  • it work.

  • This was great! I'm using this to memorize the books of the Bible for my final tomorrow! Thanks for the help.

  • Woah, I only went through that only once and I got each one right on the first try! Thanks for the study technique, I'll be sure to use it for my next test! :3

  • This was a nicely made and great video. While you were holding up those flash cards I was thinking to myself " How in the world am I going to memorize these!". Well, I guess I'll know them forever. Overall I think you did a great job making this video. You also have a good technique there too! ;-)

  • I like it s lot, thanks! Very helpful!

  • Holy cow! This really worked. I was able to recall everything by remembering the pictures. Thanks for sharing!

  • Im watching this for PSY class in Texas A&M. AAAAAYYY

  • That will definitely help me. I remember much more visually and by the end of this video I knew every art form you mentioned. Excellent memory device. Thank you.

  • Wow! You are awesome! thanks!

  • it helps me so much....THANK YOU

  • how can i make this work for math?!

  • @doosh1000 Math was tough for me too. The only way I made it through was to translate the formulas into images for myself. Try looking up Math and Mnemonics for additional information. Much more on the web about this stuff. Good Luck!

  • actually works AMAZINGLY WELL i recommend it to ANYONE, GIVE IT A SHOT

  • Awesome.., I'd like you to try it with Medical Terimology. I'll give it a try. Thanks

  • Fabulous technique, thanks for sharing. Would love to see more.

  • thanks very much sir.

  • Thank you. You are cute

  • Do you also use Roman Rooms? What is the best way to remember paragraphs? Basically tackle each word individually? I have read Scott Hagwood's book do you know any books better than that?

  • @IAMNOTAHUMANINC

    I am not familiar with that, but I know their is TONS of stuff out their. Just "google" around a bit.

  • I keep on getting bad grades in math!!!!! I know everything but when it comes to a quiz or test I blank out!!! I always have a C and am able to bring it up at the last moment to a low B.... Help!!!!!!

  • @ArtOfTeaching thanks! but one more thing...... for some reason im in advanced math..... i was better at math last year! i dont know what happened..... i mean my math teacher is great shes nice and she explains it all very well..... i just don't get why im in advanced and not in on-level......

  • Our brains change as we grow. Things we once found easy, take more time, things we had trouble with become easy. Even food likes and dislikes change. Personally, I am very bad at algebra, but geometry has always been easy for me... My spelling sucks, but I have written over 10 books... I hate tomatoes, but love Bruschetta... life is strange, go with it and enjoy.

  • holy crap! i memorized it! make some more!!

  • Cool I already did this with out realising!

  • I watched this video about a year an a half ago, and I still remember it all. AMAZING!!!

  • The part that annoys me is that i actually remembered all of these....well played....

  • Mr . ART OF TEACHING , i am from INDIA - the motherland of VEDIC maths .

    We feel proud to say that we have given the world the key shortcuts to various complex mathematical calculations . With no offense to my own nation , i would prefer to share , spread and teach SUCH techniques (the one in ur video) than VEDIC maths . The world needs it and the sad part is a Majority of them don't even know it ! This is a Great piece of work and i hope it spreads !

    God Bless ,

    Akshay Sharma.

  • @iceman00771 It sounds like YOU should make a video about VEDIC Math. Feel free to send me a link.

    Thank you.

  • @iceman00771 I also would like to watch a video of yours

  • This is great! I learned to tell a short story about whatever I'm trying to remember or teach others to remember. The more ridiculous the story, the easier all the parts of the story are to remember. This seems similar because you are making funny associations. I love it! Your vids are great. Thumbs up again.

  • Please send more clues

  • absolutely awesome. Thank you so much Mr. G. I'm an art history major and you just taught me something in Art History that I had knew but had not memorized and now I have in under 10 minutes. You rock and I'm going to be watching you videos often!

  • Brilliant! Thanks heaps

  • I love your method. Video not too long. Hopefully you made more. I will check now.

  • wow, that was great!

  • This is extremly useful what I want to know is can this technique be used to remember something has complicated has football plays like in john madden football video game are steps on how to shoot a basketball or a family recipe if you can please get back to me and great video by the way I still remember the list .

  • @outcastbeta , My experience says that YES this can be applied to any list of information you need to memorize. I used it this weekend to learn to count from 1 to 10 in chinese.

  • I used a bit of emergency Mnemonics yesterday when I was trying to cram law cases into my head before my exam:

    e.g. I imagined a fisherman pulling a bell out of the river near the exam centre. It was ringing really loudly. I asked him why it was ringing and he said "run, someone nearby has a knife!".

