INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE/OCTOBER 25, 1988

Remembering continued

“There are many more
mnemonics which can be used,
depending on the information to
be remembered and how long it
needs to be remembered,” says
Rea.

"Basically, if you spend time
practising the technique, you
will be able to improve your
memory, but it takes effort,"
says Rea.

And what about the chronic
forgetter who can’t seem to even
remember to get dressed in the
morning before leaving for work
- is there hope for him?

"Well, most people should be
able to improve their memories
if they practise," says Rea. "But
some people with really bad
memories may forget to prac-
tise."
