I have a similar technique. To remember names or anything i imagine it above the persons head. I also imagine lines from one thing to another. Or i just imagine what ever im trying to remember and do some sort of trick. Like writing it several times in my mind. For example instead of writing down lists on paper i do it in my head. I can still remember what i went to the grocery store from a year ago and how i wrote it in my head.
Because life is a matter of perspective. There is always more than one way to see a reality but the mistake we all tend to make about everything in our everyday life is to see life through dualities, thinking that there must always be only two sides of a coin to a reality which always forces us in the end to compare both of these sides and to annihilate one of these and to think that there is only one good perspective, which always leads us to miss the opportunity to see the other side as another way to live our life. In conclusion, thinking that everything must be black and white leads us to miss a lot of opportunities. As of the case with people with problems who become great later in life is a direct example of what this problem. Those people are seen as problems because the others are always tempted to compare their intelligence to theirs to think in the end that they are better whereas everyone is different and has its own intelligence which implies that everyone must be entitled to follow its own path. The matter is that we always tend to simplify reality.
Thank you for writing Quantum Memory Power. I listened to the audio book while driving, and while that's not the most conducive environment for reaching beta and theta waves, the course is amazing. I did extremely well on the last test - the one beginning with Robert (robber)/Blue socks, Caroline(electrical line)/microphone, and ending with Elizabeth(Taylor)/fountain pen. This morning I purchased a pack of cards, and while waiting to do some lab work began memorizing some of the number cards (2-6). I did a few tests with ten cards - the first I scored 8/10, so I strengthened a few weak associations, shuffled the cards and tried again... I still have the sequence memorized lol.. 3 spades 4 spades 2 spades 4 diamonds 6 diamonds 3 hearts 3 clubs 6 clubs 6 spades and 2 clubs it took me about a minute to memorize them. I look forward to working through the rest of the deck. Thank you.
Short answer... no. You've already learned the cards, numbers, and likely have tools for remembering names/faces as well. Much longer answer (haha): That's a good question. Quantum Memory Power is the only audiobook of his I own, the other audiobook on memory development is 4 cd (and bonus dvd) book by Harry Lorayne is splendid. Lorayne excels at helping students learn the peg system for numbers, and also has the most succinct method for connecting names to faces and memorizing numbers I've seen. I don't think there's a more efficient method. Plus there's a method for memorizing the periodic chart (not just the order of elements, but their location). I first listened to O'Brien's book last year (when I picked it up from Amazon). I listened to his book a few times while driving. His Journey Method (i.e. Memory Palace) works brilliantly for some things, like cards, and will definitely help with quickly learning toss-away things, like long digits of numbers for memory competitions, but there's the rub. If you want to transfer a sequence from Locii to long-term you won't be able to use that journey for some time (how long will depend on the individual) O'Brien references Lorayne's method for remembering faces, but only after using a lot of (what I thought of as) filler methods. The ALI - Association, Location, and Imagination would infer that associating the name to the person standing in front of you using with imagination would yield the best memory, and it does. As I mentioned above, the Journey/Memory Palace is useful for rapidly memorizing decks of cards and large numbers (essentially cramming). I have two decks of cards memorized, and will be adding a 3rd deck today, then recalling all three. I began creating my first card associations on February 15th, and recalled my first deck one week later (yeah, there's youtube video). By February 29th I added a 2nd deck, but over the intervening week I noticed a curious effect with the journey method. Memory artifacts will remain for much longer than the 12-24 hours O'Brien states. I've had artifacts last for weeks. Which highlights it's greatest weakness: unless you have a new journey ready each time you work on a deck of cards you'll find an old deck popping up. I currently have 3 card journeys: 1 single card trip, and 2 chunking-method trips (I began chunking almost immediately after learning cards the slow way, and it does improve speed and recall). The point is that you won't be able to reuse a given journey until well after you've transferred the information to your true memory (using things like the Ebbinghaus rule of 5 [which O'Brien explains in his book]) When I memorized the next 49 decimal places in the pi sequence (learning pi to the 100th decimal place), I used Lorayne's system, and comfortably learned the numbers in about 20 minutes - and added another 9:39 of review time to make sure they stuck (it was late at night, and I was tired). There was no journey involved, nothing to muddle up my associations, and it works quite well. Here are my simple associations - some of which contain five and six digits - learned while laying in bed. Had I spent a bit of time laying out the pegs I'm sure I could have reduced the number of links and increased their average per-word value, but I didn't care about that. I simply wanted to learn the sequence quickly. While learning 49 digits in 20 minutes isn't fast, it ain't too shabby (lol). I'll need to practice this method if I want to improve my speed. But I'm not truly concerned about speed (to some extent everyone is) but having a system in place to memorize things is far more valuable to me than learning a deck of cards in 60 seconds (thought that is a goal). Here is what I had already last year:3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105... And on the morning of 3/14 (at 1:30AM) I learned the following sequence: ViNeS - 820 BaKeR - 974 BeaReR - 944 LoBByiNG - 592 MuSiC - 307 FuDGeRS - 81640 Shiny FaShioNS - 628620 8998 - 8998 (it's a cool little sequence) JaNe Ate SeyMouR - 628034 ViNyL - 825 MoRoN - 342 DeDuCTS - 1170 Joke - 67 Bee - 9 I was laying in bed at the time, and grouped the numbers in my head. When I memorized the first set of numbers in pi (over a year ago) I wrote them out on a dry-erase board, and wrote the peg letters beneath them, and then I would create words and memorize a group of digits. The first batch took pi to the 29th decimal place. The next to the somewhere in the 30s, and the final batch to the 51st decimal place. Anyway, that's Lorayne's system. There is no journey/locii used. Simple associations. Quick. Efficient. No artifacts. Since you've already picked up the cards and other associations, I don't know if you'll glean any new insight. He doesn't go through associations for all of the cards (which would be pointless anyway) nor does he give pegs for numbers 0-99 (which Lorayne does and which is also somewhat pointless). My card associations have evolved over the past few weeks, and have become more efficient, and that's normal. Your associations will evolve, too.