    Reminds me of Fisher v Bell in which a knife in a shop window was held to be an invitation to treat rather than an offer :)

    I find the more detail the better, really good advice ArtOfTeaching!

  • Thanks man! The idea wuth numerals is awesome! Everytime whenever I studied for history test I always had to create new system! Your words are really useful! Thanks alot!

  • WOW! I've been doing these type of things since I was a kid, making stories to make me remember things, people thought I was crazy but this is amazing! I memorized it immediately! Thank youu!

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks ,. It helps and i like the concvept. Thanks u so much for the pains u took to upload such videos. God bless you

  • Might seem silly but I know it works,used this to learn some Japanese phrases 15 years ago and still remember only those phrases!

  • There are many techniques, a good one is tying a string around the thoughts matters or objects, the more detailed the perception the better the recall, and let the subconscious do the rest.. Well that is how I was conditioned.

  • google it

  • hmmm.another way of associating numbers to pictures but what about numbers till hundreds?or two digit numbers?lets say 12-one is bun two is shoe-how do you make 12 then?

  • @jimbang You can combine visual elements or create your own associations beyond 10. If I went further this video would be too long. Start with these building blocks a build. Personally I use just 1-10 then tack on an alphabet mnemonic and if I need more I add on "Mapping." generally that's enough, I have never needed to go beyond that.

  • @sculie1 Use pictures to remember formulas. We have numbers here, now arange the images in a way to make it make sense. It is what I did to pass algebra.

    Part of the learning is coming up with clever visuals. As you make them, you remember them more too.

  • I really enjoy your methods of teaching, my mother is a grade eleven philosophy teacher and I find you share similar methods. Keep it up!

  • I did this and got a ninety eight on my report card! Thank you sooo much!

  • @liveyourlifeloudly: Glad it helped. It got me through college!

  • thats really awesome!!! thank u

  • getting started ...to memorize

  • Fantastic. I'm gonna be using that the next time I have to remember something.

  • Nice stuff. That was so simple. Blew my mind. Thanks.

  • thank you.

  • Thanks

  • 5*

    thanks

  • XD this works!

  • i like 10 zen instead of hen lol.

  • Thanks but The Memory book by Jerry lucas and Harry Lorain helped me pass all my exams with distinctions. It teaches the phonetics, link, association and chain methods in details. Even as i'm typing all this I feel that book to be the best...better than any other book on memory!!

  • Amazing stuff.. Im liking it :) Im practising these kind of memory techniques.. Two books i fully Recommend: Domenic O' Brien 'Learn to Remember' and 'Your memory' by Kenneth L Higbee.. :)

  • Very interesting, kudos on your technique!

  • nice to get the wheels turning .................

  • very goood gave me a new technique to remember..........

  • Very useful, thanks! :)

  • Thank you for making this video. It has really helped.

  • xDD gj

  • Excellent! I remebered everything the first time through! Thank you!

  • Thanks for taking the time to post this instructional video!

  • Thank you so much , but How can i use this way remember book or story ?

  • I would suggest outlining the story in list-form and using these techniques to remember names and key events.

    Stories themselves are visual, so you should remember the main stuff, use Mnemonics to remember testing details.

  • wow!! great video. Thank for putting it up!!

  • wonderful! very helpful. thanks.

  • Thanks for the link (remove spaces if you go there)

    This technique is called "Mapping" and a very good one! I have used it myself for many years.

  • This was great!!

  • There is a fascinating YouTube video entitled "How to Activate Your Photographic Memory". You can go way beyond speed reading and recall everything you've read.

  • he... I used this on an iq test for memory, and for memory, my IQ was like 130-140 (14)...

  • I assume you meant "Hey" not "he" ;-)

  • how about remembering math formulas? I nID HELP PLS

  • If you use my methods to change numbers into visual images, then you can re-write formulas as pictures to recall more easily.

    It ain't easy, but with a little work it can be done.

  • Oh okay , thanks for replying , i really appreciate that :D

  • I wish i had a teacher like you! thanks Mr. G! Youtube loves you!

  • Awesome video, i've been looking at how to improve my reading speed and randomly ended up on this video, but I found this very interesting..one question, is there a limit to how much/how fast a person can remember while practicing techniques like mnemonics?

  • Thanks... I really need good memoriazing technics for my Geography class. This will come on handy, What do you do when you have to memoriza more than 100 countries and capitals and locations?

