Gunther won, with Astrid second and Clemens Mayer third. I did absolutely terribly at everything and came 5th, but I had a good time anyway. Gunther equalled...
Hi group Does anyone here know the "normal" number of digits/keywords/cards the average person can remember in a certain time? It'd be interesting to compare...
... The usual answer for untrained recall of non-memorized data of any kind is 7 +/- 2 (that is to say, a range between 5 and 9) separate items. This is a ...
Thanks for that I hadn't thought of the optimum chunk range. I think it may go further than that though. If you gave an untrained person 10 minutes to...
There is some evidence that we do not actually usually remember 7 +-2 "chunks" when remembering numbers, but that we remember the amount that we can say in our...
Thats interesting I read that Chinese students have a large number span (about 10 digits). This was explained as the numbers are distinctly different ...
I would like to start with a discussion about the Millenium Standard for Historical Dates. The reason is, that during the last German Championship 4 !! (four) ...
I agree completely about the standard for historical dates, as I've said here a few times before. It was set up when the discipline had only just been...
Steffen, I agree. In fact, I think it might be worthwhile going back to a scoring system similar to the one that used to be used in the World Championships and...
I would much prefer the WMC to use a scoring system based on world records, but there are a couple of problems with this: 1 - The Millenium Standards are...
Ben, I agree with your point about the need for being able to compare scores for the world ranking list, and also agree that there are problems with it. ...
I'd like to see memorists rated partially on their facial expressions. I heard that that Texan bicycle johnny (Mr Armstrong) was poorly rated by the French...
No problem Elliott Mental athletes devise their own secret preperations to cope with these particularly concentrated exertions. You could call it Preperation...
I just watched Good Will Hunting There was a nice scene when the hero and heroine were sitting in a diner and the heroine asked him about his family. He said...
Aldo, Good Will Hunting is a excellent flick, one of my favourites.. Huge fan of Damon anyway (check out Talented Mr Ripley!). Yeah, I too was very impressed...
That sounds familiar I remember as a kid, watching the generation game with Bruce Forsyth and sexy Andrea Redfern (just after Dr Who on Saturday evenings)....
I can think of a programme in some British TV channel something similiar to Big Brother but about sleep deprivation, in which contestants had to keep awake as...
... Yeah I watched it too.. remember the challenge they had to do by guessing which of the 3 doors was open? they had to go through a series of doors in the...
Have u read the book Speed Reading by Tony Buzan. If not try that. A few years back that introduced me to the world of Mind Mapping and the amazing Brain. You...
Hi there! I think it depends on your definition of speed reading. One method suggested on this group is to take some speed (benzedrine) and then start...
Hi again Here's an interesting article about Kevin Trudeau, the memory expert. Lots of good information about memory and speed reading. Really difficult to...
I will look into Tony's book. Victor, I also read the articles about Kevin Trudeau--wow! So are you saying that speed reading is not real? If there is such a...
Hi Joey There is inspiring hope! In fact after years of jumping through various educational hoops, and exploring my own knowledge obsessions, I have found...
Joey, a good reading program that is not a speed reading program, is PhotoReading. You can buy the book at amazon or any other online bookstore, or you can...
Guten Tag, bis Freitag 3.September 2004 bin ich im Urlaub. Selbstverständlich kümmern wir uns in dieser Zeit um Ihre Wünsche. Bitte senden Sie dazu Ihre...
