High-Intensity Memory Power

Michael Cliff Kellett. Sterling Publishing (NY), $0 (160pp) ISBN 978-0-8069-6310-5

As the head of a creative learning school, Kellett has taught memory courses to students, teachers, executives and performers, and here he offers a crash course in memory improvement. Beginning with basic principles (mental preparation, organization, association, discrimination, categorization, etc.), he then applies these principles to daily activities and common situationshow to remember names, facts, faces, numerals. He also covers study habits, the process of ""forgetting'' and reading for retention. In the closing chapters, he relates memory to personality development, practical psychology and meditation, explaining ``how to get others to remember your ideas.'' The techniques are presented in a clear, simple manner and many readers will find Kellett's ``recall exercises'' and ``reading exercises'' of value. (July)
