Conclusion

At this point, you've learned a bunch of techniques for memorizing things more

 

effectively: forming vivid and funny images, making associations, converting numbers to

 

picture words, and many others.

 

Remember, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to memorize something; the idea is to

 

simply take the information and techniques you've already learned and adapt them to the

 

specific task or activity at hand.

 

But above everything else, I encourage you to practice memorizing things every

 

day. Consider this: If someone teaches you how to drive an automobile, and you study the

 

car owner's manual carefully, and learn perfectly everything there is to know about driving

 

a car, that doesn't mean you can jump in a car and start driving flawlessly in downtown

 

New York City! You know what you need to do. Keep on practicing the memory

 

techniques you've learned until they become second nature. Look around you and find

 

things to memorize, such as your cousin's telephone number, your favorite chocolate chip

 

cookie recipe, the call letters of your local TV stations, the vocabulary words in your school

 

science textbook, your license plate or driver's license, or whatever! Go for it, and

 

remember to have lots of fun!
