improving your memory, you should also take part in the exercises provided. We think you’ll find them not only to be useful but also pretty fun. So with that, let’s go ahead and begin!
