The Magical Number Seven Plus or Minus Two

Let’s not forget the teachings of Dale Carnegie…

In the memory lessons of the class, we’re taught that through relating mental imagery and the memorization of a few key concepts, we can actually store 42+ units of information (he claims infinite, but I’ve never seen more than 42)

The process is his “one-run, two-zoo” paired listing…

For each paired list, the person visualizes a scenario in their head involving the number/item they need to remember.

I can personally remember up to 21 groups of numbers (3-4 in size) for rapid recall… But I haven’t been practicing nearly long enough.
