Myth's 5-10

Myth 5: Some people are blessed with Photographic memories.
This myth, which I highly believed was true, was proven wrong. People who are said to have this are just people who have better trained memories.
Myth 6: People are too old/young to improve their memories:
The author explains this myth vaguely. The general idea established is that kids 7-8 can be taught most memory techniques, as can most of the elderly. He does give a good metaphor: You can't teach an old dog new tricks. He states that the better metaphor is: The quickest way to become an old dog is to quit learning new tricks.
Myth 7: Memory, like a muscle, benefits from exercise:
The main focus says that this is technically true, but what you do during that practice is more important than the amount. This can be said for all practice.
Myth 8: A trained memory never forgets:
Even a master of memory forgets things. Technically, we never truly forget things, but we just have trouble getting out the memory that is already stored.
Myth 9: Remembering too much can clutter your mind:
Your memory capacity is virtually unlimited. Organizing the information will help keep the clutter under control.
Myth 10: People only use 10 percent of their mental potential:
This is the one myth that still remains a mystery because it is impossible to trace.
