But sir if you can discover or invent how surrounding mem mapped notes could help you find new ideas to invent new thing or repitative tangeble design..pls let me know
@@Mr_ST_720 You raise a very good point. You're saying the technique I talk about is nothing new; it's been used in India for 25 years. Please realize the video talks about when I started using this technique in 1980...that's 43 YEARS ago. As you read the comments and look at the number of views this video has received, it's obvious that although this technique has been around for a long time, it's still new to many people. A great deal of personal improvement isn't inventing new things; it's taking advantage of what's already here that we didn't know about. Your question asks about developing new ideas. Would you agree that new ideas often come from combining ideas already available? For example, the invention of the airplane was new. However, the idea of flight was old, and examples of flight were demonstrated every day by countless birds flying outside houses. So, the question becomes this: "How do I trap valuable information around me and organize it so that my system makes it easy to see this information and combine it in ways others haven't thought of before? History tells us about the notebooks of famous inventors who kept notebooks and referenced their notes in their attempts to bring something new to the world. In today's world, digital notes serve that purpose. Evernote, OneNote, Apple Notes, Notion, Joplin, Bear, Obsidian, and Google Keep are just a few of the applications available today. Personally, I use Evernote and used it daily for around 11 years. Of course, now we're no longer talking about memorization but instead developing a reference system available anytime and from anywhere. Yes, we can find good information through an Internet search. But once we have found relevant information, our systems allow us to trap that relevant information so we never have to search for it again. Our digital notes become our own personal Internet that contains a manageable amount of information very relevant to our own needs. To give you one example, I am planning to do a blog post and video on this video...by far my most viewed video. I think the point you raise (without referencing you personally) and my thoughts in response would be valuable. So, in the moment, even before hitting the "Reply" button, I have copied the information, hit a keyboard shortcut that creates a new note in Evernote, and pasted the information on a new note. Now, I can move on. I no longer have to remember to come back to this comment. It's trapped in a place where I will see it in Evernote and can use it for something new...a new blog post and video. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment, and I hope that you will explore other videos I have done that will be of value to you.

Very nice summary! Could you elaborate on what you used (ChatGPT, another AI model) and your steps? You have a nice summary of the points I made in chronological order plus overall comments about the material. Thanks for a summary that would accurately help others understand what's in the video before they begin.
It's a training. As a Muslim, I used to memorize Quran for long time. That helps me to memorize everything. For example, if you say any phone No. in front of me, I can repeat all at once. Even for foreign language, my mind used to record what the person said without understanding the language.
So u memorize the Koran without understanding it I assume, this is what makes Islam a scary religion, being fanatic without understanding. Islam is a great religion, a gentle religion, not knowing the language and being ready to die for that is not what prophet Mohamed wants . U shdnt b3 proud of memorizing something u don’t understand
@@carolmartha8449I believe that it's the person's fault for not understanding the Qur'an. Islam clearly tells us to not follow/believe anything blindly, rather we should study and do our research of the subject. Thus if a person only memorizes the text without understanding it's their fault and not of Islam
Your introduction is outstanding, I felt as if I was in the class room with the students, spell bound and hung on the importance of developing and adding this skill to my arsenal.
You just taught this so simply using a story. I love how you kept it so simple, no screen changes, no speedy speech, just simple story. I'm going places this coming test
Wow, very inspirational! I like how your video is straight to the point. Not filled with useless info or ads for paid courses. Those 7 minutes are as long or short as they need to be! Keep up the good work! I am studying for my final exam right now, is tough because I fell behind with the study and now I have a lot more than expected, but I believe in myself that I can go forward no matter what and this is what really matters.
Thank you for the kind words! I try to make things practical and helpful. I wish you the best on your final exam and as you go forward into your chosen profession!
Thank you Mr Buck - I completely agree with you. I discovered "PLACES" after I'd graduated from High School, and I then used it very successfully in both my Engineering degree and then (especially) in my JD. These days I try to encourage other students and business clients to use the learned-faculty too!