  • Help PLZZ!! I used to absorb and retain information all at once without trying. I remembered everything I saw, heard, and did. And I could remember it for as long as I wanted to. I had intense concentration and my brain was like a sponge. 4th grade, I turned in a paper for science and my teacher came up to me and asked if I had used the book to write it. I had read the chapter a day before, but I didn't use it to write my paper. She wrote 100%, giggled and almost danced away. O_O was my reaction

  • As you age, your brain changes. It is common to have to change the way you learn as you age. Things that once interested you will become boring, things you never liked you will become interested in.

    NORMAL. If you have serious issues that make life difficult though, see a doctor to rule out a brain issue.

  • That makes sense. If there is something wrong with my brain though I'm going to be so pissed. -_- But I guess I'll go check anyway. Thanks. ^-^

  • And thank you once again, ArtOf, for this great video. Thx :)

  • Thanks alot m8! I always had a really, really bad memory in a way that I only remembered things I was interested in..You probably can imagine what disservice this was for me in school...

    I am hoping to finish my college here, but so far it's been hell to learn subjects like Anatomy and others. The more I learn it seems the more I forget, because it is a great volume of really boring subjects for me. My question is, could mnemonics improve short and long term memory of my brain after some time?

  • The more you use the techniques, the better you get at it and yes, things can improve.

  • I'm not really a visual learner, but this definitely helped! I remembered this so so quickly :) Can you use it to help remember definitions or speeches etc.?

  • Yes, if you can break it down into chunks, it is easier to remember. Check out mnemonics on Google for more.

  • heyy so using this technique how can i use it to memorize bartending drinks and their ingredients? cuz u know there are tons of bartending drinks out der lol

  • The "Trick" is to make visual tricks. Check out Google for other methods. There is a lot out there.

  • I really wonder how you can keep things in mind of, let's say... 5-6 different lists of 10? Bun will be connected to 5 different things, so does shoe! and it is really super easy to list, for example, the 4th item of the second list with the 4th item of the fifth list. How do you tackle this issue?

  • I would never do that, too confusing. You need to create other lists for more information. Another you can do is the alphabet, A=Apple, b_banana, c=can, d=dog etc...

    Another method is called mapping. You walk around your house in a planned pattern placing visual cue cards on objects along your path. Then recall the path and visual cues with your eyes shut. Retrace your path until you remember perfectly.

  • U RULE! Thank u :D I always read about how you should imagine images to remember stuff, but they never told me that you should use a list u already know :D

  • Great!!

    I love how it is all on art, it really works for me because i am training to be an art teacher, and finding memory techniques on that specific topic was exceptionally helpful!!

    XD

  • really good

  • Its a great way to train the mind........thanx

  • this really helped - thanks

    There's also a great memory article on

    thinker's playground(.com)

  • Thanks so much..a great tool...this will help a lot. You're a star by far!!

    A wiser person!

  • wow thank you! this was very helpful =D

  • thank you. i'd love to see more of these!

  • good technique. Thx

  • what did you study and how well did you do in college? im just curious.

  • I went from a "B" student in Highschool to a mid "A" student in college. I credit these techniques with a big part of that.

  • thanks this really helped. Im a junior in high school so I have a little while to perfect my skill. When did you start using this technique?

  • I think I started using these techniques in my sophomore year.

  • oh thats cool, so you must be able to remember anything without really trying then, right?

  • It is not magic, it takes time to "make" it work for you. Practice makes it easier.

  • right, well I have been practiceing for almost a week now and Ill definetly continue to practice.

  • Thanks, u r good....

  • Wow, this is perfect for visual learners! I'm going to start studying this way from now on, I'm sure I'll do much better than the 'repeating' things way I was trying before... Like you said, it doesn't really work =). Thank you so much for showing me this technique! You're really helpful =D!

  • Great video. I'm a student of mnemonics and use them extensivesly. I found your straight-forward and simple application and explanations to be very clear. I think this video could be a great help to anyone who has never been exposed to the "magic" of mnemonics. Great job!

  • I found this very interesting. I'm currently trying to teach myself a new language (I'm and English speaker trying to learn Bengali) and I use these kinds of tricks to not only learn vocabulary words, but to help identify what the correct character from the Bengali script should look like. I'd be interested in seeing more!

  • hi, i'm Bengali. lol, Bengali is really hard to learn, but u can do it!!! i believe in you!! =] good luck

  • what about memorizing chinese characters? i dont understand how to make associations then.

