Yuri Pugach: Development of memory - a system of techniques
In his book, Yuri Pugach teaches how to intelligently process information, navigate in the circumstances that have arisen. Such skills are necessary for a person, regardless of the type of his activity. Yu. Pugach devoted his book to the training of figurative memory, since the process (work technology), and not tools, is of decisive importance in the functioning of the memory apparatus.
Yuri Pugach devoted the first chapter to the memory apparatus. It describes its structure and mechanism, elements and their significance. Mention is made of the "Molto" system, designed to train the intellect, and describes the correct execution of exercises. The concept of a unit of information is revealed, what it is. A person is able to instantly memorize maximum information when he owns the technology of recoding.
In subsequent chapters, Yuri Pugach talks about figurative grouping techniques that create a chain of images that facilitate memorization, the importance of including sensations in the process, and techniques for memorizing sequences.
- Images reduce the number of units of information required for memorization, while increasing the amount of memory. Images stimulate the work of the logical centers of the brain, which makes it easier to understand the text. To improve the reception, training is needed, which will provide confidence in knowledge and turn learning into pleasure.
- The vast majority of information a person acquires through vision. The rest of the senses, sensations account for only 10%. Therefore, you can increase the memory reserve by using your sensations more fully. You need to completely dissolve in the text, turn on your imagination, build units of information, slow down for 20 seconds, find a “key” that will ensure memorization.
- Yuri Pugach advises memorizing sequences with the help of associations, the method of pockets, in a chain, matrix and tabular memorization. Knowing the technology and turning on the ingenuity, remembering the sequences is easy. At the same time, it is not enough to know the techniques; you need to bring their application to automaticity by exercises.
- Developed speech will allow you to remember the texts. It makes no sense to read many times, a retelling will provide a greater effect, the quality of which directly depends on the ability to express one's thought.
- Abstract concepts cannot be perceived with the help of imagination or sensations. Here Yuriy Pugach advises to apply concretization by presenting specific objects - reminders of abstraction.
To achieve high-performance work of the brain will allow the automatic implementation of the techniques recommended by the system of Yu. Pugach. Remembering the rules and definitions will allow combining images with key words. “Refining” at the end of the lesson will provide confidence in the assimilation of the material.

Organize the mind - the goal pursued by the "Development of memory and the ability to concentrate."
Books dedicated to the development of the ability to memorize a lot. This is explained by the importance of the functions that memory performs. Without exercise, muscles die. Also, memory - without constant exercise, it degrades. Improve your memory by applying the programs and methods described above. The results of training will not keep you waiting and will appear in a couple of days.
“Good memory is related to the ability to process information and relate it to what we already know.”
“The human brain is good at remembering images. Therefore, most of the methods of memorizing information - mnemonics - are based on imagination, which serves as a tool for translating abstract verbal and digital information into visual information.
Development of memory according to the methods of special services Denis Bukin
To prepare qualified personnel, intelligence officers use a series of exercises to train and develop memory.
- Keep a diary. Remembering the events that happened during the day is memory training in itself. In addition, various events have their own emotional coloring and the most vivid of them are remembered. There is even such a definition as “over-activation of memory through the re-creation of emotions”.
- See and observe.
An exercise:
- Take an object, for example, a pencil.
- Concentrate all your attention on it.
- Breathing is calm and even.
- As you exhale, close your eyes - erase the image.
- On the inhale - open your eyes and again focus on the pencil.
- Do the exercise 40-60 times.
- On the inhale, close your eyes - erase the image.
As you exhale, open your eyes and focus on the pencil.
- Repeat the exercise 40-60 times.
There is a whole range of “see and observe” exercises that have been used by special services since tsarist times (in the book by Ilya Melnikov “Methods of special services”).
- For the development of concentration in special services and not only uses: Schulte tables, Struppe test, countdown and others.)
- Development of observation and visual memory.
- The development of auditory memory. Use reading aloud, eavesdrop on passers-by in queues, transport, indoors and over time you will notice how different voices, intonation, timbre, manner of speech everyone has. Listen more. "Silence is one of the most difficult arguments to rebut." Henry Wheeler Shaw
- Remembering people. It is very important for intelligence officers to be able to remember people. To train this ability, there are certain exercises. This is the most difficult process of memory development.
