A SMALL PRACTICE FOR TODAY
A face. A name. A connection.
Meet a few illustrated faces, connect each to a name, and recall them after a short pause. A quiet space to practise remembering introductions.
What the research can say
Say the name to yourself, notice a distinctive drawn feature, and make a personal association. During the delay, look around the room. These are fictional illustrations and invented pairings, never real-person photos.
Dresler and colleagues (2017) found that six weeks of method-of-loci training improved recall of studied word lists. That study did not test this trainer or establish a rise in IQ or general memory.
A review by Simons and colleagues (2016) found much stronger evidence for improvement on trained tasks than for broad transfer. These tools are practice activities, not diagnostic tests or medical advice.
A few useful answers
Is every part free?
Yes. Every level, the image list, history and backups are free, without signup or ads.
Where is my progress saved?
Only in this browser’s local storage. Practice answers and mnemonic notes are not uploaded. Export and import a JSON backup to move your data.
Will this improve my IQ or general memory?
We do not make that claim. Better performance here mainly tells you about this practised skill, with these settings.
Are these real people?
No. Every face is an original vector illustration. Names are fictional pairings; the trainer does not identify or analyse real people.
