I have been teaching memory training seminars for years and this Mind Palace technique is without question my best memory training tip!
Sherlock Holmes used the Mind Palace in his stories. It is also referred to as the Memory Palace. Whether you call it the Mind Palace or the Memory Palace it is one of the most trusted memory techniques of top memory experts around the world. Although it was referenced in Sherlock Holmes books it actually dates back as far as 2500 years ago.
The core of the Mind Palace technique is that you use rooms in your head to store whatever it is that you want to memorize. It is an amazing memory training tool.
For example look around your room right now and number 5 pieces of furniture. Then you have 5 words to memorize: water, dog, sand, paper and cloud. On the first piece of furniture you may imagine water pouring down, a dog barking at the number two piece of furniture, a sand castle on the next, stacks of paper on the next and a cloud covering the 5th one. Then to recall the words you simply go back in your mind an look at each piece of furniture.
This method is known as the Mind Palace or Memory Palace and some have called it the Roman Room (because the Romans were the first to use it).
You can use the Mind Palace to give speeches without notes, memorize lines, memorize schoolwork, memorize chapters of books and just about anything. I used it to set the record for the fastest to memorize a deck of cards in the USA.
Of all my how to memorize techniques the Mind Palace is without question my favorite. I have about 1300 items in my Mind Palace (no not all in my home. I used 30-40 different locations)
So if you are looking for my best memory training tip this is definitely it.

what if you want to memorize a definition ?
This is stellar, would you be open to an AMA on r/ClassicalEducation?
How many pieces of information can you store that is considered “standard”?
how can i use this if i want learn text not just words?

I've used this technique to memorize a mexican restaurant menu. It's been 5 years and everytime I lay in my bed I think of Tacos.
ronnie white sir what if i have 10 subjects to memorize n i have a small house? i would like to use the memory palace
Hahahaha Lmao
LOL
lol dann gut gemacht!
Sammy Black nice and
My journey to remembering the rules of the universe and applying them on a consistent basis began here.
awesome!
Thank you very much Ron for this video. Before, it is hard for me to memorize a poem (it takes me 5 days to memorize through repetition) But now I can memorize 9 pages of our lessons in just 2 hours even though I have only 39 files in my house. Great video !
how
I've never really struggling with memorization, but now that you explained a mind palace, I realized it's because I already assign certain details to certain objects or pictures that make sense to me. However I forget them a lot as well. I'm excited to use this technique and improve my skill!
I look forward to hearing about your success
@@Brainathlete but how do you add difficult words on your furnitures
One of the best Memory Training videos that I've ever seen!! Awesome Graphics! Well explained!
+ronnie white Can you get around like 80 different words? Do you have to keep training:?
Only few human like him are generous to give free lesson here and know what he is talking
thank you yang
O boy o boy.your advise resolved my 10 year old quarrel with friends.i am out of stress and full of confidence.God bless you my gentleman.
Thank you Mr. White! I have started using this technique and I'm surprised at how amazing it is! It really works!!
I have just downloaded the ebook 'Mind palace' and it's brilliant, thanks a lot 🤩
Glad you like it!
I come from the brain Ninjas channel, I am thankful for having met you. Thank you, brilliant being. I love the palace memory technique. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🤗
Thanks for coming
Tried to do this because of sherlock holmes. After only a couple hours i was able to memorize the first 100 digits of pi!! this is so awesome👐
Dear Ron,
Thank you very much for the great video. I also happened to read your e book; you are obviously keen to help the society; the sign of a good human being. May God bless you always!
How would you memorise medical stuff? It would require so many objects
Nishant Gupta start small and once you practice enough youll get faster and better at it. Images will also start to fade into your permanent memory after a while so you wont have that much things in your mind palace
Mnemonics and word association. But its still hard. Theres just too many medical terms
You can have more than one mind palace. The first might be your house, but then if you need more room you could do it with your school, or with your workplace. As you do it more you will get better at it
Just take four or five houses or places connect them
Thank you Mr. Ron White.these tricks helped me a lot in my examinations
I followed it , Now i am interpol"s Consulting Detective :D
started a week go and now starting to get the hang of it at first it was my house then I drew a castle and drew stuff and now my memory palace is a castle
The memory palace is a very nice technique for remembering random data.
However, for more structured data the situation is more complicated. The structured data is often best remembered by actually learning the real connections between the concepts.
