    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.
    You can always learn more about the method of Loci and the mind palace here: en.wikipedia.o...

    I've always used mind palace... but in a different way that is pretty unique. I have a fictional character within my mind palace who basically provides as the mind palaces personal librarian (Yes it's totally Sherlock Holmes/ Benedict Cumberbatch) I have my assigned character who I've somehow tricked into knowing everything for me (bear with me this sounds crazy) So within my own mind i'll ask the said person a question and they somehow answer as if there there own person knowing all the info before my concious self will so it's basically... me talking to myself... but it has never so failed i dunno lol >_

      i've always been quite imaginative when i was a kid i used to pretend i was a travaler in my own mind and could visit different realities. I would live out a story i made up until it got boring i would then pause the story and walk into a portal and create a new world of my choosig and as that failed to amuse me in the long run ... i'd simply travel back to the old one. i ended up having up to 30 storys with different plots people and places spinning around in my head i always figured that this was a disadvatage but now i'm starting to see how i can use it as an advatage since i to this day remember the dialoges places and characthers.

    • @GoblinLord
      @GoblinLord 5 років тому +1

      Honestly, sure you have more room for data, but my tip is to create rooms, it's actually fairly simple, think of any apartment building or hotel you've ever been in, Room A has a Bed(1), a Chair(2), a Television(3), Room B has a couch(4), a clock(5), and a window(6), Room C has a pole(7), a Yoga ball(8) and a piece of paper(9)
      Ok so Bed is Dog, Dog jumping on the bed, or if you wanna get real creative, a dog that IS a bed
      Chair is a Mecha (because maybe you have a scifi comic you gotta work on), so now you've got this hyper technological mecha sitting on this cute little stool, hell, if you want, it can be sipping tea. In My opinion this whole Mind Palace thing is a LOT easier if you have a mind's eye, as in you can visualize things, think about how you can visualize things when you're drawing, and since you don't have to draw any of this (unless you're studying it to make it easier to remember the layout, which is a really good method)
      and MAKE SURE to make things crazy colors, I'm not kidding, imagining a purple glowing ice cream made of Bread is surprisingly easy to remember if you need to buy Ice Cream, luckily I draw all the time and have a well developed mind's eye (when I'm not tired) so I can easily visualize walking through at LEAST 3 different buildings, one is my current home, the other is the home I used to live in a few years ago, and the third is a hospital room because I spent so much time in there, I remember everything about the layout of that room, oddly enough, it didn't take much to remember the room, it just took me having to watch nothing but high school musical for weeks because I had pneumonia

For example you could have something that drags you into your shower and teleports you to the roof where there’s a staircase that leads up into a cloud which when you walk through the opening in the cloud, you see a throne with Ron on it who could tell you an extra 3 numbers as you walk past... e.t.c

    I've used this since before i knew what it ws. I've always had a knack with remembering random number and such and it's always because I memorized and phrased or fake pattern.
    In American schooling and I was giving an IEP (Individualized Education Program) at the start of my fourth grade,. A class for kids who are slow but not disabled. My main issue was reading, because I am dyslexic. This would cause me to talk more time to read, but in my reading test I always spoke more words then I read. Describing word for word what I had read, as well as my take and my methods for the memoriztion. By the end of the 4th grade my IEP was gone and I was an honor student.
    This does work. You just have to have imagination.

    Oh! This reminds me of the whole trick where if you want to remember whether or not you did something you'll want to say something completely ridiculous while doing the task. Like "MALARKY!" that way you associate the action with the weird thing you said and can recall the turn of events much better.
    I've always had a mind person in my head that will morph and act as a person I know based off of info I know about them. This leads me to stress test different questions and responses to essentially predict what might be their reaction to specific jokes, topics, questions as well as workshops different methods of questioning and conversing with them. Lately I havent been using it that much because of continuous friend drama, which I typically try to nip in the bud because drama is cringe, tends to make you appreciate being peacefully alone.

    How many slots should a memory palace have?
    How do you prevent different lists of info from getting mixed together?

      1. Just add more. USe more rooms or other homes you are familiar with
      2. Depends on how much you want to memorize! At least 50 though I would think
      3. If the topics are different you should not get confuse. If they are the same type of topic us a different house

    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.

    How can you memorize more than one list. Say in the first list 1=dog, 2=tree and 3=cat. But in a different list 1=horse, 2=pencil and 3=walrus. Do I need to make a new palace for each new list? Won't it be confusing if there is more than one thing associated with each number(piece of furniture). How can you avoid mixing the lists?

  • @methods3110
    @methods3110 3 роки тому +4

    The big problem with this system is that if you want to memorize many items at different times you are going to run out of mind palace lists to associate with. This means you are going to have to use the same lists again and again and it can lead to confusing new items to be learnt with old items already learnt. Fortunately we forget the old items and the new items are much fresher in our mind, rather like wiping a blackboard clean and putting up new writing. The only way to reduce this problem is to have many mind palace lists. If you were a medical student and needed to memorize 10000 items you can see the problem clearly because all the items need to be constantly refreshed.

      You’d be surprised what can qualify as “memory palace”
      I’ve used things like props from music videos, specific towns or fictional areas from video games or books or art, schematics of car engines, to even the way I prep my kitchen for specific recipes.
      I run pretty often (about 16 miles a week) and a path on a trail is completely different based on seasons.
      Some of my mental places aren’t even necessarily “places.” Recently it’s been musical rearrangements of piano songs or the steps to a choreography i’m learning. For a while I used chess positions from memorable games since they always tell a story. What’s the current tension of the game like, how did we get into this position, and even more if it’s a historical game.
      Once you get good at it, your imagination will go out it’s way to find associations for palaces. It almost reawakens. Your mundane car seat and cockpit can easily become a trip to Saturn in spaceship with each functionality becoming uniquely special to you. Maybe the sun visors you interpret as aim assist lenses.
      When you pick up a toothbrush or a comb and pretend your singing on stage, what does that stage look like? Where is it at? How’s the weather if it’s an outdoor stage? Boom, a new mental palace you can reliably recall depending on the song you were listening too
      Hope this helps!
