2. How
Memory
Works
by
Associa-on
1. Every
piece
of
informa-on
in
our
memory
is
connected
to
another
piece
in
some
way.
Example:
Apple
Associa-on:
red,
round,
sweet,
teacher,
tree,
fruit.

3. Why
do
we
have
a
“bad”
memory?
• 1.
Most
don’t.
We
just
don’t
have
the
right
associa-ons
in
place
and
don’t
prac-ce.
• 2.
If
no
obvious
associa-on
exists,
it
will
be
hard
to
remember
things.
• SOLUTION:
Create
wacky
associa-ons.
