In just six engaging and interactive lectures, you'll explore the real research (not the fads) on how memory functions-and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have. By tapping into a series of scientifically proven strategies, tricks, and techniques, and by practicing them through dynamic exercises led by Professor Vishton, you'll emerge from the end of this short course with the ability to process information more effectively and to increase your chance of remembering almost anything you want.''

A consulting editor for the journal Child Development, Professor Vishton has published articles in many of the top journals in the field of psychology. Among these are Psychological Science, Science, and the Journal of Experimental Psychology. He is also the creator of the DVD What Babies Can Do: An Activity-Based Guide to Infant Development.''
6 Lectures:
1. Your Amazing Prehistoric Memory
2. Encoding Information with Images
3. Maximizing Short-, and Long-Term Memory
4. Why, and When We Forget
5. Keeping Your Whole Brain in Peak Condition
6. Human Memory Is Reconstruction, Not Replay
What was the name of your first pet Where did you put your house keys How do you get to work every morning Most likely, you didn't need to look up the answers to these questions. You remembered them.
This insight lies at the heart of his captivating course Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory. In just six engaging and interactive lectures, you'll explore the real research (not the fads) on how memory functions-and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have. By tapping into a series of scientifically proven strategies, tricks, and techniques, and by practicing them through dynamic exercises led by Professor Vishton, you'll emerge from the end of this short course with the ability to process information more effectively and to increase your chance of remembering almost anything you want.
Discover How Remarkable Memory Is
Throughout this course, Professor Vishton continually focuses on just how remarkable memory is-and how easily it can be strengthened, enhanced, and improved at any age.
We may have trouble remembering phone numbers, names, where we left our keys, or facts for an exam,'' he says. All of these failings, however, are not due to limitations of your brain to encode and store information. We all have this capacity, and to a remarkable level!''
Build Your Mental Tool Kit
So what are some of the powerful skills you'll be able to add to your mental tool kit Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about a range of methods and techniques designed to boost your memory's powers.
The Major System: How can you convert hard-to-remember numbers (such as birthdays, identification numbers, or parking lot zones) into easy-to-remember images Developed in 1648, the Major System assigns a particular phonetic consonant sound to the digits 0 through 9. When you intersperse vowels and other non-Major consonants, you can make words of items that you can easily imagine.
The Method of Loci: Credited to the Greek poet Simonides, the Method of Loci is one of the simplest and most effective tricks for memorizing information. If you can tie the information-whether it's a shopping list or the names of the last 15 U.S. presidents-to known, physical locations, then your memory for it will be dramatically improved compared with simply attempting to recall the information off the top of your head.
Chunking: Studies have shown that people can hold about seven meaningful, self-coherent items (such as letters or entire sentences) in their short-term memory (known as chunks''). From this perspective, these seven storage locations can actually hold a nearly unlimited number of things. All you have to do is learn to pack more information into each of these seven chunks using the other strategies explored in the course.
Unlock Your Memory's Untapped Potential
I've long been fascinated with human cognition and the brain,'' notes Professor Vishton, named one of the best 300 professors in America by The Princeton Review. And since the beginning of my time studying psychology, I've also been interested in memory.''
Please note that due to the highly visual nature of the course Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory does not come with an accompanying guidebook. We did not believe a simple book could adequately convey the information in the course and rather than make a book that did not do the course justice, we decided not to offer a guidebook. However, we believe that you will be very excited by how we produced this course and will find it to be an enriching and fulfilling experience in your educational journey.
