Whit the research can tell us

Say the name tae yersel, notice a distinctive drawn feature, an mak a personal link. During the delay, keek roond the room. These are fictional illustrations an made-up pairings, never photos o real fowk.

Dresler an colleagues (2017) fund that sax weeks o method-of-loci trainin improved recall o studied wird lists. That study didnae test this trainer or establish a rise in IQ or general memory.

A review bi Simons an colleagues (2016) fund far stronger evidence for improvement on trained tasks than for broad transfer. Thae tools are practice activities, no diagnostic tests or medical advice.

A few useful answers

Is ilka pairt free?

Aye. Ilka level, the image list, history an backups are free, wi nae sign-up or ads.

Will this improve ma IQ or general memory?

We dinnae mak that claim. Better performance here mainly tells ye aboot this practised skill, wi thae settings.

Are thae real folk?

Naw. Ilka face is an original vector illustration. Names are made-up pairins; the trainer disnae identify or analyse real folk.
