Lynne Kelly

Lynne Kelly is an Australian researcher and educator known for exploring how humans have historically used memory techniques, called mnemonics, to remember vast amounts of information. She studies cultural practices like storytelling, song, dance, and ritual as natural memory aids, demonstrating how ancient societies preserved knowledge without writing. Kelly's work highlights the importance of these oral traditions and memory systems in human history, emphasizing their relevance today for learning and cultural preservation. Her insights bridge anthropology, education, and cognitive science, illustrating how understanding traditional memory methods can enhance modern learning strategies.
