Summary of Kenneth L. Higbee, Ph.D.'s Your Memory

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The myths surrounding memory are that it can be improved through memory training, but that you can never improve your memory beyond a certain point. However, a realistic understanding of what your memory can do can help you achieve that potential.

#2 Memory is a process rather than a structure. It is not an identifiable structure, and the process cannot be located at an identifiable place in the brain. The word memory is simply an abstraction that refers to a process rather than a tangible thing.

#3 There is no single memory method that will do everything. When someone asks how he can improve his memory, he cannot expect a useful answer until he makes his question more specific.

#4 There is no single secret to mastering your memory, and most memory techniques are not even secrets. Many memory-training authors and lecturers give the impression that they are letting you in on their own secret memory techniques, but the techniques are secret only in the sense that many people are not aware of them.
