quote:
The art of remembering is the art of thinking.

When we wish to fix a new thing
in either our own mind or a pupil's,
our conscious effort
should not be so much to impress and retain it
as to connect it with something else already there.

The connecting is the thinking;
and,
if we attend clearly to the connection,
the connected thing will certainly be likely
to remain within recall..


William James

Like the post says, I wish he'd been my teacher at school lol.
Problem is, he was around a hundred years before I started school.

I'm just glad of the internet and people at LSC who are communicating and consolidating all of this great knowledge.

Thanks!
