The book spells out exactly how you can make ideas stickier so people will remember them.<BR/>There is a little test that asks you five questions and it asks that as you think of the answers, you think about the way you thought of the answer.<BR/>Most people remember things differently based on the type of information they are remembering. <BR/>Example - The capitol of Kansas. Most people picture a map or just simply remember from rote memorization in school. It is Topeka of course.<BR/>Kennedy being assassinated. Now that is a whole different memory pattern. I remember my first grade teacher coming in the room crying and she said the president had been shot.<BR/>So here is the thing about making ideas stick. The more hooks you can put on an idea, the more "mental velcro" the hooks will stick to - thereby making them stickier.<BR/>What is the 14th letter in the alphabet? Did you just sing the abc song?<BR/>That is a sticky idea!Garynoreply@blogger.com
