DAY-34 MEMORY TECHNIQUES NAME CARDS Unless you are in a formal school setting, make sure that each participant is provided with a ready-made or do-it-yourself ‘tent card’ for his/her name. Ask for big bold letters so you can read the name from any part of the teaching area. Tip: with cardboard tent cards, bend over a corner to keep the card from collapsing.
Ask participants (Ps) to stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other. Ps say their name when they have the ball. After some time, change the rules, so that Ps have to say the name of the person to whom they are throwing the ball to. COURSE TIMING DOWN TIME In a training day of 9 hours (08.30 - 17.00), how much down time would you plan for? Always plan for down time as follows:
breaks!)
Mins Total = 2 hrs 30 mins DAY-35 BRAINS MNEMONICS Many devices exist to help people recall multi-channel messages. The Germans call them ‘donkey bridges’ (Eselsbrücke) because they help the donkey of ignorance across the bridge to knowledge! They are mnemonics (memory devices), which link together two or more pieces of information. By linking together visual, hearing and/or feeling data, the donkey bridge creates a distinct and more memorable whole. Example: the FROLL (First Reviewed Outstanding Linked Last)
DONKEY BRIDGES We will look at 5 kinds of donkey bridges that trainers can use to revolutionise trainee recall, can you guess what any of them are? BRAINS DONKEY BRIDGES
Take the first letter of every word or phrase to be remembered and create a new word and (if possible) image. Example: As a trainer you should pamper the audience with your voice by using pampers: Projection Articulation Modulation Pronunciation Enunciation Repetition
Create a phrase where each word begins with the letter of each thing to be remembered in a list. Example: to remember the colour sequence of Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet in a rainbow - Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain
Select music, songs or sound effects which will remind trainees of your messages when they hear them in the future. Examples: Use a ‘polka’ (POLCA) as the theme tune for a management course on
Tina Turner’s ‘You’re The Best’ for a sales team course
Create a memorable rhyme or slogan to ‘anchor’ your training message. Examples: Peace Corps water-saving slogan for the Caribbean: ‘When it’s yellow let it mellow, when it’s brown, flush it down!’
Design a logo for your course; create visual aids which help trainees remember key messages by associating them with a powerful picture - logos last longer! Example: Think of any flag or any company logo and reflect on all the messages this simple shape brings to your mind DAY-36 MIND SET Your trainer will stick famous quotes and names of famous people and dates around the room (or outside). Work in groups and match a quote to who said it and when.
However hard we try to keep trainee recall high, the enemy is Mind Set. When people hear or see something that clashes with their beliefs or values, they experience Cognitive Dissonance. Because of the discomfort caused by this dissonance, they will either justify their present beliefs/behaviour or distort the new information so that it no longer challenges their ‘world view’. As we have seen, some famous people have been victims of their mind set! MIND SET Faced with inevitable and totally natural problems of mind set, we trainers must help our trainees to overcome the discomfort caused by cognitive dissonance.
Exercises:
‘What can this upstart teach me; s/he’s half my age!’? DAY-37 THE 5 W’S QUESTIONS TO ASK The success of a seminar, course or instructional module depends on a great number of variables. Before preparing yourself to train, you must answer 5 questions specifically - the 5 W’s! In groups, brainstorm the 5 questions you would ask and answer before conducting any training.

DAY-40 BRAINS BRAINS - LEFT AND RIGHT In groups, brainstorm as many skills and functions as you can for each side of the brain: Left Right Logical Creative BRAINS STIMULATING THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN Professional trainers encourage learners to use both sides of the brain. STIMULATING THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN
(accountants, engineers, versus artists, musicians) find it difficult to ‘switch’ when necessary.
Example: Newton understood the theory of gravity while day-dreaming Applications: Trainers should combine analytical exercises with creative, expressive activities VHF To help trainees use both sides of the brain we must remember that information is stored with Very High Frequency - in VHF! VISUAL • Pictures • Scenes • Images • Logos • Charts • Photos • Drawings • Diagrams • Graphs HEARING • Words • Music • Conversations • Sounds • Accents FEELING • Emotions • smells • tastes • tactile experiments • pain/comfort In groups, discuss what you think a participant’s recall of V, H and F messages is after 24 hours (% correct answers).

An ongoing classroom experiment that John Townsend (Director, Master Training Institute, Paris) has been conducting over the last few years shows that, when tested after 24 hours,
