Ask a Novel, Interesting Question to Remember Names and Introductions
Behavior expert John Levy has a knack for memorizing people’s names and how they first met. After the performance, he strives to create an unforgettable moment, usually by asking a question that will be uniquely answered.
You are not alone if you find it difficult to remember names . Levy says that novelty is the main factor that remains in our memory, so learning new and interesting information can help to highlight the moment.
For example, Levy recently met a top Tinder executive and asked her about the first thing most people ask her about. Men who use the dating app often nervously ask if Tinder employees can read guys’ messages to other users, she said. “Now I will never forget her!” He says.
We have many other techniques for remembering names , but Levy’s strategy seems simple enough to implement.