That's an amazing trick, because I know this piece of trickery from when I was in my elementary school, that if I see one side of my roof class I will remember a topic. But I just stop there, cause that 1 side of the roof is already containing just one topic. Your trick related to that in very smart ideas to put my whole material in my whole house. Thank you so much. I'm in my 23rd doing a college and work and tomorrow I will do my last test, anyway.
This video popped up in my life at the perfect moment - exams are looming, and no matter how much I dive into the books, and for how many hours I study, I still don't quite have a complete mastery of the theory down to the last detail. Your insights really clicked for me. I genuinely believe it could revolutionize how I approach studying - and this, for life. Can't thank you enough!
OK, so you watch the video, your exams have come and gone. Give us an update on how the results went. Did you follow the technique or was it all just hot air for you

Sir, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I'll apply it right away for my next history and biology tests, I always have trouble memorizing that many concepts on that specific subjects, thank you:D
I don't even understand how to visualize the entire 57 pages(it's literally extreme). I think I'll forget the first room when i am on page 2 or 3. For a single paragraph this technique seems very efficient and long term but 57 pages i cant even get how to do it.
@@ibrahimcagrcelik7838 this method is waste of time you need many places and rooms to recall them ... And when you may also confuse which place is associated to which thing in long run like if you studied different subjects ...at a time
Can agree that this method is effective. I do this for geography except i have the world map in my head and as I move through my case studies new countries become 'unlocked' and it forms a connected story. I normally start with China cause all my topics heavily feature China. I can zoom in and out of locations within countries too.
I think this is one of the most amazing ways to program our memories. Seriously it's like downloading files into our super computer. I do this all the time for my grocery list and memorizing decks of cards.
It was surprisingly easy to use. I haven't used it outside of academia...I'm pretty much a "write it down" person. But for those situations where memorization is important, this one is the way to go.
3:40 places (Story in the margins then studies stories only , posters on wall) 6:20 taking notes then when he re-do he transformed into series Of Qs and answers (excellent result got)
Thank you for stopping by and for the input from the standpoint of a medical student. This simple technique seems to work for a broad range of people. Thanks also for the kind words! I try to produce content that is enjoyable and easy for people to understand. 🎉
Thank you so much! I'm studying for the AL state life insurance exam. I imagined my backyard with a STOCK(yard) to HOLD all the cattle, but I wasn't PARTICIPATING in cleaning it up (non-participating). Now I won't ever be able to get that picture out of my brain.
Thank you so much for this video! I failed my history of music exam and I have to memorize 25 pages in 5 days, I will come back and tell you if this worked and what grade I got
Emily, good luck on your exam. By the way, I was a music major. My undergraduate music history class was the toughest class in any degree program including the doctorate. Let me know how things turn out!
What a fantastic technique Mr.Frank. The biggest issue I face when using this technique is the mental fog. I can remember the rooms but they are just foggy. This fogginess underlies the entire system and makes it nearly impossible to retrieve the "story" that I have built. Thats my biggest challenge.
Just watched this after reading the book ''Moonwalking with Einstein'', in which the author explains what Dr. Frank says, in detail. Great book, and a great video, sir.
Thank you so much for providing us with this study technique, growing up I never knew how to properly study and I heavily relied on my memorization skills to save me in exams, but sometimes I would forget something that I knew from my heart, I have a final exam on Sunday and I have a hundred pages of test material to go through, I will try this technique and keep you updated about my results ✨
Honestly, I'm learning English and this speech inspired me a lot. There were times when I wanted to give up. Thank you for being there to tell me that life is good. I wish you good health.
I am glad this video helped. So, you are just learning English? Your comment was perfect, and I can assure you that your English is 1,000,000 times better than my mastery of whatever your first language is.
thank you so much, sir, In Viet Nam we focus on ielts score very much, and mine just 5-5.5 and i am so self-deprecation cause it's no high score. Although , now i'm keeping up until i can learn, hear and understand totally what native speakers say, so your video complete helpful!@@drfrankbuck
@ Thank you Dr. I am preparing for medical school is there other techniques to memorize biology, It will be a lot helpful.I have been struggling to memorize from past 10 years.
wow, what a story! I can remember familiarising my notes with people in my family. I was a law student and I can remember the amount of dates I had to remember! so I remembered the cases and what they were all about and then I would link the names of the cases with Disney characters and also members of my family, Lol I passed my tests!
