Remembering names is an important social skill. 【1】

●Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. 【2】

●Use associations

Link each person yon meet with one thing out find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng—tall, black hair.” To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

● 【4】

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