  • I think there is a book of some kind out there on that, but I think the main thing is to somehow re-interperate the characters back into pictures. Easier said than done, but I would sketch out the characters and see if they can be "Turned into" what they mean in some way.

  • Learning Mandarin or Cantonese (there is no language called "Chinese") characters is easier after you learn the structure (compound word-forming) and the tonal system first. Otherwise, you're just memorizing pictures. Without the basics, it would be like memorizing an english word based on the picture the letters make ( and not the application of the letters themselves).

  • kanji characters are made up of radicals. familiarize urself with all the radicals and perhaps it can be easier. I'm learning Japanese and this is how it's pretty much the easiest way to do it.

  • thats pretty good stuff, but it is quite a bit of work when I have more than 5 exams to prepare for at the same time.

  • Studying is never easy, but if you have a method you know will work, why waste time with what does not work well. Mnemonics takes practice, but once you have it down, studying will actually take LESS time with even better results. I know because It got me through college.

  • I explained the theory on the inefficiencies of this method. Refer to the pending approval comment below.

  • It is not an easy feat for students to recall 10 disparate items unless u actually group them by means of acronyms, Basic Ordering Ideas (BOIs), etc.

    In reference to the book by Tony buzan (the founder of world memory championships), "The average brain cannot hold more than seven major items of information in its short-term memory"

    This constitutes the reason for xRinat assertion that it does requires alot of work since large chunks of contents are required to be memorised.

  • Mnemonics helps get you beyond that 7 item limit by coupling the information you need to learn with information you already have like numbers, places, the Alphabet and more. Please look up Mnemonics and discover many other techniques.

  • u have 10 disparate items while in ur short term memory u can only have 7 items for an average brain. Following based on ur proposed mnemonic, u need to link 10 numbers to 10 disparate pictures and then to associate them with 10 required text. does that sound abit cumbersome and tedious?

    I understand how image and association enhances memory because 2 or more brain wave patterns are being interlinked. However, 10 items is a torture to ur brain. I had rather recommend mindmaps with pictures.

  • What i'm actually saying is that, u need to use methods to change 10 disparate items to be grouped into just 7 items.

  • This makes sence, but it's alot work to do when we got more than 25 questions on our sceince and nature tests

  • Their are many techniques, I show 2 on my channel. Feel free to explore other sites and books for additional information.

  • I didn't think I was a visual learner but that helped me so much thank you. :)

  • Here's a trick that REALLY helped me (a visual learner) memorize dry facts:

    Put them in columns, one on the left side of the paper, and one on the right (and one on the bottom, etc. however many columns you need). Stare at the paper a LOT and read it from various directions. On the test day, if you see a word, you will remember what side of the paper it was on!!

    That has helped me soo much.

    AND WOW I WILL USE THIS VIDEO'S TECHNIQUE SOO MUCH NOW!! THANKS!!

  • I'm a tutor for K-12 kids. Reading, math, writing and study skills. Left brained studying simply does not work. Kids LOVE right brained learning. I use all sorts of visuals and acronyms. I've used your model before. Works great. Yes, do more videos!

  • Blatantly, left brain alone is not good enough because u aren't combining all the cortical skills. Our left brain cerebral cortex consist of words, logic, numbers, sequence, linearity, analysis and lists while our right brain composite of Rhythm, spatial awareness, Gestalt,Imagination, day dreaming, colour and dimension in accordance to research. Other techniques that I recommend are the use of different colours assigned to each disparate major item and dimension in images for greater emphasis.

  • The key is to combine left and right brain functions. I offer a couple of ways, there are MANY MORE. I invite visitors to explore more if what I have posted has been helpful.

  • i cant forget it every time i count to ten aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • that's brilliant i studied art for a couple of years and could never rattle of 10 periods of art...until now. do you have any suggestions for learning another language?

  • Yes, I try to trans-literate; meaning to see what the words sound like and make pictures based on that.

    EI: Shizukana means quiet in Japaneese. But I could re-say it like "She' a kinda Quiet girl "Shi-zu-kana" sounds like "She's a kind a"

    Make it a game and you will learn more quickly.

  • clever and helpful..thanks!

  • GREAT!!! Thank you , it sure works, whísh I knew this years ago!!

  • It seems to be a very helpfull game to improve memory's! Thanks you very much!

  • Thanks for posting!

  • Do you have any suggestions for memorizing more complex things like drink recipes? I have to memorize different recipes for different casinos in Las Vegas. This includes specific part ratios (1oz, 1.5 oz, etc), specific liquors, garnishes, glassware, etc. HELP! thanks.

