Скачать или смотреть Memory and Learning: David Thomas at TEDxSWPS

At the age of 27, after a chequered schooling, David bought a book on memory and found he had a gift. 8 months later he went to the World Memory Championships and came 4th. He has since gone on to develop one of the most powerful memories in history. His memory achievements include breaking a Guinness record for reciting Pi to 22,500 digits and becoming 2007 US Memory Champion. After two best-selling books and countless TV appearances (including Oprah), he demonstrates here how simple techniques can make all the difference to our memory power.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations).