I love it! People remember things well through pictures and story. Yours is a fantastic example of linking what you are trying to remember to images that you know well.
@@kellynelove3808 Hi Kelly, absolutely just don't laugh at how I don't it though! so I am a Mum and a lone parent, my kids drive me up the wall, I have a lot of them! and I also come from a big family! so I am sure when you were young you would have nick names for some family members, or you would have pet names for your children ( if you have any) or maybe there are certain friends or people who you may or may not get on with! etc I have a son who has a big nose! and big ears! I can remember watching Harry Potter and Dobi reminded me of my son Lol, so I can remember when doing Criminal Litigation I had a question around a case ( cant remember the question but I do remember the case) it was R v Stone and Dobinson [1977] , so the last part was the name which I referred to Dobi as in Harry Potter, and I pictured Dobi as my son ( it was the case of Actus Reus) hence the case, of Liability etc. you get to remember the dates really easily so remember them like a syllabus e.g. say 1066 (battle of hastings) so on your hand do it like as if you are counting syllabus's so in this case 1977 so I would do it like 2 syllabus 19 and then 77, it kind of sticks in your head! I passed with flying colours. My older brother never passed an exam, until I would joke around on the cases and say they reminded me of so and so, he passed his exams, you need to read the case, and link it with a family member or Disney character and I promise you it would stick like mud! Let me know if you understand what I'm trying to say
I'm so glad I found this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm a Dutch student but some of our history classes are in English. I'm good at English but it will always take just a tad more effort to have to memorise things in your second or third language. Even if I am good at both languages I still use energy for translating! My exams are coming up and this is very useful. A lot of people really appreciate you sharing this with us. Thank you for making my academic life a bit easier and more fun😊
The technique that Mr Frank uses is called "PLACES": He takes a topic ,allocates a room for it and then mentally pastes pictures of the notes in the wall. He walks through different rooms imprinted with varied notes of different subjects. As soon as he is asked a question, he quickly visualises walking through those rooms
Good summary. You are right on target. Some also call it "Memory Palaces." Same thing. It makes it so easy to jump in at any point in your notes and talk in depth. You can go forward to the next room or go backwards from room to room.
This would be great for you. You could start at any place in your notes and start taking your "mental trip" from that point. If you forget something, you won't have forgotten everything thereafter. You just move to the next room and start talking about that one! Good luck!
What a great video. I read the Memory Book many years ago. Aren’t the authors Jerry West and Harry Lorayne? Later in my life, I found I could keep the points in mind by paying attention to the transition points, and tell the sermon as a story. It worked for me, but I’m not sure it always worked for my listeners. Anyhow, you are telling good stuff, telling it well, and I’m grateful. Best wishes to you.
Jim, you are exactly right...Jerry West and Harry Lorayne. Running across that book was one of the best things I did to make senior year and every graduate program easier.
Everyone talks about how to remember everything, but no one mentions how to memorize a long paragraph or essay in a second language. In my first language, it’s a piece of cake.
This is a very good point. My video does not address that. and I have never had to memorize anything in another language. One thing comes to mind...I was a music major in college (flute). Voice majors had to perform, always from memory, in a variety of languages. I never asked friends how they approached this challenge.
I do 150 pages notes in single day for two weeks of exam. I have maintained cgpa of 7.6 for last two years of degree😊 Edit: study method i mentioned below may be lacking , but works for me and you too find what works for you
Glad you found it. I think you will enjoy this technique and find it useful. The channel is devoted to personal productivity, so you will find a wealth of information on organization and time management.
I haven't tried it but i feel like this will really help me out for i am a visual learner en been having dificilties keeping up with school work... Thank u so very much Prof🙏
The method of loci is a strategy for memory enhancement, which uses visualizations of familiar spatial environments in order to enhance the recall of information. The method of loci is also known as the memory journey, memory palace, journey method, memory spaces, or mind palace technique
😭😭😭I couldn’t be more grateful than this….thank you soo soo soo much Sir…You are a life’s saviour! I have 20 chapters to learn…but with this technique I believe in myself. It’s kind of like memory palace, I see why it works. Mainly because of the neurological connections it makes? I am really not sure but thank you!
