I'll have to admit I take pride in the fact that I'm the only person in over 100 years to invent new memory techniques. Why? Because I'm a serious advocate of developing real study skills that will not only help you get better grades, but will actually help you to learn.
Memory training as an art form goes back to Ancient Greece and Socrates. At its origin memory skills were the tools of elder statesmen and priests. Because ancient methods of recording information was not as sophisticated or permanent as today's methods ancient educators used song and verse or reciting as a way of memorizing and sharing. As time went by it became less of a science and more the territory of mentalists who performed tricks of memory on stage. Their goal was to impress an audience pretending they were psychic. Over the years they've developed more memory tricks to entertain their audiences but none over the last 100 years has developed any new techniques that can actually be taught as a skill for improved learning or that are very practical for everyday use.
Here are 5 improved memory techniques that can be used to 'learn how to learn.' Each one of them is a part of the Farrow Memory System.
