Memory techniques, Mnemonics #2.

From Wikipedia: A mnemonic device (pronounced /nəˈmɒnɪk/) is a memory aid. Commonly met mnemonics are often verbal, something such as a very short poem or a special word used to help a person remember something, particularly lists, but may be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that is to be remembered

  • alrite look do you got any techniques that just improve ur memory just plain like for example i dont wanna have to rember something to remember something else im not looking for connects to rember something just something where i could remember plain and simple without having to rember something to remember that particular thing

  • @TrueDominguez Their is no pill to improve memory, it takes work. Mnemonics is a technique to join new information with what you already know. You can look up the term and find more techniques.

    Good Luck.

  • I would be starting Uni. soon and at the end of the video you mentioned how the techniques that your mom taught you really helped you through college. My friends who are currently attending Uni also tell me that you don't have to be the smartest to be successful in Uni, its whoever has a good memory. Will a photographic memory be more useful in Uni than a person who is a auditory learner? Any advice?

  • @abdulaziz9988 : I have heard that people who average a "B" in college tend to do better in the real world. I am not sure this is true, but one needs to balance knowledge with understanding and the ability to budget time to succeed in college as well as life. My advice is to use techniques that work best for you and it is OK to use several. There is no single key to success. Do what you love and it will never be "WORK."

  • Despite heavy speculations on the credibility of photographic reading, I would recommend photographically reading material prior to studying it. Also, you can use the structures of your house, put objects in it that arn't really in your house that remind you of objects that you need to memorize. Also, you can add to your mapping by simply adding doorways that lead to other buildings you are familiar with from your house.

  • Good Ideas, thank you for sharing.

  • @ArtOfTeaching Ive been doing this for years with the room maping and didn't know anyone else did it, lol Great ideas thanks

  • @Heahmount

    Me too mate, if only they'd thought us this stuff in primary school I might not have dropped out by secondary. Even the teachers made me feel stupid sometimes, I absolutely hated it. Now when I use these techniques the information seems to stick. It's about time I had a crash course I think.

  • I always felt hopeless in school, I could read and try to memorize what happens in a chapter of a book or a math equation but it never really stuck and I always felt dumb. Then I got out of school and started learning from videos on the internet and documentaries etc and I found that I wasn't dumb at all. In fact a lot of people I know have commented on my intelligence since then. I think schools teach people what to learn and not how to learn and it's a shame. Thanks again.

  • @ArtOfTeaching not yet, but soon there will be.

  • Thanx