That is, by far, the most natural and best way to remember.
But, and a big, but (just one t...), there is still the need for some sort of memorization, for example what different concepts mean and such.
I have thought a lot about coming up with some way to structure and remember the more structured information mentioned without treating it as random and forgetting about the important connections. The memory palace is not really the right way to do that since the connections between concepts, which the palace gives naturally using the rooms, is not the part you want to remember by heart.
My subject in particular is Mathematics. It is best learned, not be memorizing stuff at random, but to understand connections between concepts. But there is still need to remember the concepts and what they stand for.
It feels like there should be some modified memory technique for this situation.
We need memory techniques that work for other problems !
Thanks Mr. Ron this method is really helpful to remember a lot of things.. 👍🏻👍🏻
question, if I use this to memorize a list of things, and then I want to memorize another list, what do I do with the first list I already memorize???

I know it's been 3 years but you can just make another mind palace.

Have you heard that people can own more than one house?
You have the coolest way of telling people to subscribe, hard to resist :-) And once again a great video!
Wow, thank you!
@@Brainathlete You are welcome!
i honestly think the memory palace requires me to memorize too many things initially just to memorize other things. i feel like i’m better at just visualizing the objects/numbers/concepts/words whatever i have to memorize in my head and just thinking about them a few times over. i feel like i’d get overwhelmed doing this, but i see how it could work for some. i just get overwhelmed easily
Imagine going to the grocery store and only being able to purchase with what you can carry. The Mind Palace is the cart to carry the groceries. Take 1 day and spend it on the mind palace then use it for the rest of your life
I use the location of the page of the info I remember. like the upper left hand corner has something about cells and their function. or I know that the middle of the book talks about essential oils and the front is massage techniques.
i really like this concept , currently im taking medical classes , im going to try utilize this
How do you remember a whole topic like this? For example. I m a med student so if there is a disease, it has a definition, cause, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical course, treatment. How to make sense of so many factors related to a topic, how to assign objects and what to do if u run out of rooms and furniture to designate?
To get up and running with indexing a new mind palace quickly, try this - number shapes : (0ball), 1needle, 2swan , 3handcuffs , 4sailboat , 5hook , 6elephant , 7boomerang , 8snowman , 9balloon, 10cutlery and a plate . Now place the needle in the first place of the room , the swan in the second place and so on...now with minimal effort, you can have 10 indexes in a room...thanks to the number shapes associated to each room item informs what the index is.
if you have 5 rooms/spaces , you now have ability to index 50 associations with very little effort! (actually 55 if you used the ball to).
+ronnie white I got the idea after using the major system (from a harry lorayne book) for a long while, I was so ingrained using major pegs that I didnt use story method lists at all. I used number shapes, number rhymes, also used alphabet(shapes and sounds list), indexed them against a standard object list (major) to map the alphabet index. After that it got to standard list of 00 to 100 in major pegs. Also had features such as 0black 1white 2red 3green 4blue 5fire 6earth 7wind 8snow 9water. Combining those to encode 6 digit chunks. Then later read about memory paths/palaces , my ingrained habit made me put the indexpegs in the path/palace as I did with alphabet and features (and many other experimental encodings). Next step was to get a way to hand over the idea of indexed palace/path efficiently, figured that number shapes most ppl learn in less than 2 mins...same for palaces.
if the want to expand, they could use number rhymes as 2nd digit index. And the use is still simplistic to use and learn for novices
+Pelle Chamliden if you asked about the number shapes, I recall the objects were mentioned in a psychology course together with number rhymes, thing is that The lists I keep for indexingand encoding has to be unique and clear and not collide with other objects , even in other lists...so one can combine them freely.
Ok I see! "Seeing" shapes often seems to converge between mnemonists. First I had 6elephant (trunk in sky) was 9elephant(trunk in ground/down) and even L-ephant(alpha-rhymes/sound) ,(which is often confusing more than helping).
