Well, this would be an interesting pre-post type of situation if Dellis enters the memory championship after his attempt on Everest. It could show that processing can over come damage from experiences where hypoxia occurs, that is, cognitive processing overcomes biological limitations. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] >>> Michael Palij <[email protected]> 24-Mar-12 6:23 PM >>> Well, it still appears that having a great memory is still a function of the amount of time and effort one puts into developing skills in the use of mnemonics. At least that's the lesson that comes from this year's winner of the USA memory championships -- who also won last year. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2119747/USA-memory-champion-Nelson-Dellis-reveals-secret.html?ITO=1490 As the champ says: |'My message is: Everyone can do this,' said Dellis, who |tells people he used to be horrible with names, reports CNN. By the way, the next thing he plans to do is climb Mount Everest. It's amazing what one can do when one applies one's mind to it. --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
