Everyday Psychology
Memory Improvement.
nv nR. JESSE W. spRowLs.

II is quite generally taken for granted
that a person may by proper methods
improve his memory. Like most popular
notions, this one also seems to enjoy an
undeServed credulity. :
People are apt to give a great deal of
credit TO a formal education. or 10 the
lack OF II. for all that is noticed in in
dividual differences in the ability 10
remember. In fact. the educator Of 80
years ago boldly asserted that his was
a business of building and harmonizing
the powers of the mind
II is now generally recognized by
science that there are definite limits to
the amount of memory improvement
one may acquire. And each individual
seems to be endowed with these limits
from the beginning School work in
itself can add nothing. for the limits
of memory improvement are determined
by physiology, l. E., by nerve cells. All
that one can hope to do. then, in the
way of memory improvement Is to make
the best of his nerve tissues.
But vet it is possible to speak of
memory training and be within the
scope of The popular notion about It,
You acquire. for example. a specific
memory improvement along the line of
your vocation An artist remembers
details in picture or In a Landscape:
a musician remembers tones. phrsi-
clan notices and remembers symptoms
Any one outside these professions would
be unable to do this. So. too. you NAV
acquire an ability to remember faces
musical selections. gestures. or phrases
etc. The one word that will cover all
these things is interest The interest
YOU take In an object makes you notice
II and retain It in memory. Memory