I had 3 objects in each index first commonly used , and some collided with the alpha-rhymes/sound. So ditched L-ephant and 9elephant , when the property list was created , there you see 6earth ---> 6elephant , got earth property inspired from 9 (trunk in ground). For 8 i had (infinity/universe, racetrack,time glass,snowman) I had to pick the object that gave easiest access to a property association snowman ---> snow. If the property list could be really easy to get all the way (red green blue is the catch, many doesnt know about this RGB computer graphic thing) through all indexes , that would be nice. Then that would mean you could bootstrap almost anyone very fast by introducing number shapes , palace, index the palace with the number shapes , number rhymes and finally introduce property list induced from number shape index. Finally show the variant of PAO (Person action object) as a shape rhyme property combo.
how would I use it in a conversation, dialogue, monologue that is longer and not necessarily chronologically ordered on an obvious level?
How do you decide the number of rooms and number of items in each room to use to associate with new information?
I'm extremely forgetfull, and I want to become like sherlock. I hope I can do this.....
(edit, goddamn 14 year old me was... interesting.)
*hope
Im seeing this comment 2 years later. Have you made any progress?
@@leeannk3052 Hey, how's your progress so far?
she dont even remember writing this :-|
@@cinewire4996 xd
I have gave this method a shot, and it has helped me deeply memorize vocabulary. It is quite hard to use this to memorize poems, or sequences of numbers. Of course, I am in no way near to be an expert.
Fantastic video, very comprehensive.
Hey Ron,
It is amazing how well the mind palace works.
I was able to memorize the first 20 Digits of Pi by just reading them once.
But here's my question: Does it make sense to "save" several objects in one file?
Somehow I fear to get confused if I wanted to memorize some other numbers in the same files..
If you memorize a sequence of like 5 or 3 numbers in each file then you probably won't confuse them
1:08 I would not even remember that I wore a jacket when I arrived 🤣
Excellent quality content. I have stumbled upon your channel, and I love your content. What mental exercises do you recommend to sharpen your memory and ward off dementia and Alzheimer's that all ages can practice?
I do appreciate that I work a lot on content.
1. Social engagement is important and building connections with people
2. Health by eating good and exercise is important
3. Reducing stress is important
4. Challenging your brain maybe with memory work too :)
Reminds me a bit of dictionaries/maps in computer programming.
that's true
Thank you so much sir 🙏
What if i get 30 basketball players with there respective numbers. Like # 0 would be russell westbrook and #1 would be penny hardaway. I wonder if this would work
Very grateful Ron, thank you.
Very well explained. Thank you.
Got it memorized?
Thanks a ton times mannn!
thank you!
Hello, @ronniewhite, I'm an english teacher from Brazil and I've been working on memorizing all the grammar rules I can put my hands on and words list so I can pass it better to my students. I tried your mind palace technique yesterday and it worked marvelously! It didn't took me more than thirty minutes to get a how chapter into my brain. The problem is, I've got TONS of chapters, so how can I do that? Can I bundle together various informations in one room? Should I keep making more and more rooms? Thank you very much for your videos, I appreciate all your tips.
Oh also I have a great movie memory, can I use scenes or rooms of a movie as a memory palace?
You can change the color of the room for each chapter. Then you will just have to remember the colors of each chapter while using the same room.
Ronnie, how many palaces do you keep in your mind in order to use for lots of informartion (ie.: studying for a test)?
Thanks. :-)
+ronnie white How about 2000 kanji? Might need to buy a few house extensions.
+ronnie white Hi Ronnie, so would you use the same loci over and over again for different tests? If yes doesnt this confuse you if you're trying to recall those informations from your long time period after lets say 1 year. And if no, isnt it a hell of a work to come up with a new palace for every test? Especially if you have to memorize huge loads of informations.

+Jakub Donovan Jakub, Ronnie got a video that explains that...he says you can use the same spots for different information
Thanks! Good stuff
Hey Ron! I'm all away from Norway tuning in! I must say, this is just incredible! Thanks a lot for the tips! I do have one qouestion though:
Have you used the same house (your house) every single time since you started doing this or do you renew the location when you have used it several times?
You made this so many years ago, but my question would be how do you not get confused with the last "thing" you left on the chair or the computer. So #1 would have a lot of items everytime you try to remember something :) if that makes sense.
does this actually work? just finished watching the final problem by the way. it was awesome. hopefully season 5 is in the works

Great video Ron...very helpful :)
Great video. How do you stop earlier memory associations interfering with what you are trying to memorise now? Also, is there a good way of memorising numbers with a mind palace?
2 decade omg how did u approach it . To know about this techniques it took me decade
Underrated

What's the point of only having a good memory. A bad computer can beat that. It's innovation that makes humans special.
