44 Link Method of Memory
Plate and Donut—"See" yourself biting into a donut,
but it cracks in your mouth for it's a plate. Or, picture being
served dinner in a gigantic donut instead of a plate.
Donut and Automobile—You can "see" a large donut
driving an automobile; or, see yourself driving a gigantic
donut instead of a car.
Automobile and Coffee Pot—A large coffee pot is driving

before going on to the next one.

through your closed window. Try it! You will see that you
will go right through all the items without missing or for-
getting any of them.
Fantastic?? Unbelievable?? Yes! But, as you can see,
entirely plausible and possible. Why not try making your
