Hi DaveK,

I tried the tool on that page. works well as long as that string of 1st
letters is in front of you. After using the string to recall the original
passage successfully 3-4 times, I tried remembering the passage without the
string in front of me. my performance dropped to a poor 20% or so. so, the
real problem and challange is to memorise the abstract and meaningless
string that acts as a peg / trigger to the memory. How wud u do that...and
preferably...is there a way to recall independent of the string once it's
been used 2-3 times bcos that shud be the ultimate aim anyway?

with metta
PG
