The Memory Works: Why this program works!
The most important step toward a better memory is deciding that you want to improve your skills. Research shows that you can improve your memory skills if you follow some specific rules and then practice, practice, practice. The Memory Works self-help memory training programs are unique because in addition to showing you the best rules and strategies and how to use them, Memory Works allows you to practice your new skills with real examples in the comfort and privacy of your own home and at your own pace.
All of your questions can be answered at anytime, from anywhere in the course. Within the Memory Works memory training programs, you are in total control of your own education!
Recent studies also show that people learn new memory techniques faster, and retain them longer, when the memory training involves practice of the relevant or 'task-specific' skill. Most traditional memory training programs offer neither the time nor the capability to deliver task-specific practice. But in the Memory Works memory training programs, you can practice your new memory techniques in real-world situations.
To help ensure your success, the Memory Works programs also provide a way to track your memory improvement. Seeing your skills grow will provide the motivation you need to continue practicing until you have mastered these important memory skills.
You'll actually be able to follow your progress using a quick test method. Noticeable progress will motivate you to practice more. Soon you'll practice your new skills in real life circumstances. As your skills and confidence grow, you'll know that you're on your way to mastering important social skills remembering an important name or special date. Memory Works....memory training that works!
The Memory Works program includes:
Best Intentions
This program is designed to help people improve prospective remembering–how to remember things they have yet to do. It will show you effective techniques and provide ample opportunities for effective practice.
The Memory Monitor
The Memory Monitor module is designed to help you understand how your lifestyle can affect your everyday memory ability. Your memory is affected by many factors including health, fatigue, stress, motivation level, and diet, among others, all of which can change by the day or by the hour. Use the Memory Monitor to assess your present readiness for memory challenges and as you progress check it again to see how your memory may be improving.

For many people this is always a challenge. From a simple grocery list, to the key points in a speech, sometimes we need to memorize lists. This program includes different strategies known to work: The Location Method and the First Letter Method. The unique presentation makes these strategies even more useful. The innovative and enjoyable Acronym Maker is a very powerful way to make list remembering easy and fun. It will give you hours of engaging practice and will surely help you in practical ways in various areas of your life.

You'll find this card matching Challenge among your favorite memory exercises. This program will also help increase your confidence in what you know.
REMEMBERING NUMBERS is one of the most challenging memory tasks. Haven't we all found ourselves in trouble at one time or another because we just couldn't remember some vitally important number?
Why do numbers present such a unique memory challenge? Unlike words, numbers possess no inherent meaning. One way to make them more memorable, then, is to give them personal meaning. Two strategies are featured. First, the "chunking" method may already be familiar to many and a second, less familiar strategy, the "sound/number" method brings this long-standing, but seldom-taught method to the general public for the first time.
Names and Faces
Everyday, we attempt to recognize faces and recall names. If we fail to recognize the face, we obviously fail to recall the name. But the real problem is often when we recognize a person's face but not their name. The person knows we recognize them but we cannot recall the name.
This program will teach you how to prepare yourself to make a better impression of faces in your memory, learn the names of others and recall those names when necessary. Presenting the latest in scientific knowledge and techniques for improving memory, this Memory Works program will help your memory for names and faces like no other.
After being shown two different strategies, you are introduced to many people. You'll have time to learn the most effective strategy for you to remember names and faces and to practice your new skills in simulated real-life experiences. The SALT method, for example, is easy and has proven to be highly effective for the many people who have discovered its simplicity.
