i guess i am a very visual person, and i also remember certain details of that person, like where they stay or which sch they go to etc.. but i just cannot remember their names.
this is in the context of a youth grp in church where i meet new people each week. when i meet them again, i tend to forget their names... i only start to remember their names after the second time i actually meet them...
soo... any ideas how can i remember names of ppl on the first time?
When I meet new people, I tend to remember faces, but not names. Any way to improve that?
I have the same problem. I use word association. There is a little boy in my neighborhood who loves anything to do with trains, and his name is Thomas...Thomas the train. His mother's name is Lola..I always see them in their front yard...I associate front with Falana, and remember Lola. The associations don't have to make sense to anyone but you. You may have a "short" Sean, or a "big" bill.
Reply:I use a little trick that may help you. I associate some part or quality of the person with their name. Randy wears glasses, and I think perhaps Randy looks at a lot of people sexually (Randy) so that is why he wears glasses. Sue writes with her left hand, so maybe she writes legal briefs to sue someone.
I know these seems cheesy, but it works for me. The next time I see Sue, I know her name. :-) hope this helps.
