Most learners do not forget because they are not paying attention.
They forget because information was never connected to something memorable.
Memory Anchors™ help learners connect information, ideas and actions to visual triggers that improve recall long after training has ended
What Is A Memory Anchor™?
A Memory Anchor™ is a visual, verbal or practical trigger that helps learners remember and apply important information after training has ended.
Because most learners forget training content quickly.
Memory Anchors™ create memorable reference points that help learners:
✓ Recall key concepts
✓ Connect ideas
✓ Apply learning in the workplace
✓ Retain information for longer
They transform learning from:
Information delivered
into
Information remembered.
Why Memory Anchors™ Matter

Memory Anchors™ help make learning stick.
