Five steps to help you firmly remember a person's name.
1. Listen carefully
Often, when people introduce themselves, we are distracted by our own thoughts - for example, about what we will say next. Instead, focus on what the new acquaintance is saying.
2. Repeat name
After the person has introduced themselves, come up with an elegant way to repeat the name in conversation. If it is unusual or difficult, ask how it is spelled. Or just say something like "Nice to meet you" by adding the person's name to the end of the phrase.
3. Build an association
Imagine someone or something that you associate with this name. For example, Alexander the Great can be associated with the name Alexander, and Tatyana's day with Tatyana.
4. Associate an association with a person's appearance
For example, imagine Alexander the Great with hair or nose like your new acquaintance. Just do not tell the interlocutor about this trick - he or she may be offended.
5. Repeat associations
After a while, for example when you come home, try to remember the person, his name and associated associations, so that all this will be fixed in your memory.
