Have you ever noticed that you can memorise some things easily and others you have to labour over endlessly to make them stick?

Recently I was reading an article on how actors are able to memorise and assimilate texts in such a short time space and with accuracy. How they do this feat was being analysed and successfully transferred to assist elderly persons suffering cognitive decline. 

So back to our students, could the way actors memorise lines in fact have some lessons that can help us all? Are there key elements that make a difference?
