Most people want to learn better and faster, retain more information, and be able to apply that knowledge at the right time. But the reality is that we forget a lot of what we learn. In fact, research shows that within just one hour, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they learned. After 24 hours, this amount increases to 70%, and if a week passes without that information being used, up to 90% of it could be lost. To improve knowledge acquisition and retention, new information must be consolidated and securely stored in long-term memory. Here are just a few ways that your relationship to your memory can be improved: Use the power of your imagination to remember systematicallyCreate mental "file cards" for storing informationLearn dates and times, names and faces, foreign languages, directions, presentations, shopping lists, and moreBecome a winner at bridge and other card gamesUnderstand how your memory changes over timeMake yourself more memorable in social situations Get ready to increase your memory beyond your wildest dreams.
