the human brain needs a consistent training to keep it sharp
In the fast paced world and all the millions of events happening around us everyday, it is but a normal excuse to forget about names, dates and even places and events. Little memory mishaps is no longer an issue. But of course, major forgetfulness, means you need to consult a neurologist.
Training your memory is quite extensive and very time consuming. It takes hard work and several pictures and events to make up a model story for the training. But once you get hooked to it, there's no stopping and you'll love it.
Take it from Ronnie White, the 2009 U.S. Memory Champ. During the competition Ronnie and several others, including last year's winner Chester Santos, went through seven qualification rounds.
Rounds included names and faces, numbers, speed cards, poetry and so on. The three top scorers for the first three rounds will automatically compete in the final round. Each round was timed differently, at least 5 minutes memorization and at most 20 minutes recall.
According to White, there is a system, a training program for the memory to optimize its function. He trained underwater and used a computer program that flashes a number sequence which enhanced the speed of his memory. If our body needs exercise, our memory most definitely needs one to keep it sharp.
One training example mentioned during an interview with Chester Santos, was to build a story that connects all the words or objects that need to be recalled. Each word or object is memorized with a particular event or picture in the story. It is also the same method used by Ronnie White, only he exercised more often.
Watch the video with Chester Santos.
Try this doing it yourself, it's kind of fun, and it's really effective.
