最强大脑：只需5步即可拥有超凡的记忆力 英文学以致用，领略语言之美。有道词典，不只是查单词，还带你看天下。 Ed Cooke， CEO and co-founder of Memrise， has an unusual background for an entrepreneur。 Forget business school or years as a consultant， Cooke spent most of his 20s competing in memory championships， winning competitions by performing heroic mental feats like memorizing the order of 16 decks of playing cards in under an hour。Memrise的创始人兼首席执行官埃德-库克（Ed Cooke）是一个有着不寻常背景的企业家。除去在商业学校上学和当咨询师的年月，库克几乎花了20年参加记忆力锦标赛，以展现英勇的脑力特技在竞赛中赢得胜利，比如在一个小时之内记住16副扑克牌的顺序。 This experience might be well often the beaten path for most business leaders， but it‘s actually perfect preparation for Cooke’s current role。 Memrise， if you‘re not already familiar with it， is an amazing tool to help people learn anything from science facts to a foreign language more quickly using fun associations to make new words or ideas stick （I’ve used it personally and absolutely endorse it for memorizing new vocabulary especially）。对于大多数商业领袖来说，这种经历太老套了，但是对于库克现在的角色来说确实是个再好不过的准备。Memrise网站，如果你对它还不了解的话，是一个非常神奇的工具，它能帮助人们运用有趣关联来展现新词或者观念导图的方法来学习从科学现象到外语等领域的知识。（我曾经亲自用过，特别赞同用这个工具来记忆单词）。 The company‘s approach is science backed -- Cooke’s co-founder is neuroscientist Greg Detre -- and draws on the latest research into learning and memory as well as Cooke‘s unusual expertise。公司所采用的方法是有科学依据的——库克的共同创始人是神经系统科学家格雷格-霍格（Greg Detre）——并且将最新的研究还有库克不寻常的专家建议加入到了学习和记忆中去。 The company is even currently running a test to discover which memorization techniques work the best of all。 So when Cooke got in touch recently offering to share tips with I readers， I told him to send them on over。 In his own words， here’s what Cooke suggests if you want to sharpen your own memory：公司现在正在运行一个测试来检测哪一个记忆方法最为有效。因此当库克得知要与I上的读者分享记忆贴士的时候，我告诉他将分享都发送过来。用他的话来说，如果你想迅速提高记忆力，以下就是库克的建议： 1、Location is key1、位置是关键 Quite a common experience is for context to mess with memory in quite a severe way。 For instance， you‘re in the kitchen， and you think “I must get my raincoat from the bedroom” and you head upstairs。 O
