Attention, Interest, Repetition, and Organization

Whether you want to improve your ability to remember names or to learn another language, improve your knowledge of a certain subject or to play a musical instrument, the following four steps are essential.

Attention and Interest will get the information into your short-term or working memory. Repetition will get it into your long-term memory, but if you link the Repetition with Organization, you will be able to retrieve the information when you need it.

Your memory works on a reminder and recreation system. If you build in the reminder while you are learning anything new, you can remember whatever you want.