  • You may need to make it a game. Get a sketch pad and come up with visual translations of what you need to remember....

    Try to use simple associations. Certain Drinks have visual clues. Sometimes just the process of drawing helps get the info into memory.

  • baileykeithr,

    Purchase the books "A Page a Minute" and "The Memory Book!" Both are written by Harry Lorayne and they helped me memorize the Bible by book, chapter and verse! I memorized 100 games of chess and 98 games of baduk.

    It also helped me get thru law school.

    Good luck!

  • Good Advice. I may look it up too!

  • Amazing!!! It worked for me!!!

  • That is amasing, thank you so much, I do not know anything about art, I have never studied it, I watched your video once and I can remember the 10 periods of art. I am currently studying for a degree in computer games development (games programming) and I think this technique will come in very helpful so thank you once again for sharing your knowledge.

  • you guys should try out for pmemory , very help full site for memory , i memorizes books and colossal of information.

  • crasy good work ima suscribe! tahnks!!!:)+

  • Tx mang. Good stuff

  • im with GBanville and i would like to ssee a video on how to memorize numbers and stuff.

  • Numbers are tough, and require a bit more thought. If you can change numbers to images that can be helpful. The trick is to create a VISUAL representation of what you need to memorize.

    For instance, Pi is 3.14.... so try a Tree with a bun in the branch and a tinu door in the bun. 3=Tree, 1=Bun, 4=door.

    Yup, sounds stupid, but it works.

  • man that is amazing wow i am jsut blown away by the effectivness and the simplicity thank you

  • Ok, now, If I want to learn other list, I just erase the first one, if that is so, this will not help.

  • What I do is do a visual clean up. I revisit my list and imaging the images being taken apart. (Sounds stupid I know, but it works for me) Then I prepare the next list to be remembered.

    There are several different mnemonic techniques, I try to switch them up and it helps.

  • I doesn't sound stupid, it uses memory principles for forgetting, but the comment was concerning, longterm learning. I agree this is not only good memory, it has been for more then 2000+ years, but for longterm, there still isn't (that I know) a allrounder technique. Thank for the job or sharing your knowledge.

  • from what I understand, studies suggest that to make information go into long term memory, you need to recall the information at regular intervals that double in length between.

    Ei. keep practicing the list till you can do it without help 2x in a row. Leave it alone, and try again 2x in a row 1 hour later. Then leave it alone for another 2 or 4 hours. Recall again 2x. Drop it for a day and recall in the morning 2x then evening 2x. Then a week later, then a month later, then 3 months or so.

  • I think that was a superb class. I have read books on art and have never been able to get the order of the movements before. Really impressed with that. Don't apologize for short videos - put up some more.

  • This was fantastic...I am also a visual learner. Do you think you could come up with something for teaching place value to third graders?

  • This has been the best technique that i've ever learned years ago. But there are few more other easy and effective ones too.

  • Mr. G. I really enjoyed your video. I am currently in a masters program and could sure use all the help I can get. I have a full load of classes as well as clinical which just adds to the things I need memorize and hopefully just know.

    Looking fwd to more videos. One question: Do you actually make cards while memorizing in the beginning until you can do it without?

    Thanks

  • Yes, I sometimes draw little images as a way to help study. I will try to do another video on a technique called "Mapping".

  • i dont get this i do great on a test if i never study

  • g4tech: This is not for everyone, those with a good visual memory will do will with this technique of association. I hope to put up more techniques soon.

  • Mnemonics is pure genius. I learnt it through a children's jokes book(!) when I was little, and now I can remember almost anything. Usually, nobody else understands my often long and complicated chains of "cues", but to me they're simple and effective. I'd love to see more videos on this!

  • thanks...more video's on memorizing techniques...trying to learn a life insurance state exam. Thanks..Amy I like this one. thanks again

  • I'm interested in hearing more of your methods. Though I'd point out that a few of the links seem a bit weak, or rather, they don't seem to follow the rules I learned. That is, they don't seem to apply the slap in the face principle. Specifically, getting the impression that heaven is a great place. That doesn't correspond to any specific sensation. Yet with impression, you have a ready made, visible and powerful sensation you could employ. Where did your mom learn mnemonics?

  • I believe it was in her psych classes, a chapter on memory.

    I will try to post others. How I used numbers can also be dome with the alphabet for 26 more chunks of info.

  • I like to see examples of people making use of mnemonics.