My hobby is quizzing. It brings me into contact with a number of the world's top quizzers like Pat Gibson, Ken Jennings and Kevin Ashman. The claims made by these sort of videos occasionally makes me wonder why no Memory Champions are among the World Quiz Champions. Clearly the two require very different skills despite large amounts of memorisation being required for each.
What he is talking about is applied only if you are talking about specific topics? If you have to memories facts and data you can't do it this way and quizzerz have to do that. I prepare for exams where we have to literally remember some parts (it does hvae context but it's too long and the simple facts are too large in number and you can't memorise it that way. That method is applicable if you are doing some course and he said he applied it for history and it will work for history
That is helpfull!! Thaks for giving me a new perspective on how to learn for big tests and learn them with having some kind of a enjoyment in the proces while doing it...Amazing video! I'll reccomend it to buch of my friends that I know will appreciate all of the knowledge that you have given us!...
Two questions for you please: 1) how would you deal with the pieces of information if you decide to use these places to store other pieces of information? 2) how to distinguish the main elements from the sub-elements and know which follows which, for instance if you have : A-main title… then A.1 A.2 as Subordinates… then B-main title etc… ?
When you are done with the test, speech, or whatever purpose for which you memorized the material, you dump the information from your mind to make room for the next challenge. I still have the notebooks from college if I want to reference the information, but once the test was over, I no longer needed the detail. To answer the second question, the room serves as the major topic. People or objects in the room Tigger the details or subtopics. You could actually give a summary of a talk by mentally walking straight from one room to the next. At any point, you could stop and talk about the details of the room you are in. Hope this helps.
0:58 he must have been passionate about what he was teaching then, if u care enough about what u teach, u definitely dont need notes other than to simply keep on track

Very nice summary! Could you elaborate on what you used (ChatGPT, another AI model) and your steps? You have a nice summary of the points I made in chronological order plus overall comments about the material. Thanks for a summary that would accurately help others understand what's in the video before they begin.

It's a training. As a Muslim, I used to memorize Quran for long time. That helps me to memorize everything. For example, if you say any phone No. in front of me, I can repeat all at once. Even for foreign language, my mind used to record what the person said without understanding the language.
👏
So u memorize the Koran without understanding it I assume, this is what makes Islam a scary religion, being fanatic without understanding. Islam is a great religion, a gentle religion, not knowing the language and being ready to die for that is not what prophet Mohamed wants . U shdnt b3 proud of memorizing something u don’t understand
and you shouldnt comment without actually knowing the fact!@@carolmartha8449
@@carolmartha8449I believe that it's the person's fault for not understanding the Qur'an. Islam clearly tells us to not follow/believe anything blindly, rather we should study and do our research of the subject. Thus if a person only memorizes the text without understanding it's their fault and not of Islam
The creator almight put the scripture in peoples heart.
Your introduction is outstanding, I felt as if I was in the class room with the students, spell bound and hung on the importance of developing and adding this skill to my arsenal.
You just taught this so simply using a story. I love how you kept it so simple, no screen changes, no speedy speech, just simple story.
I'm going places this coming test
Thank you!
So what happened
You are giving it large on youtube
Give us an update please
Wow, very inspirational! I like how your video is straight to the point. Not filled with useless info or ads for paid courses. Those 7 minutes are as long or short as they need to be! Keep up the good work! I am studying for my final exam right now, is tough because I fell behind with the study and now I have a lot more than expected, but I believe in myself that I can go forward no matter what and this is what really matters.
Thank you for the kind words! I try to make things practical and helpful. I wish you the best on your final exam and as you go forward into your chosen profession!
Thank you Mr Buck - I completely agree with you. I discovered "PLACES" after I'd graduated from High School, and I then used it very successfully in both my Engineering degree and then (especially) in my JD. These days I try to encourage other students and business clients to use the learned-faculty too!
You are an excellent example of how much this one little technique can make a big difference. Thanks for your thoughts!
