PELMAN SYSTEM
MIND & MEMORY
.....
It will be remembered that on a previous page (see p. 19) we dealt with the need of vivid impressions as a source of sound knowledge and reliable memory. It follows from this that the first scientific step in mental training is to educate the powers through which most of our information comes, namely, sight and hearing. Take a sheet of paper and write down a list of the names of six of your friends—both sexes. Opposite each name write the (a) colour of the eyes, (b) the shape of the nose, (c) the manner of wearing the hair, and, in the case of men, the absence or presence of beard and moustache. (d) Add also a note as to any particular article of clothing worn on the last occasion you saw the person concerned.
Some people find an exercise of this kind very easy; they are naturally acute observers; other people find it rather difficult; their powers need training.
