2994 - Names are meaningless


Are you as bad at remembering names as I am? Here's a short video that explains it.



And here's the link to the other helpful video.

7 TRICKS to REMEMBER names: https://youtu.be/jVUgl_va6IE .


All that being said, the little help tricks probably won't help me. I can never remember the little cues to help remember.

Take the telephone cable color code that used to be a part of my everyday life. Blue Orange Green Brown Slate and White Red Black Yellow Violet. There is a little saying that is supposed to help you remember BOGBSWRBYV (or WRBYV and BOGRS depending on who taught you). I could never remember the saying so I just remembered the colors. Although I do have to say them in order to get down to the one I'm looking for.


 
The good ol' days.

Hi Mike

Your stats are up by one. As for names, I'm so bad I don't try now. Defeatist perhaps :)

I don't even remember what I just watched.

Mnemonic tricks can be more complicated than simply remembering things, but whatever works is what to do.
I'm bad with names too. I find repeating the name when I meet them and then to myself as I walk away sometimes helps. Repetition is the way to get from short term memory to long term memory.