How would I remember texts or information?
Jokes on you I live in a 1 room appartment
Actually sounds like the jokes on you...
Thanks a lot
I have a doubt? For memorising one such thing it is fine. What if you have to memorise different things on different days and store everything in mind. Since we are storing in the same place the things will not get collabrated?
Awesome mate ..
Thank you very much
This technique helps you to remember only a list type question
Just curious, at the time of making this video, did you buy a new computer or something related to a computer? Great video, by the way. Helped me a lot.
This is so interesting
how to remember sections of act.... for instance section 22 A is for change of name of the companies.... how to do this ???
Great video! Thanks 😎😎😎
Welcome
question
Should sites be numbered and memorized by numbers, or is it enough to know them?
Thanks
Can say which time is suitable to read (ex: early morning, evening, late night) so that we can remember easy?
Thank You for you video.
hey will you please make the last point more clear
Which book would you recommend Ron for remembering history dates events places names and polity ?
Forget this thing of a house, get a open world game that you play a lot subdivide it in areas for diferents subjects and use the points of references of this areas to memorize everything you need too know.
I know the concept is right, it really works and I am learning latin with it but it have a big flaw when it comes to pratice, it works only for more imediate things you need to memorize, but it doesnt help to learn things. The problem is caused because of the small amount numbers of things to link to your memory in your house, and you cant link the same object twice for a diferent information because it will be confuse as hell. Thats why you need a big terrain with many objects to link everything, you cant go to the streets look for new areas because its a big waste of time, so what will you do? You buy a open world game. A video game with a imense world like GTA, Skyrim, Witcher, XEnoblade and do this stuff inside the game.
you will need look for news areas to expand the palace every time you want to learn a new subject, it is just waste of time. And if you got some problem associating the information with the place you will need to go back to see it again or to look for other reference point in this unfamiliar street unless you got pictures.
Hi
1) How to expand memory palace? For instance i want to memorize 1000 object. According to your technique i need 200 room with 5 object in each. I do not know place with 200 room. What could you advice?
2) Can I use the same memory palace for different texts. Will objects overlap?
nice video. I enjoyed the video and got the idea. I have a question. how much information do u store in one furniture? For example, when you memorize a poem, do you use only one furniture for the whole poem or use one for each line or so? thx
Hello, Ron!
I'm writing to you because I have a question about storing in the Mind Palace. I imagine the Palace is something that has a finite storage space, hence I'm uncomprehending in the face of remembering broader curriculum via this technique.
To make my question more concrete, let me share with you that I'm a Chemistry major. Let's say I have 50 locations in my Mind Palace, but I want to memorise the Periodic Table, which is basically a list that consists of 100+ elements. So how do I use those given 50 locations in order to remember the entirety of the Periodic Table?
Also, obviously it would be much more convenient for me to learn this field of science with the Mind Palace technique, but I imagine the curriculum I have to learn takes much more space than that can be found in my Palace.
Could you give me any advices regarding this problem? I basically want to know how to store "infinite" amount of knowledge in a "finite" space.
Thank you in advance!
not an expert but it occurred to me that you may want to use an "infinite" palace for "infinite" subjects. for example you can use a Hotel with as many rooms as you wish, or not even a building. im thinking something more like a walk along a river and you just keep encountering new things along the way. as many things as you need. Or maybe use people like i do, i associate one person to one subject, someone that i know hence is easier for me to remember their "face or reaction" to the subject i assign them. if you dont know that many people just think about all the tv shows you've watched in your life and you will could potentially have as many "people" as you need, maybe more than 100. i hope this works!
Hey thanks for the technique. Ive been using it since 3days and it works. Ive memorized 50 key words so far for my exam. The only problem is that im running out of places that i remember. I need to memorize 500 key words. what should i do?
heyy can u plz tell me how to do first ? is it to memorize all the numbuered items?
the method is working I can memorys a set of cards by imagine objects and a few personos as king(gods) and jack(animals) but the thing is is still forgot when I memo some new room. I have imagined a stable insteed of horses I have got this method/.and is fine but I still forget
+Graber23 That sometimes happen to me too.

...I live in a single room. >.>
+C.E. Schetzle you dont need to use only your house. You could use the room in your house and other places like school, or work in addition to that room.
