Hi Guys,
I must say I am skeptical of alot of these accellerated Learning Programs. But one technique I really liked and I use it alot is to use symbols to represent the information, such as dates, names or timelines of events. I would use the imagination to place the symbols in different locations in a room

I believe this technique is called 'In Loco' and was used by the ancient Greeks and has been associated alot with Tony Buzan. It was super as in a short period of time I was able to have the entire class remembering the entire timeline of events that led to the outbreak of world war one. Anyway I wanted to share it as I think it is very effective, also as NLP is about focusing on what works, voila, here is my feedback.

Does anyone know of anyother effective techniques, including non nlp techniques?

'In Loco' = The "Loci" method of memory- they are a host of mnemonic systems that work really well, that you can find freely on the net- one resource is http://www.thelearningweb.net/learningrevolution1999.html one memory training program I have found real good is quantum memory power by Dominic O'Brien- and a few book I would recommend would be-

The Mind of a Mnemonist- A Little Book about a Vast Memory A. R. Luria
Wyatt Woddsmall - The Future of Learning - The Michel Thomas Method
Robert Dilts & Todd Epstein - Dynamic Learning

All books by Tony Buzan use your head and use your memory and the speed reading book, would be a start-

Don Blackerby Rediscover the Joy of Learning

Paul Scheele - The Photoreading whole mind system



Hope that points you in a good direction.

I like Harry Lorayne, myself. He wrote one masterpiece called Page-a-Minute Memory Book that you can read in about an hour and, if you do the exercises, you'll have a much better memory after you put it down than before you picked it up. It leaves a lot of the practical applications up to the reader, though, which I happen to like.

If you want one with lots of specific exercises and applications for students, he wrote a couple along those lines. Find those and the rest at the amazon.com Harry Lorayne page.
