anybody
can
improve

memory
.
One
method
for
developing
a
better
memory
has
been
known
for
a
long
time
:
A
famous
named
Cicero
wrote
about
it
more
than
2
,
000
years
ago
.
This
method
has
many
names
,
including
the
"
memory
journey
.
"
The
process
is
simple
.
First
,
think
about
a
familiar
place
or
journey
,
such
as
the
rooms
in
your
home
or
your
daily
walk
to
work
.
Next
,
think
of
some
items
to
remember
and
connect
each
item
in
your
mind
to
one
room
in
the
place
,
or
one
location
on
the
journey
.
Funny
,
crazy
,
or
interesting
are
best
because
they
are
easier
to
remember
.
Finally
,
to
remember
the
items
,
"
walk
"
the
journey
in
your
mind
and
"
see
"
the
items
in
each
location
.
Imagine
you
need
to
remember
a
shopping
list
.
You
might
connect
each
item
to
the
rooms
in
your
home
.
For
example
,
you
might
imagine
seeing
some
bananas
"
sleeping
"
in
your
bed
.
You
could
also
imagine
opening
a
bedroom
door
made
of
bread
and
watching
some
eggs
rolling
down
your
stairs
.
,
you
might
imagine
swimming
across
a
river
of
orange
juice
outside
your
front
door
.
Then
,
when
you
go
shopping
,
you
"
walk
"
from
your
bedroom
to
your
front
door
in
your
mind
and
"
see
"
what
you
need
to
:
bananas
,
bread
,
eggs
,
and
orange
juice
.
