Thank you for the information. Brain Builder features some things that I try to do to keep my brain engaged with visual/associative exercises. For example when I go to fill up gas in my car, I always mark the mileage but I want to wait until I get receipt. So I look at the six digits and I try to find important dates in history to remember the numbers. For example, my last recorded mileage was 41,6032. So I pictured the following sequence: Pearl Harbor (1941), Kennedy’s election (1960); and Roosevelt’s election (1932). I know it sounds a bit ridiculous and probably works if you’re a history buff, but it’s fun to try and do it with longer number strings.

I think one of the things that actually helps people remember is if the information they’re supposed to remember is relevant. I’ve taught people how to use Microsoft Word many times and I don’t give them a whole lot of instruction in the beginning. Basic, simple commands such as selecting fonts, styles and saving a document. But when they want to move a paragraph from one part of the document to another or add footnotes or page numbers, then they’re more focused on the instruction. They want to learn how to do these more complex tasks easily and with economy.
