A WEE PRACTICE FOR THE DAY
Mak numbers easy tae mind.
Mind a string o digits, hide it, then see whit stuck. Pick yer ain pace an try a simple soond-tae-image technique.
Gang tae the test
Whit the research can tell us
Try groupin digits intae wee chunks. In the major system, consonant soonds stand for digits; add vowels tae mak a wird, then picture it in yer heid. It's an optional mindin aid, an yer ain associations micht feel mair natural.
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.
Hou are digits scored?
Ilka digit counts whan it matches the same place in the original string. Leadin zeros matter. Spaces atween digits are taen oot.
