The memory training program at Life Solutions of Dallas-Fort Worth consists of evidence-based exercises and strategies designed to enhance memory in children, teens, college students, and adults.

The goal of the memory training program is to help students and adults whose learning or job is hampered by memory deficits or the ineffective use of their memory skills.

Memories are made through a fascinating network of memory systems in our brains. To learn more about how this happens, read my post on How Memories are Made.

Sometimes our memory doesn’t work as well as it should. Problems may occur at any stage in the memory process.  There are a lot of reasons why our memory doesn’t work: I explore these in my post When Memory Doesn’t Work.

Good News: Memory Training Can Help!

The good news is that everyone can learn to forget less and remember more!

Our focus is on creating lasting memories for the facts students and adults are required to learn and apply in school or at work. A combination of exercises and strategies are used in a structured and sequential manner to help.

Based on the research and clinical work of international memory expert Milton J. Dehn, Ph.D., the memory training program at Life Solutions follows a specific structure and sequence designed to meet the unique needs of adults and students.

By asking a few questions, we will identify your memory strengths and weaknesses.  We can then teach and help you apply the following research-based strategies and tools to meet your specific memory needs.

• Associations

• Paired Associates

• Memory Pictures

• Elaboration

• Category Clustering

• Structured Graphic Organizers

• Acronyms and Acrostics

• Rehearsal

• Loci

• Chunking

• Visualizing

• Peg Word

• Teaching the Information

• Using Context Cues

• Using Memory Aids and Tools

To help you generalize and maintain the skills learned, we teach and reinforce the concept of “metamemory” or “thinking about your memory.”  This practice consists of understanding how memory works, understanding your memory strengths and weaknesses, understanding how and why memory strategies work, and identifying which specific strategies you will use when memorizing specific information and for specific subjects.
