A child genius joined the likes of Charles Dickens, Stephen Hawking and David Attenborough after becoming the Royal Society of the Arts’ youngest fellow.
Monty Lord, 15, has broken numerous world records and gave a UN lecture about his research on the effects of kids using technology at bedtime. His accomplishments have now been recognized by the RSA, which is made up of the world’s brightest minds and advocates social progress and knowledge.
Last year, Monty set new world records by using his memory to identify 129 books by their first lines. Then he identified their titles by their lead characters from memory.
The keen reader likes choosing topics of books to encourage the written words. He became fascinated by the subject of memory when he completed a module in the subject while doing a long-distance course in psychology. The ambitious teen uses visual techniques to connect the characters to their titles.
He has created his own recall methods that have proven so successful during his record-breaking that he has been invited by two schools to train their students. Monty’s headteacher said, “We’ve had a real push to encourage our young people to believe that they can achieve anything that they put their minds to and Monty has done just that.”