That's an amazing trick, because I know this piece of trickery from when I was in my elementary school, that if I see one side of my roof class I will remember a topic. But I just stop there, cause that 1 side of the roof is already containing just one topic. Your trick related to that in very smart ideas to put my whole material in my whole house. Thank you so much. I'm in my 23rd doing a college and work and tomorrow I will do my last test, anyway.
You are wlecome!
This video popped up in my life at the perfect moment - exams are looming, and no matter how much I dive into the books, and for how many hours I study, I still don't quite have a complete mastery of the theory down to the last detail.
Your insights really clicked for me. I genuinely believe it could revolutionize how I approach studying - and this, for life.
Can't thank you enough!
Amélie, thank you so much for this thoughtful comment. This technique certainly made preparing for exams more enjoyable and far easier.
OK, so you watch the video, your exams have come and gone. Give us an update on how the results went. Did you follow the technique or was it all just hot air for you

Sir, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I'll apply it right away for my next history and biology tests, I always have trouble memorizing that many concepts on that specific subjects, thank you:D
tyty
I don't even understand how to visualize the entire 57 pages(it's literally extreme). I think I'll forget the first room when i am on page 2 or 3. For a single paragraph this technique seems very efficient and long term but 57 pages i cant even get how to do it.
@@ibrahimcagrcelik7838 this method is waste of time you need many places and rooms to recall them ... And when you may also confuse which place is associated to which thing in long run like if you studied different subjects ...at a time
❤Beautifull❤
Can agree that this method is effective. I do this for geography except i have the world map in my head and as I move through my case studies new countries become 'unlocked' and it forms a connected story. I normally start with China cause all my topics heavily feature China. I can zoom in and out of locations within countries too.
I love this example!
I think this is one of the most amazing ways to program our memories. Seriously it's like downloading files into our super computer. I do this all the time for my grocery list and memorizing decks of cards.
It was surprisingly easy to use. I haven't used it outside of academia...I'm pretty much a "write it down" person. But for those situations where memorization is important, this one is the way to go.
3:40 places (Story in the margins then studies stories only , posters on wall)
6:20 taking notes then when he re-do he transformed into series Of Qs and answers (excellent result got)
This is exactly why Sketchy works so well for medical students. Thank you for the insight, you’re an incredible speaker!
Thank you for stopping by and for the input from the standpoint of a medical student. This simple technique seems to work for a broad range of people. Thanks also for the kind words! I try to produce content that is enjoyable and easy for people to understand. 🎉
You are a really good speaker, I’m having a lot of fun listening.
Like your teacher, you too had me spellbound all throughout the video!
Thank you so much! I'm studying for the AL state life insurance exam. I imagined my backyard with a STOCK(yard) to HOLD all the cattle, but I wasn't PARTICIPATING in cleaning it up (non-participating). Now I won't ever be able to get that picture out of my brain.
We always say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." We remember pictures. GLad to hear this one helped on the exam.

How did it go?
@@femilydoncheva i have 50 pages i needa memorize by tmr for my rcm history exam 😭
25 pages is easy work, i had to memorise 8 chapters.
i had to memorise everything for my graduation exam of 9 subjects.... and it went good but congrats of your achievement
Love to see this video, this might be one of the videos that will help me through my course in college thanks, Sir Frank Buck.
What a fantastic technique Mr.Frank. The biggest issue I face when using this technique is the mental fog. I can remember the rooms but they are just foggy. This fogginess underlies the entire system and makes it nearly impossible to retrieve the "story" that I have built. Thats my biggest challenge.
Same here
Get enough rest calm ur heart
I really appreciate your support and effort for give us a tremendous advices ,for improve our knowledge , greetings from Bolivia ,
Martin, you are welcome. Glad you found this one helpful.
Thank you, I need to memorize a very long paragraph in 1 day for my performance task at school. I hope this will help me get a good score
You are welcome! I hope this technique is one that will serve you well for years to come.
THANK YOU SO MUCH wallahi it helped w my test today

I am from india and really on UA-cam there are non sense videos about memorizing tips but your is really helpfull really appreciate sir
Thank you very much for your comment! My aim is always to make videos that give people concepts they can implement in their own lives,
Gonna try this for Biology 🙌🏼
Just watched this after reading the book ''Moonwalking with Einstein'', in which the author explains what Dr. Frank says, in detail. Great book, and a great video, sir.