It is more difficult to study foreign languages, it is more difficult to process texts, memorize rows of numbers. If you put twenty people in front of you and then ask them to identify them after ten minutes, then the result will be three to four people.
And if it is a group of people from other races, then the result will be even less, especially since special techniques for coding and development have not yet been invented, but there are several rules:
1. Force your brain to work with full force.
2. Focus as much as possible. Develop observation.
3. Tune in to remembering the person.
4. Remember the unusual feature of the person's face.
5. Relax.
6. Listen to the person's name. Sing it to yourself.
7. Remember all the people you meet.
8. Associate the person's name with his image.
9. Remember that the brain does not tolerate violence.
10. Memory training should be fun. Better regularly every day than every other week, but long and tedious.
11. After a while you will feel the results.
Getting to know and remembering people needs tuning. You must mentally give commands to yourself: “I will be extremely focused. I will concentrate all my attention and make sure to remember all the people introduced.”
Techniques for remembering people
1. Make sure that there are no absolutely identical people.
2. Immediately associate the person with someone you know. For example, you will be introduced to a man named Vladimir Ilyich. An associative image immediately arises - Lenin is sitting at the table. A table lamp under a green shade is lit on the table.
3. Imagine that you are introducing your new friend to your old friend.
4. Say several times to yourself his name, patronymic, surname.
5. Sing his name to yourself, and in different versions (as a ditty, as a romance, as an aria and as a folk song).
6. When meeting, repeat his name aloud several times. For example: "Very nice, Vladimir Ilyich." “It was a pleasure to meet you, Vladimir Ilyich”, “Vladimir Ilyich just told me about this incident.” You should not say the name out loud more than three times.
7. After thirty minutes after meeting, be sure to remember those to whom you were introduced.
8. Try to assign nicknames that are consonant with the name. For example, Lisovskaya Kornelia Konstantinovna (Korlisko). You can choose any order, for example (Lisconco, Concorli,) and so on.
9. Find parallels between his last name and his appearance, his habits.
10. Before you go to bed, once again remember everyone you met.
11. Write down all new acquaintances in a notebook and make notes characterizing a new acquaintance (Volodya - offset printing, Natasha - hairdresser).
12. Imagine that you are filming a new acquaintance with a camera, and that the image appears gradually. Repeat two or three times.
13. Imagine this person with a sign on his chest, on which his name is written. After a few seconds, imagine this image again.
14. Associate with the person's name adjectives that begin with the same letter as the name. Katya - beautiful, creative; Michael - cute, young and so on. Try to make adjectives characterize the person.
15. Find in the appearance of a person special features that are unique to him alone.
16. Mentally find the rhyme of the name. Sergei is a sparrow, Natasha is porridge, Lena is a log, and so on. And imagine a mental image of Sergei watching the sparrows, Natasha, who is crying over a bowl of porridge. Repeat this action after a few seconds.
17. Try to mentally describe your (your) new acquaintances.
Building effective communication with the person you are seeing for the first time is quite a challenge. Getting down to business immediately is not always productive, especially in the Russian tradition of negotiation. First you need to establish contact by talking about the "fads" of the partner - about what a person is passionate about, what he can talk about indefinitely. Everyone has such "hooks" - some are simple, some are more complex. How to memorize the terms of the transaction, the amount of contracts and phone numbers according to the methodology of the special services, read our article.
In this article you will read:
- How to train memory and attention according to the methodology of special services
- How to easily connect with a potential client or partner
- How to keep decisions, work plans and agreements in mind
- How to remember the terms of the transaction, the amount of contracts and phone numbers
How to train memory and attention managers to remember the important details of negotiations in the work of managers? Hundreds of merchants are looking for the answer to this question. Let's look at how to train the development of memory according to the methods of the special services, which Denis Bukin, the author of the book "Development of memory according to the methods of the special services," described in this book.
The easiest option: if the interlocutor came to the meeting by car, talk about the brand of his car, parking lots, traffic jams, junctions, road surface repairs, etc. You can talk with women about children, household chores, despite the fact that they are business -lady. But the most effective way to make contact is to prepare for the first meeting. Find an interlocutor in social networks in advance or read his personal blog, study the traces he left on the Internet - so you will understand what he is passionate about. Talking about his interests will allow you to establish personal contact.
