"Things that are hard to bear are sweet to remember" Seneca.

Memory - what triggers a memory ?

Association.

Also, memories are primarily evoked by the senses

Touch
Sight
Taste

Sound

Words that have positive and / or negative meaning that express these senses

Colours can also express positive and negative emotions

Positive colours :

White
Yellow
Green


Negative colours :

Black
Purple
Red


Primary colours express action, power and movement

Secondary colours suggest restraint and reserve

Subdued colours are reflective and relaxing


Blue gives a sense of openess and freedom, like an open sky

Green and Brown are both Earth tones found in nature and tend to be muted and understated


The idea for my Mememory cards is a set that are an aid to combating Alzheimer's.

Looking at the idea of positive and negative reinforcement, any set must include both good and bad triggers. Without the bad, we cannot appreciate the good.

So, the cards should reflect both good and bad, use positive and negative space and show considered use of colour.

What is often used as a memory aid ?

Photos
Tattoos
Videos
Music


Also, what triggers long-term and short-term memory ?

Conversely, what blocks memory ?


Latin phrases that express a change ....

Tempus Fugit = Time Flies

Memento Mori = Remember that you will die.


The working title for my game....Use it or Lose it.



As for the recipe, I have chosen to aim my easy cook methods at the young men 18 - 26 years old. Those maybe living away from home for the first time, this would be bought by mothers and girlfriends as a gift. It's a fun gimmick that is simple and almost foolproof.

My recipe will be presented in the form of a flow chart. That is, a series of balloons that illustrate the number of ingredients and stages of cookery. The chart will be able to be left on the roll or torn off and used as a work surface and is a map for the ingredients to be laid out, in sequence.

The name of my product....SUPER NODALS.

A reference to cheap and easy food with a blokey and techy angle....

NODE is a connection point, either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint.
