- ^Introduction to Memory Master\
-
- Welcome to the Memory Master training course. This course has three main
- aims :
-
- (1) To demonstrate the enormous power of the human memory, and to show
- that memory ability is a <skill\, which can be learned.
-
- (2) To teach you how to dramatically improve %your\ memory.
-
- (3) To show you how an efficient memory can be of >enormous benefit\ to
- you in your everyday life.
-
- Memory Training is one of the most rewarding self-improvement courses you
- can ever embark upon, because an efficient memory can help you in so many
- other areas of self-improvement :- learning foreign languages, studying,
- learning how to give speeches or presentations, and so on.
-
- Apart from the practical rewards of improving your memory skills, learning
- the Memory Master systems can also be ^fun\. You will be using your powers
- of imagination and creation in a way you probably haven't done since your
- early childhood.#
-
- The Memory Master course consists of a series of training sessions, each of
- which deals with either a specific Memory Training System (for example the
- Peg System), or with the practical application of one or more of the
- Systems, such as Remembering Names and faces.
-
- The training sessions generally consist of the following :
-
- - an |Introduction\ section, which introduces the topic of the training
- session, and gives an overview of what will be achieved.
-
- - one or more ^Tutorials\, most of which provide :
-
- * |Factual information\ on the topic of the training session.
-
- * Some >mental exercises\ for you to perform
-
- * $Self-tests\ for you to monitor your progress.
-
- - an %Additional Exercises\ section, which suggests further
- mental exercises connected with the topic, which you might like
- to try.#
-
- It is very important that you complete %all\ the training sessions in the
- sequence which they appear in the Main Menu. Even though you may not be
- particularly interested in, for example, Remembering Foreign Vocabulary, you
- should still work through that session. Each of the training sessions
- contains important Memory Training concepts, and invaluable mental
- exercises.
-
- The Memory Master User's Guide tells you how to use the Memory Master
- program - how to input and edit data, how the menus are structured, and so
- on. Memory Master really is very simple to use. If you are stuck at any
- time, read the Status Line at the bottom if the screen. This line always
- tells you which keys to press for the available options.
-
- You are about to make some discoveries about your own memory which will
- truly amaze you. If you work through all the training sessions thoroughly,
- and work hard at all the mental exercises, your effort will be repaid many
- times by your greatly improved powers of memory.
