To achieve whole mind memory you need to teach your mind to use all aspects of it, and the more different types of memory techniques and brain games you use to practice the better the connections in your brain cells (neurons) will become and the stronger your memory will be. This will help those who [...]

When we are trying to study and remember things we have been told that we should get rid of all background distractions. Noise has been thought of as detrimental to memory and learning.

Actually, when looking for this answer I was surprised to find an array of answers. Some say the brain is pink, others say it is mostly gray. We usually think of the brain as being light gray or white, because we have seen them in jars on television or in a science class when they [...]
Two-Time USA Memory Champion; memory training expert and memory keynote Ron White shares his thoughts on the value of teachers identifying the different learning styles of students in order for them to improve grades. Discoveries in brain research show our cranium is divided into two hemispheres – the right side is our analytical side, and usually attributed to auditory/sequential learners; while the left is attributed to our creative side and to visual/spatial learners. How we process our information relates to how we function in other areas of our lives. The question is - are our teachers structuring their lesson plans toward only one type of learning group while missing the advantages and potential of the other?
Dreary rainy or wintry days seem to bring out the moodiness in us all. Sunshine, on the other hand, seems to clear up our brains and allow us to learn and memorize easier. Is this an individual phenomena or is something going on in our brains that allows for variations in weather to affect our [...]
Alzheimer’s is the leading cause of memory loss and dementia in people over 65, and affects over 300,000 people a year. It is devastating for not only the person who is suffering from it – for eventually they will not understand there is a problem, but takes control of everyone around them as they watch the progression from a viable person to a non-functioning one with a terminal illness.

It’s common to second-guess our efforts at parenting, primarily because there is so much competition – for the “right†preschools and the need to start early to position your child for higher education. There is so much [...]
