No. 15 is Miss Kornfeld. I would see millions (exag-
geration) of ears of corn falling from Miss Kornfeld's wide
mouth. Make sure that you look at Miss Kornfeld, and
actually see the picture or association in your mind's eye.
I have purposely used a wide assortment of names to
prove that it just doesn't make any difference as to the
type of name. You might want to go over these faces once,
quickly, to make sure you've made a strong enough asso-
ciation. Now, here are the same faces in a different order,
without their names. See if you can't fill in the fifteen spaces
under the pictures. When you've done so, check yourself
and be amazed at the improvement in your memory for
names and faces!
If you had any trouble at all recalling any of the names,
the reason is that you didn't make your association vivid
enough; you didn't actually see the association in your
mind's eye. If you did miss any, just look at the face again,
strengthen your association and try it again. You'll surely
remember them all on your second try. If you feel confident,
why not try that test in Chapter #3, and compare your
score now, with the score you originally made. Tomorrow,
or the day after, look at the fifteen faces pictured in this
chapter, and in Chapter #3, and you'll see that you still
know the names of all the people!
Keep in mind that if you can remember the names of
faces in pictures, you'll find it much easier to do when
actually meeting people. Aside from finding an outstanding
feature more easily, there are many other things that can
be taken into consideration, such as: manner of speech,
speech defects, character, type of walk, manner of bearing,
and so on.
If you happened to be at an affair, and wanted to showoff
by memorizing the names of everyone present, you could
do it now, by using the systems you've just learned. You
