Associations, the basis of all memory

I am sure you have heard many people (probably including yourself) say before “Oh, that reminds me…” This is the way our brain works, items in our memory are “linked” together on various cues, often without our conscious attempt. (This is how works.)
When you learn the meaning of words, the name of a person you just met, etc. an association is being formed - between the word and definition, the name and the face, etc.
The problem is we don’t usually have so much control over these associations. We don’t pay attention or the word is difficult. This is where visualization ( comes to the rescue. It’s the strongest association we can make!
