Full Description

Memory is very complicated. We all know what it’s like to have trouble finding our keys in the morning, remembering why we went upstairs, or recalling the names of people we have just met.  With Mason's clear explanations of how memory works, you will understand the different types of memory that you use everyday. How we remember things is a process. By helping you understand and pay more attention to the steps of this process, you can improve your memory by using specific techniques. This booklet explains how your memory really works. It helps you identify or target specific areas of memory that you can improve with simple techniques. 

 
There is a chapter on which vitamin and herbal supplements can help improve memory - and which do nothing at all.  New developments in memory research are explained in userfriendly language.
