Works for me 2007-06-11
This book is based on the idea that pictures (visual images) are easier to remember than meaningless words or numbers. The author shows you how to translate non-visual concepts into visual images that really stick. As an optometrist, I decided to try out his system by memorizing the names of 5 kinds of contact lenses and the oxygen-flow number associated with each, in order from highest to lowest. It took me just a few minutes. It uses all three of the basic methods in Vaughn's book: the room (locus) method for remembering things in order, the "audionym" method for making a visual image from an otherwise abstract word, and the "number code" for translating numbers into words. None of this is new, but Vaughn presents it well, with lots of examples and pictures. It would be an excellent book for exam-taking students.
