[@nithinjacob2075]

these effective techniques should be taught to and ingrained in every student starting high school

[@kinarast]

I chunked it as 1.banana, oranges, blueberries, bread (to make bread with fruit jelly) 2.rice, chicken (to make rice with chicken) 3.baking soda, flour, egg, and butter (to make a cake)

[@isabellakhong2630]

Really effective I got all of them with this, you missed peanut though, but I added that with peanut cake

[@marshallcavendish8404]

i'd chunk it as nutrients such as carbs, proteins, etc. Works for me :D

[@janislavbrickwell]

This is such an AMAZING summary of Encoding. Thank you!

[@vinodhiniravishankar9173]

i've actually learned about this topic elsewhere already. But this girl's videos are wonderful and always leads to better understanding. So I thought I will just click it and only if it is her video I will watch it. Thanks its one of her videos!!

[@OhKeiSyd]

I love her voice so much!!!!

[@stoicfloor]

Her voice is so soothing and beautiful.

My trick with names is to see if i remember their name again at the end of a conversation, I'll say something like "josh right?" To verify that i had heard the name properly but in reality i am recalling the name about 20 seconds after it was first introduced. This is near the threshold where stm becomes ltm and i feel that i remember names better if i can repeat the name 30 seconds after it is introduced.

[@argubraian]

That's rote rehearsing

[@lugardo]

thanks so much pam beasley!

[@tedoymisojos]

Helpful, thank you

[@filipjovanovic4443]

Great video!

[@bushrafkhan]

I use for this is for remembering encoding strategies - Red lamb - chose - mysterious - stupid - strawberries = Rote learning - Chunking - Mnemonics - Self referencing - Spacing. And for sub categories of Mnemonics - A - M - I - Pig? A = Acronym M = Method of Loci I = Imagery Pig = Peg word

[@himanshuwilhelm5534]

Would mentally translating the list into every language you currently know work? The point is to add extra effort, and this might be especially effective for statements and sentences because you have to deal with different sentence structures.

[@karinroberts4180]

When initially listing grocery items flour is spelled flower - it is spelled properly when placed into categories

[@Aritul]

Thank you!

[@yvonnerangel7571]

Currently creating a Acronym to try to encode the different encoding strategies

[@barbaradonohue4822]

For me, it’s something like I M S C R E W E D 😂

[@shattayute]

Thank you

[@razannegrayman]

Oh my God she sounds exactly like Michelle Phan

[@artistryartistry7239]

I feel like most of these are great for 7th grade and under. I don't see how this can work with complex, higher level information.

[@mazin_0_0]

How to trigger visual images from words ?

[@pxxkn5827]

bah bah bah

[@zphuo]

It is memory strategy and not about encoding..

[@A111mar]

When using these memory techniques, you are in fact encoding.

[@ellyhafwen248]

banana, chicken rice, blueberries bread

[@TheIllerX]

Well, Active recall and interleaving seems to be the two most effective learning techniques according to science from the researchers in learning. Those are not mentioned here at all. The techniques here are generally inferior to those.

I didn't know the great lakes of Canada were in the United States......................i am confusion.

[@ryanw1140]

Well yeah America basically owns Canada

[@hummingbirb]

@@ryanw1140 lolno you tool

[@hummingbirb]

The border cuts through them in half, with the exception of Lake Michigan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes#/media/File:Great_Lakes_1.PNG

[@xoieveck9505]

Those are Canadian lakes ?_?

[@EbrahimAIbnawiEngAbha]

Are you sick ؟؟ Why is your writing so so small؟!!

[@god5535]

She is just parroting what she learned perpetuating our schooling system. Mnemonics are the WORST way to memorize something. Repetition is very effective especially for learning something verbatim. Seems like she is preparing another fellow for "study" when it really should be love for knowledge. #1 should be Interest/Engagement not Rehearsal....

[@kasym]

Having an interest in a topic is the BARE minimum for learning the topic. You need to understand, learn, and memorise information on top of that. Rote learning is so ineffective, I don't know what kind of mindset you have but it's shocking

[@auntyjasmine2566]

I believe the most effective method would be engaging in high order learning, following blooms taxonomy

[@ItsAsparageese]

"especially for learning something verbatim" other than performers memorizing lines or lyrics, which are themselves usually encoded in bigger chunks, I can't think of any industry or application where verbatim memorization is necessary at all, let alone actually more useful than truly comprehending nuanced USE of information. And even if some people do just thrive best with repetition rote methods, here's a crazy idea, maybe not everyone in the world is based on you lol. Mnemonics objectively work, there's a reason a huge amount of people's everyday logical processing uses them. Your comment is obnoxious and judgy and project-y and naive, let facts be facts without getting defensive and bratty about it as if the video personally attacked your favorite ways to memorize things.

[@MsLeahSweet]

very annoying.....sorry.

[@Icelander00]

Thanks