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much for providing us with this study technique, growing up I never knew how to properly study and I heavily relied on my memorization skills to save me in exams, but sometimes I would forget something that I knew from my heart, I have a final exam on Sunday and I have a hundred pages of test material to go through, I will try this technique and keep you updated about my results ✨
Thank you for this very thoughtful comment. I hope this technique will be helpful.
I'm waiting
How did Frank Buck's memorization technique help for your Sunday exam?😊
Hey, how was the test?
Please update us 🙏🏻
Honestly, I'm learning English and this speech inspired me a lot. There were times when I wanted to give up. Thank you for being there to tell me that life is good. I wish you good health.
I am glad this video helped. So, you are just learning English? Your comment was perfect, and I can assure you that your English is 1,000,000 times better than my mastery of whatever your first language is.
thank you so much, sir, In Viet Nam we focus on ielts score very much, and mine just 5-5.5 and i am so self-deprecation cause it's no high score. Although , now i'm keeping up until i can learn, hear and understand totally what native speakers say, so your video complete helpful!@@drfrankbuck

wow, what a story! I can remember familiarising my notes with people in my family. I was a law student and I can remember the amount of dates I had to remember! so I remembered the cases and what they were all about and then I would link the names of the cases with Disney characters and also members of my family, Lol I passed my tests!
I love it! People remember things well through pictures and story. Yours is a fantastic example of linking what you are trying to remember to images that you know well.
Can you please give an example on how you did it? I'm a law student too
@@kellynelove3808 Hi Kelly, absolutely just don't laugh at how I don't it though! so I am a Mum and a lone parent, my kids drive me up the wall, I have a lot of them! and I also come from a big family! so I am sure when you were young you would have nick names for some family members, or you would have pet names for your children ( if you have any) or maybe there are certain friends or people who you may or may not get on with! etc
I have a son who has a big nose! and big ears! I can remember watching Harry Potter and Dobi reminded me of my son Lol, so I can remember when doing Criminal Litigation I had a question around a case ( cant remember the question but I do remember the case) it was R v Stone and Dobinson [1977] , so the last part was the name which I referred to Dobi as in Harry Potter, and I pictured Dobi as my son ( it was the case of Actus Reus) hence the case, of Liability etc. you get to remember the dates really easily so remember them like a syllabus e.g. say 1066 (battle of hastings) so on your hand do it like as if you are counting syllabus's so in this case 1977 so I would do it like 2 syllabus 19 and then 77, it kind of sticks in your head! I passed with flying colours.
My older brother never passed an exam, until I would joke around on the cases and say they reminded me of so and so, he passed his exams, you need to read the case, and link it with a family member or Disney character and I promise you it would stick like mud! Let me know if you understand what I'm trying to say

The key to memorization is repetition! Over and over again!
I'm so glad I found this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm a Dutch student but some of our history classes are in English. I'm good at English but it will always take just a tad more effort to have to memorise things in your second or third language. Even if I am good at both languages I still use energy for translating! My exams are coming up and this is very useful. A lot of people really appreciate you sharing this with us. Thank you for making my academic life a bit easier and more fun😊
Thanks for stopping by and for your thoughtful comment! I am glad this one is helping.
Summary: Use memory palace
Yeah, this call the theory of loci
thanks a lot😂😂😂👍
😂 Thanks
Really thanks man
Yes, but i cant it dosent work
Very respectable and very good information
Thank you!
Thank you for the book recomendation and for the lessons, Dr. I appreciate you.
You are welcome!
The technique that Mr Frank uses is called "PLACES": He takes a topic ,allocates a room for it and then mentally pastes pictures of the notes in the wall. He walks through different rooms imprinted with varied notes of different subjects. As soon as he is asked a question, he quickly visualises walking through those rooms
Good summary. You are right on target. Some also call it "Memory Palaces." Same thing. It makes it so easy to jump in at any point in your notes and talk in depth. You can go forward to the next room or go backwards from room to room.
Thank you old man tomorrow is my economics exam and I have 200+ pages of my book to memorize ✨
Is it helped ?
