Jump Start Your Memory Performance Right Now
Learn the three basic memory skills – LOOK, SNAP, CONNECT – to see immediate improvement in your memory performance:
- LOOK: Actively observe what you wish to remember. Take your time, focus, and concentrate. LOOK stands for all five senses so don't forget to listen, smell, feel, etc.
- SNAP: Create a mental snapshot since most people find it much easier to learn and recall visual images than any other kind of information.
- CONNECT: Link up your visual images or SNAPs for later recall.
Try it out on the following list of errands (create a mental SNAP for each item and then a story connecting the items):
- Get eggs and milk at market
- Pick up laundry
- Get stamps at post office
- Buy ladder at hardware store
