The Story of the Stars and Memory Tricks
Albert E Wiggam discusses memory and forgetting with light Q A sections. He cites experiments and anecdotes about attempting to forget making thoughts more retrievable, and notes how effort to forget can paradoxically sharpen recall. The piece also touches personalities and attitudes, including reactions to anger and gender roles. It closes with a note on a Southeast Air Corps training center program saving over 500 pilots through intensive training.
