The Memory Theatres

While listening to people present their memory theatres in class I was absolutely amazed! I thought that Dr. Sexson was asking us to do something impossible when he first mentioned this assignment. I now know that was not so.

Everyone had a unique memory theatre, method of remembering and list of items. Each one in a way reflected that person's interests. It was great to listen to people rattle off information that may mean nothing to me, but to them it is something!

I found it interesting that our memory theatres were not numerical but spatial. When asked to go to a certain number and repeat from there we couldn't but if we asked them to go from a certain item it was possible. I was the same way, I had no idea what the numbers were unless it was number one or fifty...aka first and last :)

Great job to everyone! Very impressive!!!
