		<title>How to Memorize the 13 Colonies in Order</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came up with an easy way to learn the 13 colonies in chronological order. Stories are a great memory technique because they follow a sequence. The brain stores information using a sequence or pattern, so this is why it works so well. What children need to do, is visualize the story. As you read [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memorizing &#8211; Trains the Brain to Retain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This title reminds me of a  line from a song in My Fair Lady, &#8220;The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.&#8221;  We may not know any other lines in the song, but we remember that one because it&#8217;s a type of mnemonic &#8211; a rhyme.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently found the most amazing book Mapping the World by Heart by David J. Smith, that teaches students (5th grade through college) how to learn the names and locations of 190 countries in the world.

		<title>How to Develop a Super Memory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever had someone ask you the name of a movie you recently viewed, and suddenly a thought passes through your head, &#8220;Oh no, I don&#8217;t think I remember!&#8221; And of course you can&#8217;t remember it!  Negative thoughts or remarks are memory killers. It&#8217;s like we suddenly tell our brain, &#8220;Don&#8217;t  recall the information.&#8221; [...]]]></description>
