World memory champion Ben Pridmore on East Midlands Today

[Spyez]

This guy is BEAST.

[roughryder5]

he was probably acing his exams in school with that brain

[zirchi]

YOU DONT GET IT!!! He trained his brain we all have potential. Anyone can do it you just need to commit. But notions like natural GENIUS hold people back from their potential. All you need is passion in life.

well autistic savants have better memory than even ben pridmore... they are born like that though

[zirchi]

Everything comes from something, The brain is wired to work from Associative memory. GO learn about memory. I suggest the book "THE MEMORY BOOK". All Memory is based on association. Nature can always be explained we just dont always know all the details!

[pup101]

i never said your memory power couldn't be improved but i did say that having the memory of an autistic savant like Kim Peek is probably still out of our reach..... even the greatest memory champions couldn't compete with him... he remembers 98% of everything he hears,sees,reads, etc without effort... and i have a great memory already i don't care for your books.....some people are born at an advantage and it can't be denied..

[zirchi]

You are only telling part of the story. Alot of the time there is a disability attached to the heightened sense. Its nature. I would like to know more about Kim Peek I doubt you are getting the whole story.

[pup101]

yeah he does have disabillities but as far as memory goes he doesnt and isnt that what we are talking about?

[GloriousAnonymity]

I'm surprised someone with a legit eidetic memory hasn't broken the world record yet. You would think that they could just spread the cards out on a table and take a 'picture' and be done.

[Vire70]

Savants aside I don't think anyone actually has a 'photographic' memory like that.

[pup101]

would they even be allowed to compete?

[shazzybway]

HAHAHAHAH

[holahijosdeberga]

some people, like adults don't know that wend playing video games you are using/ training your memory and wend playing time/speed video games can give you a good brain exercise . so thats why most of the adult people suck at playing video games and so i hate it wend they say that video games are a waste of time wend they don't even know how to play then. ...???

[c00m8zy]

hahahhahaha legend but funny voice

[roblowe777]

I remembered my mum's birthday this year, I remembered to buy her a card too. If I use your memory technique will this mean I will remember my mum's birthday very often every year?

i dunno cuz methods of Loci, Tony Buzan and Dominic O'Brien tell you how to memorize things but I'm not positive they teach you when to remember it. Search for these peoples' names to start boosting your memory, this is gonna blow your mind !
