- ^Introduction - Remembering Names and Faces\
-
- Remembering names and faces is probably the most common reason for people
- wanting to improve their memories, because it is the one case where written
- notes will really not help. You can jot down a person's name, but how does
- that help you when it comes to linking it with his face.
-
- Many people seem happy to carry on forgetting names, thinking they can
- always get round it somehow, and who cares anyway ? Of course, the person
- who %does\ care is the one whose name has been forgotten.
-
- People $like\ to be called by their names. For example, if you go to a
- local shop regularly how do you prefer to be addressed - 'Hello Mr/Mrs/Miss
- so - and - so', 'Hello luv/dear/dearie/', or with a vacant stare ? If the
- shopkeeper has taken the trouble to remember your name, you will probably
- have a higher opinion of him or her and possibly be more likely to frequent
- the shop.
-
- Most of us recognise %faces\ - it's the %names\ that cause us trouble.
- After all, have you ever heard someone say 'I know your name, but I don't
- recognise your face' ?#
-
- Since we can usually remember faces, the best system to use for remembering
- names and faces is one where the $face\ actually %tells us\ the $name\. To
- do this, you simply need to |associate\ the name to his face.
-
- To do this there are two steps involved :
-
- (1) Forming a mental picture of the name.
- (2) Associating that picture to the face.
-
- Tutorial 4 shows you how any surname, however long or complicated, can be
- pictured.
-
- Tutorial 5 demonstrates how to associate a mental picture of a person's name
- to that person's face, giving you a never - fail system for remembering
- names and faces.
