In the List of Items No. 1, how many items could you remember and write down? If less than 20 then do that exercise again but by one of the following two methods:
1. Make a story that somehow includes or employs the 24 objects of the List of Items No. 1; something like this: There was a Cat on a Tree where a Bird lived, that tree was in the yard of the Greek Colosseum ....
2. Classify the objects of the List of Items No. 1 in several groups such as Animals, Accessories, etc. and then memorize the groups and the items for each group.
Now, as a new exercise, try to memorize the following list of items in three minutes; then, take it away and take a pen and paper. Now, try to remember what you saw on this list and write it on the paper. You have 3 minutes to remember. You may use one of the above two methods to memorize this list easier.
How many items you could write? Give yourself a score out of 24 as there are 24 items in the list.
