Summer months see the camera ip sandy Vancouver beaches splashed with sun worshippers and surfers
vying for that golden perfection of the sun. Dr Targ now practices psychiatrist and is certainly one of your prized
home possessions.

So blessed to have found this page. I am working on remembering people’s names for work and will be practicing these techniques with the game above.

Hey, does anyone know an app where to input this data? I’m thinking of a visualizer tool.

if this is a name memory test, why the hell is it testing my dyslexia?

it’s great to see a detailed method laid out like this – i teach 160 students every semester, and for students i see an hour a week i can never recall their names.

However, some names i encounter are quite hard to put pictures to, because they are Malays or Chinese or Vietnamese, e.g. Syafiqah, Jian Wen, Ngoc Minh… Any suggestions?

If sound is more important than spelling (and it obviously IS), then your game should be lax rather than rigorous. It gives the wrong impression to have it judged like a gal-dern spelling bee! (Otherwise it is a pretty solid game and legit memory technique, imo.)

I suggest wearing gloves and canceling the rest of your plans for the day if you’re committed to doing this one…

And thankyou for writing back, Elliot. Your game is so effective, because it mimics the way we actually learn names, and the way we forget them. Introduced to 5 people in sequence at a party, I can remember all their names if we are interacting for the rest of the night. But then I get in a conversation, I meet 2 more people, within 10 minutes sometimes I’ve forgotten some of the first 5. One piece of knowledge replaces another. Product I suppose of my vertical-thinking English grammar school education (I’m 61).

I’ve just had Brigitte and Bridgette next door to each other. Most English people will have met a few Bridgets, and Brigittes if they’ve been to France; they may also have met a Spanish Brigita or a German Birgit. Bridgettes, however, like Joesphs, are unknown to us; one suspects a spelling error, which causes a blip in concentration. But I realize that Americans have a lot more unusual names than we do. In the England I left 25 yearsago, most men were still called John, Steve or Dave, difficult enough to remember who was which; absolutely nobody was called Napoleon, the pisstaking at school would have been unbearable.
