Cracking the code to Memory.

Hear the name and forget it, instantly.
Are you a visual and not an aural learner?
No matter how hard you try to learn just by listening, the lesson is out of your head by the time you leave the classroom.
Does this describe what happens to you and your brain?
It is not a case of memories being blocked but it is a case of interference from irrelevant memories.
Continue to say names aloud even after you think that they are etched in stone in my memory.
For groups that meet infrequently, campaign for name tags. No one should have to remember the names of people they see once or twice a year.
These are ways you can assist your brain to remember and mnemonics too can help some people whose brains are not naturally good at remembering things.
These facts are extracted from Health in the New York Times but are common knowledge in the community for those concerned with these matters.
Don't think it is just you, many brains function better visually than aurally so you need to be aware and develop techniques for dealing with the problem.
My suggestion is that some brain games geared specifically to this particular problem would be beneficial.

Jo, I'm sure your brain is not as mushy as you think, parenthood challenges it so much. Especially when you're doing it yourself which many now find too difficult to do.
I know I have two very worthwhile comments here and I thank you.
