How can I train myself to increase my memory? Many times where I have joined my friends to study, I have noticed when they were look at the PPT slides, many of them looked at the slides over and over and they were able to memorize it. Others, just looked at the power point slides like a newspaper, and the information registered. For me, I can only memorize by writing down the material, and though its useful for me, it is extremely time consuming. Are there ways for me to increase my memory or train my memory where storing information in my mind is easier.
