How Can You Get Better at Remembering Names?
Most people are bad at remembering names. Being good at remembering names is a matter of consciously investing a little time and attention.
In social settings, this type of simple name-dropping carries weight. People feel appreciated when you call them by name, says Richard Jackson Harris, professor of psychological sciences at Kansas State University.
How can you become Better at committing a name-face association to memory? Here are some basic but effective tips to the art.
First off, paying attention right when you are introduced to someone is key. The main reason we dont remember names is we dont invest enough in encoding the name when we first hear it; We are thinking about something clever to say back. Be attentive to link the name with the face right from the beginning.
Find a defining characteristic to associate with someones name and face. Anything that sets someone a bit apart from others and is connected to your memory of that person helps with recall, Harris says.
Dont be afraid to ask. Perhaps you didnt catch someones name because it was loud when you were introduced or the person has an unusual name. People often shy away from asking for someone to repeat a name or help with pronunciation. Dont do that.
Repeat the name is one of the oldest tricks to use the persons name in conversation right after an introduction. If you dont repeat something youre not likely to hold onto it forever, Harris says.
