The Memory Hook

Finding a memorable feature of the person


To memorize a name we scan the person for a memorable feature which will become our memory hook. That can be basically any body part as well as clothes, tattoos and accessories. By thinking about that feature our brain will trigger the connected information.


For an actor we can imagine one the famous roles. So we use Samwell Tarly with books.


Um einen Namen zu lernen suchen wir nach einer auffälligen Eigenschaft als Anker für unseren Gedächtnis. Das kann praktisch jedes Körperteil sein sowie Kleider, Tattoos und Accessoires. Denken wir an den Anker erinnern wir uns an die verknüpfte Information.


Ein Schauspieler mit berühmten Alter Ego ist ideal: Wir stellen uns Samwell Tarly mit Büchern vor.

First Name: John

Sounds like "the John" as in toilet


For each name we search for a phonetically similar word which is good to visualize. John sounds like the slang name the John for a toilet.


Für jeden Namen suchen wir ein phonetisch ähnliches Wort, was gut vorzustellen ist. John klingt wie der Slang Begriff the John (Klo).



Family Name: Bradley-West

Sounds like "bread + Wild West"


His family name Bradley-West can be splitted into bread and Wild West. For Wild West we can imagine a Cowboy on a horse.


Sein Familienname Bradley-West kann unterteilt werden in bread (Brot) und Wild West. Dafür können wir uns einen Cowboy auf Pferd vorstellen.



The Memory Story

Connecting the memorable feature with the keywords for the names


Samwell is dressed like a Cowboy riding a horse. He rides over the edge of a cliff, jumps on a giant bread loaf and slides down into an enormous John. Splash!


If you visualized that you have now memorized John Bradley-West. Viszualize it again a few times during the next days to make it stronger and you will easily remember her.


Samwell ist als Cowboy verkleidet, reitet über den Rand einer Schlucht, springt auf ein riesiges bread und rutscht daran herab in ein enormes John. Platsch!


Mit entsprechender Visualisierung, hast du nun John Bradley-West memorisiert. Wiederhole die Geschichte in den nächsten Tagen ein paar Mal um die Erinnerung zu verstärken.

Samuel had a great time visiting his old pub. Though he did find himself making a sad puppy face when he entered the John and saw an old advertisement for the old Bradley's department store that he used to work at with his dad on the west side of town.

It's good and creative. Make sure to clearly visualize the west side of town part.

By the way: the alter ego name is Samwell, not Samuel.
