Memory exercises stimulate neurons mostly in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain.


Stimulate your memory for names and for lists with 2 exercises:
- What's you name again?
- To do list
EXERCISE 1. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN?
Memorize the faces and names of 2 persons shown below
Make sure you pay attention to the 2 faces below and their specific features.
To boost your memory for the names: Associate the names with familiar knowledge, that is someone you know with the same name or a common object or place which name looks or sounds similar to these names.

Now try to recognize these two persons among the people below
(make sure you can no longer see the 2 names on your screen!)
Then try to remember their names.

EXERCISE 2. TO DO LIST
Let's try to memorize a list of things to do.
To boost your memory for the list below use the first letters to form a word or try to combine the words in a sentence.
When you are done scroll down
Now solve the following problem (make sure you do not see the list on your screen anymore)
(45 - 10) + (7 x 0) - (12 x 2) =
When you are done, try to recall the list of things to do that you memorized earlier: There were 4 items on that list.
