This Mind Tools section helps you improve your memory.
The techniques it explains are particularly helpful in studying for exams or in situations where you need to remember detailed, structured information. They also make things like learning foreign languages and remembering people's names much easier.
This section is split into three parts: first of all, the introduction explains the principles behind the use of mnemonics.
We then discuss a range of individual tools that you can use to remember information. Finally we discuss how to use the skills in practice to remember peoples names, languages, exam information, etc.
