Memorization technique: Numbers & dates

[kraz450]

Just coincidents.....dosn't aplly in all cases I am gonna fail :(

[takashijoh]

@darrylsloan Do you know if I can use the techniques you use here to memorize tables of numbers (for e.g. statistical tables and present value tables) etc?. If yes, can you give me an outline of the steps to use to memorize tables of numbers?

[rubixor]

kind of ironic. Right now im supposed to be reading moonwalking with einstein for school. whoops

[CaptainGreen2008]

That last method for memorizing number is called the "Major Method" I believe. Useful for memorizing phones numbers and such. good video.

you should look at the book "Assimilative Memory". It is free if you search it on google and it is awesome

[juanx1400]

Have you read The military memory man by Ron White

[quantummandavid]

this is amazing thank you

[DatSkinnyWhiteGirl]

very very nice!

Why is memory so intimately connected to consciousness, and why is consciousness so intimately connected to philosophy?

Go figure, I studied memory about 2 years ago, and it eventually led me to philosophy. I didn't expect this video to show up, and its quite a surprise that Mr. Darryl Sloan is talking about human memory right here.

[TBucker]

Watched this vid yesterday and I still remember 340 and 1609. If you knew my usual memory (lack of) skills, you'd be mighty impressed.

[daimebaru]

Great! And I see there are some analogical similarities between this code/ way of memorising and the techniques I've been using myself for memorising around 2000 Japanese characters in the past 2 years.

Looking forward to see more videos from you, Darryl! :)

[akatsuki415]

Very interesting, I would try this but I learn best by hearing things.

[akatsuki415]

@akatsuki415 Looks like i was wrong about me not doing this I did this to remember the year 1623.

[StormCloudsGathering]

Very interesting approach. I'm going to see if it works for me. Did you make it up?

[WatchCharmedOnline]

Thanks, I needed that,

[SamHagagaga]

For some reason, my imagining a philosopher gets me Darwin.

[dedalus22]

BRILLIANT. You are the real stuff. a singularity on the web... im impressed.ITS the best way to learn.

[Zafarrtheafrican]

THANK YOU

[Niactz]

As all your other videos, this was very interesting :)

I think it'll help me a lot lol..

Thank you!

[lukegllcc]

when I need to remember numbers I just find groups of numbers and add them together. I don't know why but it just makes it easier for me when I can add a lot of numbers together to make one number.

[anzwertree]

favorite! 

[Sora657]

thanks darrly this really going to help me

[TheMoonKingdom]

That"s kind of cool; languages can be easier to learn in a similar way as well:)

[EmpoweredByKnowledge]

Excellent, thanks Daryl

[Ontologistics]

Great idea! I had read about picture & rhyme pegging, but never thought of pegging the numbers to letters. Rather, I only pegged numbers to images (e.g. 1 = pen, 2 = swan). This method is better - very useful, thanks!

[SexyMelon]

Holy hell, it works!

[virtuallad06]

hmphhhhh Interesting

[anashosamhasan]

@darrylsloan thanks that is very helpful

[xpidgeonx]

Very interesting stuff I am going to try and impliment this!

[endlessmountain]

Wow, i was saying in this video that you are saying stuff similar to what Derren Brown was saying as he uses rooms to remember stuff

I am the exception with numbers as they are easier for me to remember, but I am a numbers/math guy however.