@@Warriorg878 nope, I mean I wasn't able to actually apply this advice because I honestly did not know how to even start
@@tanishq-kun ok ok
@@tanishq-kunwell how did the exam go?
@@PullUpOrShutUp i failed 💀 but it was my fault , nothing to do with the old man's advice
Brilliant technique, Brillant explanation that somehow appeared on my wall 3 days before the exams , which I still didn't learn anything for
Thank you!
I'm finishing high school and i have to explain 25 pages to my professors,they are all really detailed so im hoping this will work :')
This would be great for you. You could start at any place in your notes and start taking your "mental trip" from that point. If you forget something, you won't have forgotten everything thereafter. You just move to the next room and start talking about that one! Good luck!
DID IT?
@@drfrankbuck thanks 🙏👍
I'm so lucky to find this video today, this is exactly what I need
What a great video. I read the Memory Book many years ago. Aren’t the authors Jerry West and Harry Lorayne? Later in my life, I found I could keep the points in mind by paying attention to the transition points, and tell the sermon as a story. It worked for me, but I’m not sure it always worked for my listeners. Anyhow, you are telling good stuff, telling it well, and I’m grateful. Best wishes to you.
Jim, you are exactly right...Jerry West and Harry Lorayne. Running across that book was one of the best things I did to make senior year and every graduate program easier.
Everyone talks about how to remember everything, but no one mentions how to memorize a long paragraph or essay in a second language. In my first language, it’s a piece of cake.
This is a very good point. My video does not address that. and I have never had to memorize anything in another language.
One thing comes to mind...I was a music major in college (flute). Voice majors had to perform, always from memory, in a variety of languages. I never asked friends how they approached this challenge.
Please explain with examples, will be useful for students like me
Watch the entire vidoe
Very cool, thanks Frank. I really like your presentation style.
the Roman Rooms method! Great stuff and very effective for both short and long term uses!!

The method of loci is a strategy for memory enhancement, which uses visualizations of familiar spatial environments in order to enhance the recall of information. The method of loci is also known as the memory journey, memory palace, journey method, memory spaces, or mind palace technique

Plz tell me the results
Thank you sir , so much God bless u
😭😭😭I couldn’t be more grateful than this….thank you soo soo soo much Sir…You are a life’s saviour! I have 20 chapters to learn…but with this technique I believe in myself. It’s kind of like memory palace, I see why it works. Mainly because of the neurological connections it makes? I am really not sure but thank you!
You are very welcome. Yes, "memory palace" also known as "places" is exactly what this is.
My hobby is quizzing. It brings me into contact with a number of the world's top quizzers like Pat Gibson, Ken Jennings and Kevin Ashman. The claims made by these sort of videos occasionally makes me wonder why no Memory Champions are among the World Quiz Champions. Clearly the two require very different skills despite large amounts of memorisation being required for each.
What he is talking about is applied only if you are talking about specific topics? If you have to memories facts and data you can't do it this way and quizzerz have to do that. I prepare for exams where we have to literally remember some parts (it does hvae context but it's too long and the simple facts are too large in number and you can't memorise it that way. That method is applicable if you are doing some course and he said he applied it for history and it will work for history
That is helpfull!! Thaks for giving me a new perspective on how to learn for big tests and learn them with having some kind of a enjoyment in the proces while doing it...Amazing video! I'll reccomend it to buch of my friends that I know will appreciate all of the knowledge that you have given us!...
Thank you!
Two questions for you please:
1) how would you deal with the pieces of information if you decide to use these places to store other pieces of information?
2) how to distinguish the main elements from the sub-elements and know which follows which, for instance if you have : A-main title… then A.1 A.2 as Subordinates… then B-main title etc… ?
When you are done with the test, speech, or whatever purpose for which you memorized the material, you dump the information from your mind to make room for the next challenge. I still have the notebooks from college if I want to reference the information, but once the test was over, I no longer needed the detail. To answer the second question, the room serves as the major topic. People or objects in the room Tigger the details or subtopics. You could actually give a summary of a talk by mentally walking straight from one room to the next. At any point, you could stop and talk about the details of the room you are in. Hope this helps.
