Question

When trying to remember a name, I go through the alphabet in my head, a, b, c, etc. and I find this helps.

Has worked for me quite a few times.

Answer 5

You might check out some online sites with memory training games.  I have used Lumosity.com and think it's pretty fun.

Answer 6

Sure, I know a few.  I found them at a public library... you'll find plenty of ideas on how to improve memory.

One idea I really like is a chaining technique... it will help you remember lists of words.  Say you have a list of 20 words to recall... think about some strange ways that the first word and second word might relate.  For example, if  the first word is "abacus" and the second word is "dolphin", think about a dolphin using an abacus to count how many fish he ate that day!  I encourage you to head to the library... this is just one of many ways to improve memory in a fun way.
