Did you ever have someone"s name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were unable to recall it
41
this happens again, do not
42
to recall it. Do something
43
for a couple of minutes
44
the name may come into your head. The name is there, since you have met
45
person and learned his name. It
46
has to be dug out. The initial effort to recall
47
the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious
48
that go to work to dig up a
49
memory. Forcing yourself to recall
50
never helps because it doesn"t
51
your memory; it only tightens it.
Students find the preparatory method helpful
52
examinations. They read over the questions
53
trying to answer any of them.
54
they answer first the ones
55
which they are most confident. Meanwhile, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking
56
; work is being done on the
57
difficult question. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers
58
the more difficult ones will usually begin to
59
into consciousness. It is often
60
a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
