1. FACE ASSOCIATION

Examine a person's face discretely when you are introduced. Try to find an unusual feature, whether ears, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin , complexion, etc..

Create an association between that characteristic, the face, and the name in your mind . The association may be link the person with someone else you know with the same name . ALternatively it may be to associate a rhyme or image of thename with the person's face or defining feature.


2. REPETITION

When you are introduced, ask for the person to repeat thier name. Use the name yourself as often as possible ( without overdoing it) If it is unusual , ask how it is spelled or where it is comes from, and if appropriate , exchange cards. Keep in minds that the mroe often you hear and see the name, the more it is to sink in.

Also , after you have left that person's company, review the name in your mind several times. If you are particularly keen you might decide to write it doen and make notes.

SUMMARY

The methods suggested for remembering names are fairly simple and obvious , but are useful. Association either with images of a name or with other people can really help. Repetition and review help to comfirm your memory.

An important thing to stress is practice, patience and progressive improvement.