Next, you need to allow the interlocutor to talk about his hobby and, listening to him, add comments or even gently argue. This way you will identify the positive features of the partner's personality, which should be noted in the conversation, indicating that you yourself do not possess them. For example, athletes and fans remember the standings, all the victories and defeats of their favorite team over the decades. You can say to such a person: “You have a wonderful memory. But I'm not like that, I don't remember much." If your interlocutor makes models of aircraft, it means that he has patience, perseverance, the ability to work with his hands - then note: “But I’m not like that, I can’t work with my hands.” In most cases, the interlocutor is embarrassed because he is better than you, and he will try to support you and convince you that you can do it too, that there is nothing unattainable in his abilities. This is the very moment when you can turn the conversation to the essence of the matter on which you met: contact has been established, the person trusts you, and you can calmly discuss the details of the transaction.
How to remember a person's name and hobbies for a long time
At an unscheduled meeting - say, at a conference - it is better to immediately address a person by name and start a conversation with his "fads". This inspires sympathy and trust. You can memorize and quickly reproduce such information using the features of our memory (figure). It is better to attach a name to some kind of highlight of appearance - for example, to an outstanding facial feature. At the same time, you need to mentally exaggerate it. For example, I have a beard - although this is a variable factor, it will work well because you will remember it anyway. You imagine that the beard is just very big. Then you need to make an association with her: you can imagine a person as a kind of stereotypical Russian - gloomy, gloomy, with a beard. If gloomy, then he walks like a beech, that is, Bukin. At the same time, the mustache can be imagined as a hussar mustache, and the hussar is Denis Davydov. It turns out Bukin Denis. That is, you build a mental model, a picture and thus connect the appearance of a person with his first and last name - and remember them.
Further to this image, you can add "fads". For example, you noticed that the interlocutor has a good memory. Imagine a caricature portrait of a bearded man with a good memory - say, with an exaggeratedly large forehead. Of course, the picture will turn out to be absurd, but there is nothing “wrong” in this - this way the information will be easier to remember. When you see this person again, this picture will immediately appear in front of your eyes, and you will recreate his first name, last name and basic "fads".
For the successful use of the method at the first stage, it is important to form a habit. Take some newspaper and try to remember all the characters whose images are there. You look at the photo, imagine the main feature of this person's appearance, and by this feature, as well as by his name and surname, build a mental picture, a story - and remember. The habit of memorizing in this way comes quickly enough, often one newspaper is enough. But some people are afraid of the absurdity of these imaginary pictures, while there is nothing wrong with caricature exaggeration. The more unusual the image, the better it will be remembered.
How to memorize the details of negotiations
To remember the course of negotiations, it is important not so much to have a good memory, but to be able to highlight the main points and mentally fix them. Here we continue to complete the created image of the interlocutor, adding associations. For example, it is important to remember what a person does. Take the picture you have already invented and build into it the scope of his activity. Some time ago I spoke with an office partition installer; in the first minutes I imagined him in a labyrinth of partitions - a vivid image allowed me to remember his occupation.
In the course of negotiations, you should not record everything on a dictaphone or take detailed notes - this is unproductive. It is necessary to highlight the main points and remember them or write them down on paper: then it will be much easier to reproduce what was said from them.
Motivation and context are of great importance for memory, because a person remembers the information necessary in life better.
Our brain highlights what it considers important, so before you remember something, you need to formulate for yourself the reason why you need to remember it, and the benefit that you will get from it. For example, you can say to yourself that you memorize a competitor's price list in order to impress the counterparty and look confident, arguing a price change in your favor.
How to keep a large number of numbers in your head
When memorizing numbers, immersion in the topic is important. We are good at remembering information that relates to our professional activities or hobbies. Each figure in this case corresponds to those that we already know and remember, it is built into the system of associations. You can easily reproduce the contract amounts of important clients. But how do you remember less significant numbers, like a phone number? Since numbers are abstract information that is intangible, you need to turn it into material. This can be done with the help of substitute images: they encode numbers into a picture (table), and through a fictitious story, the numbers can be associated with these images. The more absurd the story, the better it will be remembered.
For example, you need to remember the contract number 19 862. We create a mental picture: on the beach, a long fair pole (1) is stuck in the sand, ending in a candy (9). An elephant (6) is riding a bicycle (8) around the pole, followed by a goose (2) flying with quacking and cackling.