+Kuroi Chi I was just being cheeky. The concept is of course applicable to other situations.
Lucas Santos That's actually a brilliant idea. I bet something like a Minecraft world would be awesome for that too.
hi your sodium in water explosion is explained wrongly. The explosion is because as Na dissolves more and more positive charge accumulates and at a certain point it cannot hold it as positive repel positive, therefore it explodes. So the explosion is not because of the H2 forming. This is called a coulombic explosion.
Thanks man
Thank you so much dude
hi ronnie, iam your very big fan .i am getting unnecessary negative thoughts about anyhting while reading or while doing an action.help me out !!!!!!!
I've got a book which tries to teach you how to memorise lists of objects. It says,
"Don't try to memorise the articles as one one big list. Split them up into a number of smaller lists, such as articles seen outdoors, articles seen in the house, etc."
Can anyone think of any other lists or categories I could split them into? Thanks.
I really need help on creating my own mind palace, I've been watching all your videos about mind palace. Everytime I try to remember things, I visualize them but after a few minutes i forget it.
me too! It's pretty difficult!
only the mindpalace wont work, I am not a mind athlete but I have some tips for you,, 1st work out your brute memory with games as brain age, learn other memorization techiniques to reinforce the memorization in the mind palace, divide the mind palace in areas for same subjects. Visitthe mind palace regularly to fix any trouble.
Subscribed.. thanks for making this vid
Hi, really interesting everything you share! Thanks very much for it, one quick question; do you think it is possible to use these techniques to learn a language faster? And could apply to music? Like developing the internal ear, etc, what are you thoughts on this?thanks!
I think you could use it to memorize the core 300 words or so of a language but immersion and practice is really what helps learn a language
How would you be able to know that say the sofa is the 13th location in your palace without going back through each location in order and counting them?
have 5 in each room. This way you know last one in room 1 is 5, last one in room 2 is 10, last one in room 3 is 15. This will help you learn the numbers
Ron White Memory Expert - Memory Training & Brain Training - thank you very much! I appreciate the help.
thank you for the question!
How can you use mind palace to remember digits of pi
I have a difficult time with this especially when the words I need to memorize are something like "sovereignty" or "social justice". I don't know what to imagine to match the items/places I've chosen. Its even more difficult when what I need to memorize are full sentences such as requisites for a certain legal ground to apply. Sadly mnemonics doesn't work well with me too.
did it finally work
Welcome to the mindscape kid!!
So what if you run out of rooms? Do you just override them with new information? If want to keep using this technique, wouldn't I need an infinite number of rooms to store new information?
Use your friends house, your work, your school, sports stadium, downtown, coffee show, family members home. You will never run out!
I am confused this is great and all for simple stuff, but what about more difficult things? For example I am in high school and I am studying Spanish, Ap Stats, Lit, History etc... how can I use this for those subjects. Sometimes I am reading so much information and especially for Spanish I don't know how to associate keywords with words I know.
great work sir.
can u tell me how to apply this technique for learning economics, polity, constitution, geography and history and each subject contains 5 to 7 books.
how can I remember all this subject contains? please explain
I have a question, can you use Mind Palace in the same location, but with a different set of information or not? (If you are lacking locations to set your mind palace.)
I have recently moved away from my old home where I've lived for most of my life. And I'm not entirely comfortable with using the furniture of this new house I'm in (I'm sharing with extended family) for my mind palace. I would be moving away pretty soon anyways. I've got the old place memorized and I'm more familiarized with it, naturally. Would it be less efficient if I used the furniture from back in my old house?
Welcome
question
I have 100 sites, do I need to know the part number 30, what is it?
Keep them in order without memorizing their numbers in each room 5 things
Thanks
What use would this have? And I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. I'm so confused.
Same xD I dont know how we would use this in our lif
what if you where given two sets of data , then there is a chance that lists may get mingled up...???
How can I reuse the same mind palace for a different set of data?
My mind palace is a hospital, it has 10 levels by the way... It's huge haha
Hi Ron! Hope you can read my question.. But, why just 5 items each room?
+ronnie white Thanks a lot Ron! I kept watching a lot of your videos and couldn't find the answer to that little question.. However, If my goal were to memorize 50 or 100 words to learn a new language, that means I should always have a palace with 10 rooms in them or reinvent new rooms to sum that number?
