“To be a better learner, you need to be better at registering,” he said.
Lucas used several examples of how people fail to register information, including asking the audience which U.S. president appears on the $20 bill. When the audience failed to know the answer, he explained how he has created a system of cartoons and images to help people remember and register information.
“When I was a boy, I wanted to see a pronoun. I wanted to create a way to give an identity to non-tangible words,” he said.
Lucas, or Dr. Memory, now sells learning material to help educate. The material ranges from learning Spanish to Bible verses. All of the courses are animated, and give images to words to help the viewer learn the given material.
One image to help a child remember the capital of Arkansas showed a backward R, holding a saw against a can that had a little rock on it. A child would see it as R-can-saw, with the capital being Little Rock.
“I’ve given a picture to every sound in the English language,” he said of his products. “You’ve never seen a sound, have ya?”
Lucas doesn’t ask to be paid for his seminars, but relies on donations and proceeds from his education materials.
“God called me to revolutionize the education system in America,” Lucas said.