How not to forget about plans
Retrospective memory is responsible for remembering events that have already taken place, and prospective memory is responsible for intentions and plans. Remembrance of the future is constructed differently than of the past. Firstly, you need to remember the intention itself, and secondly, you need to remember it at the right time. Most often, forgetting occurs at the second point: people lose sight of their plans due to the lack of an external reminder.
To improve prospective memory, choose "targets" for yourself - events that are guaranteed to happen during the day. For example, you say hello to the concierge, you cross the road at your house, you see a white bus, you enter the subway. You need to try to notice these “targets” as many times as possible, note the event to yourself - count how many times you “hit the target”. On one "target" you need to train for several days, then replace it with another, then you can set yourself several "targets" at once. Such training will develop your ability to remember intention in response to an external event.
Then you need to learn to remember the intention at the right time. Here you will need a good sense of time: it helps, without external prompts, to remember the planned business exactly when you need it. Record the time on a stopwatch or watch with a second hand. Then, without looking at your watch, mark the elapsed minute, five minutes, ten minutes, and hour. At the same time, you need to do ordinary things and not try to count seconds to yourself. If your sense of time is wrong, note it and try again.
Now you can develop a system that will help you remember your plans. The simplest thing is to write them down in a diary and constantly return to them. In this case, you need to develop the habit of remembering to refer to the notes at the beginning of each day and after the completion of each task. The second option is to constantly "scan" intentions, linking them to an event. For example, every time the secretary comes to you with documents, you remember the list of urgent meetings and include them in the work plan.
The surest way is to develop rules and rituals. For example, every morning you collect data on the cases completed by subordinates for the previous working day, and every afternoon you check the status of urgent cases that are not too late to fix.
Also, we often do not complete current affairs if we are distracted while solving a problem by something else: attention switches, and we forget about what we are doing. You can avoid this if, when distracted, you stop, fix in your memory where you left off, then create and mentally play a new plan of action. In the plan, you should imagine how you postpone the first task, complete the second, and then return to the first. This will create a mark that the task is not finished, the motivational tension will remain, and you will remember to return to the first task and complete it.

Who is the book for?
The book is written for people who have difficulty remembering information, who feel the need to develop their intellect, who are going to become more effective in communication and in everyday affairs, who want to learn how to use more of their brain's capabilities.
About the book:
The potential of the human brain is amazing: it can solve problems that are inaccessible even to the most powerful computers. But not every person is able to use even the smallest part of these opportunities; this requires regular training.
Memory training can be like muscle training because it requires regular exercise. When using such “helpers” as diaries, notebooks, memory will definitely weaken.
With regular routine work, memory overload with information, the ability to concentrate and remember information qualitatively deteriorates.
The good news is that this can be fixed.
The book intertwines several storylines, each of which has its own stylistic features, as a result of which it seems that you are reading a detective story, a textbook, and a classified archive of CIA data.
An excellent memory is simply necessary for intelligence officers. Clarity and speed of thinking are also extremely important features. In most cases, the intelligence officer does not have the opportunity to photograph for a moment the documents he sees or the facial features of the right person. He does not have time to deal with piles of textual information, but at the same time he must remember all the smallest details and at the right time clearly recreate the information.
Our idea, imposed by films, is that a special services officer is a “Rambo” who shoots dozens of enemies. This is far from the case, one of the key skills of a special agent is the ability to work with a large amount of information.
So why don't we use developments to train special agents in everyday life?
Why is the book worth reading?
The program for the development of memory was based on the methodology for training intelligence officers, the effectiveness of the methods given in the book has been tested by time and generations of intelligence officers.
Reading the book you will go through all stages of the agent's career, as you gain knowledge and the complexity of the tasks will increase - from the simplest work to the most risky.
At each stage, you will be presented with new methods of memorizing information and tasks for practicing them.
The book is filled with captivating illustrations that will make the learning process easier and more interesting.

The difference between the pocket version of the book and the landscape version:
After the publication, the book was instantly sold out and received the Runet Prize. She caused a resonance in the media and at the same time earned the recognition of readers. Despite the excellent design that captured the attention of readers, there were many complaints that the book, due to its size, could only be read at home.
In this regard, a "pocket" version of the book was made. The difference between the book and the album is only in the quantity and quality of the illustrations, they became small and colorless, which made it possible to reduce the number of pages by almost 2 times. This did not affect the content and exercises of the book in any way.
A few reviews of the book from the Alpina Publisher website:
