intentional Mental Visualization that personifies the idea, name, or program in long-term memory, is a powerful visual metaphor that permits us to retrieve the memory later. What is worth a thousand words?

Lazy as we Dare to be?

How much effort would you expend to permanently double your retrievable memory? Before you answer, would you be motivated to change your status- quo, your comfort-zone, if your peers, instructors and career-superiors began to think of you as their resident genius – the go-to individual who remembered it all?

Hold it – how many times in the past five-years have you thought you wanted something badly – lose 15 pounds of ugly fat – learn Spanish or Chinese – or become deliciously rich – and half-way there decided it was too much work?

Humans are as lazy as we dare to be – at home, in school, in our careers. What is the magic formula that produces success for the Vital Few, and just frustration for the Trivial Many? Google: Vilfredo Pareto, 80/20 rule.

1. The brain processes information differently in learning new knowledge, compared to retrieving that information (name, places and ideas) after it is filed in our long-term memory. Learning requires effort; accessing what we know is pushing the button using the proper information-processing strategy.

3. If your mental picture is constructed of an exciting, arousing emotion, the memory is produced by our Amygdala, located in our brains Limbic System. It remains as a permanent long-term brain fixture.

If it is an ordinary commonplace mental-movie, it is produced by our pre-frontal cortex, and makes no lasting impression.

Seeing a naked man or woman running down the courthouse steps is captured by our Amygdala; having breakfast at the diner and being served by the waitress is filed into our pre-frontal cortex and makes little impression, right? See: MIT, fMRI research, Elizabeth Kensinger, of the brain and cognitive science department. Rape, murder and mayhem rules, not images of sorrow and mourning. The former is based on our Stress hormones.

4. Ask yourself this question when attempting to concoct a mental image for long-term memory: Is this image exciting and arousing, and what does it remind me of?

See a mental image of one hundred musicians each chewing on a Bun. On their respective heads is a model of the Empire State Building. In the Peg System, the Bun represents the number one in a series; the group is the New York Symphony.
