^Introduction to Memory Master\

Welcome to the Memory Master training course. This course has three main
aims :

 (1) To demonstrate the enormous power of the human memory, and to show
     that memory ability is a <skill\, which can be learned.

 (2) To teach you how to dramatically improve %your\ memory.

 (3) To show you how an efficient memory can be of >enormous benefit\ to
     you in your everyday life.

Memory Training is one of the most rewarding self-improvement courses you
can ever embark upon, because an efficient memory can help you in so many
other areas of self-improvement :- learning foreign languages, studying,
learning how to give speeches or presentations, and so on.

Apart from the practical rewards of improving your memory skills, learning
the Memory Master systems can also be ^fun\.  You will be using your powers
of imagination and creation in a way you probably haven't done since your
early childhood.#

The Memory Master course consists of a series of training sessions, each of
which deals with either a specific Memory Training System (for example the
Peg System), or with the practical application of one or more of the
Systems, such as Remembering Names and faces.

The training sessions generally consist of the following :

  - an |Introduction\ section, which introduces the topic of the training
    session, and gives an overview of what will be achieved.

  - one or more ^Tutorials\, most of which provide :

     * |Factual information\ on the topic of the training session.

     * Some >mental exercises\ for you to perform

     * $Self-tests\ for you to monitor your progress.

   - an %Additional Exercises\ section, which suggests further
     mental exercises connected with the topic, which you might like
     to try.#

It is very important that you complete %all\ the training sessions in the
sequence which they appear in the Main Menu.  Even though you may not be
particularly interested in, for example, Remembering Foreign Vocabulary, you
should still work through that session.  Each of the training sessions
contains important Memory Training concepts, and invaluable mental
exercises.

The Memory Master User's Guide tells you how to use the Memory Master
program - how to input and edit data, how the menus are structured, and so
on. Memory Master really is very simple to use. If you are stuck at any
time, read the Status Line at the bottom if the screen. This line always
tells you which keys to press for the available options.

You are about to make some discoveries about your own memory which will
truly amaze you. If you work through all the training sessions thoroughly,
and work hard at all the mental exercises, your effort will be repaid many
times by your greatly improved powers of memory.
