Abstract: The "Method of Loci"was applied to train subjects of children,adolescents, young,middle-aged and old adults on memory.Before and after training,subjects were tested on intellects, memory,and figural imagination.The purpose of this study was to analyze the relations and predictablity between these cognitive factors and the training effects.The results showed that: ①The performances of word and figure memory at pretest,Digit-Symbol Substitution (DSS),Vocabulary (VO) and figural imagination correlated significantly to memory at post-test; ②The relation between age and memory training effects was non-linearl;③Except VO,all cognitive factors might predict performances of word memory at post-test,and the performances of word memory at post-test,and DSS predicted figual transfer effects at post-test.

Key words: The Method of Loci”, Memory training, Age, Multiple regression
