Fortunately, by keeping our minds actice as we grow older, we can develop a superior ability to organize facts, making them easier to recall. That is the basis for the well-known memory-training techniques developed at Stanford University.Dont Forget! collects more than 100 fun exercises proven to help people develop a sharper, longer memory. They focus on real concerns and everyday tasks: matching names to faces, remembering directions, learning new skills.
