FREE online courses on Conversation Skills - Taxing memory for good impact

 

You can always boost your memory for a good impact during a conversation. “The average man,” said the noted psychologist, Prof. Carl Seashore, “does not use above ten percent of his actual inherited capacity for memory. He wastes the ninety percent by violating the natural laws of remembering.” There are three of these natural laws:

 

1.                  Impression

2.                  Repetition

3.                  Association

 

To achieve this you must:

 

1.                  Concentrate

2.                  Observe closely

3.                  Read aloud

4.                  Get an eye impression

5.                  Act on the power of repetition

6.                  Associate it with facts

7.                  To remember names, connect the name with the face.

8.                  To remember dates associate them with prominent dates already in mind.
