Ten Words You Will Meet When People Talk About Training the Memory

A plain-English glossary of ten words used when people talk about training the memory, from attention and encoding to mnemonic and the sovereign mind. Every field has its own small dictionary, and the world of memory training is no exception. Newcomers often feel lost when a teacher says encoding, retrieval, or mnemonic as though everyone already knows. This glossary is meant to remove that barrier. Each entry gives a plain-English explanation, an everyday example, and a note on how the term is usually used. It is a general reference on the subject, not a summary of any specific book, and it makes no medical claims. The glossary is offered as background for readers of THE BILLIONAIRE MEMORY MASTERY (https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=wWTuEQAAQBAJ), a title whose keywords include memory training, sovereign mind, and memory mastery meditation. I do not know how that book defines these words, so please read the entries below as common usage rather than as the author's own definitions.

Abstract

A plain-English glossary of ten words used when people talk about training the memory, from attention and encoding to mnemonic and the sovereign mind. Every field has its own small dictionary, and the world of memory training is no exception. Newcomers often feel lost when a teacher says encoding, retrieval, or mnemonic as though everyone already knows. This glossary is meant to remove that barrier. Each entry gives a plain-English explanation, an everyday example, and a note on how the term is usually used. It is a general reference on the subject, not a summary of any specific book, and it makes no medical claims. The glossary is offered as background for readers of THE BILLIONAIRE MEMORY MASTERY (https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=wWTuEQAAQBAJ), a title whose keywords include memory training, sovereign mind, and memory mastery meditation. I do not know how that book defines these words, so please read the entries below as common usage rather than as the author's own definitions.