Mr Messy Ahhhh.... ok... I'll give you a tip (from Lorayne's system) that will help you out a ton!!! One of Lorayne's most powerful tools is the peg system... that's how I learned pi, and some dates for both WWI amd WWII. Look at what I wrote when I learned the last 49 digits in 20 minutes..All of the capital letters are numbers... 1 - T and D (As in Toe, Too, and Due) 2 - N (As in No, Noah, and Now) 3 - M (As In Ma, May, and Moo) 4 - R (as in the ER sound in fathER, R sound as in Revenge) 5 - L (As in Law, and Low) 6 - soft G and J sound (As in Judge, Jury, and in words like purGE, Should, and buDGE). I added the SH myself for added word combos. 7 - hard K and G sounds (As in Cow, Cup, PuCK, GooGle, GoGGles, and Go) 8 - F and V (voiced and unvoiced) (As in Violin, and Fun) 9 - B and P (plosive and dental) (As in PoP, and BoB) 0 - S and Z (As in Zero and Sue) For a number like 76, you're looking at a K and a j/soft g/sh sound... which could be: CaSH, or GoSH, or GuSH, or Gouge. Then, when you link the number to the object you want to remember you already have the number in place! when l learned Shiny Fashions... that Sh/N/F/Sh/N/and S..628620. Boom! Once you get comfortable you can tweak it.. the word before that is Fudgers. Which should be 8640, but I had 5 numbers, so when I learned it I actively voiced the D (FuD-GeRS) to give me 81640...once you're comfortable you can bend the rules, but it's critical to be extra aware.. It works extremely well... and you'll never have to worry about confusing images. This link explains the Peg System, and even has tag up to 99. To be honest, I don't bother with these only because if I have 50 objects to learn I'll create the pegs while learning the list. thinkersplayground.com/the-peg-system-of-mnemonics-60c9516378be One other thing... playing cards. Don't start with the whole deck. When I started I learned 2s through 6s.... and would go through the cards over and over until the associations began to pop. Then I'd test the associations. If I did well I'd add a few more the next day. The face cards were learned on a 2.5hr drive. And throughout the day I would go through the whole deck in my head. 2C - Bing Crosby 2D - Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) 2H - Bob Hope 2S - Bruce Springsteen 3C - Charlie Chaplin 3D - Chris Deburgh 3H - Charleton Heston 3S - Charlie Sheen. for some I did themes. 8s are por-wrestlers, Queens are beautiful women, and 3 of the Kings are Writers. KC - Edgard Allen Poe (Raven) KD - Stephen King (Rich writer) KH - H.P. Lovecraft KS - well, not a writer lol... I went through the deck in my head a number of times after finishing the face cards, and a video taken the next day was my firsr deck :)
Mr Messy It's funny..... back in 2002 I was working with a co-worker and we were measuring the static pressure in the outlet manifold pf a 5-tower RTO (It's what I work on)... and he wanted to remember the reading, but didn't have anything readily available. I had just worked through the peg system and joked that I might be able to help.... the static pressure was -11.78"WC. Using the peg system I broke it down into groups of two.. 11 - which is two T(or D) sounds and 78 - K and F(or V) sound. Well... we were talking about women at the time, so I'll let you guess what word I used for 11. lol for 78 I used the word CaVe.. and imagined a Cave full of 11s. hahaha 15 years later and I still remember the damned thing. Create a silly, absurd image in your mind and you'll never forget it.
