It’s a form of encoding specificity called transport-appropriate processing. Essentially, if the context during retrieval matches the context during memorization, it maximizes your rate of recall. In this case the first letters are cognitive cues that instantly link to your memory storage and pulls the info to your working memory.

You can apply this to basically everything and elevate of it. I learned a technique myself which helped me both memorize and spend little to no time on studying. Over a 3 week period of 40 hours lessons i would spend 10 hours of those actually studying; and have 30 hours doing whatever i wanted. - 7 hours went towards through going reading through the chapter and gathering all material i needed - 1 hour at the end of the first week (friday) going over all the material - 1.5 hours over 2 week period were spent reading through all material to keep it fresh - 30 minutes were spent right before the test, quickly reading through everything and seeing how well me and my friend could keep a dialogue and motivate our reasoning on the questions The Process 1. Listen to the teacher during the powerpoint Presentation 2. What the teacher just did, try it practically 3. Read the a chapter, go through what you just read in your mind. 4. Write down Key points of what you read 5. Make up questions on situations where it can be applied 6. Repeat until you are at the end 7. Write down Facts/definitions in simple form 8. Before a test Go through the Fact/definitions. 9. There should be little to none difficulty in answering the questions. Bonus: For every question, make up a situation where the answer could be applied. Example; Question: How often does a car need Maintenance? Answer: Every 8-12 Months is a procedual checkup Example. The recommendations are 8-12 Months, but it varies *depending* on the *age of the car and millage*. Natural events can also be a benefactor, living close to the sea or in a area where sea salt is a common occurence can speed up the process of rust and deoxidation of the metal, prompting for Maintenance far more often than reguarly... yada yada yada. Just simply providing the answer will land you a decent/good grade Providing a nuanced case will make you seem interested in the subject and knowledgable, It's important to split the two, as the teacher first want to see if you know the answer, then if they are interested, read the case and see you are very knowledgable.

[@sonalijoshi9898]

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@lauren8420]

I like your method. But I’m not sure how it would apply to certain fields. For example, I’m an electrical engineering graduate and not sure how to adapt your method into circuit analyses and other various mathematical analyses and assessments. I think this would work well in other fields where concepts, facts, information and details define one’s expertise on a given subject (eg biology, history, etc). Would love to hear any suggestions on methods for memorizing /familiarity on evaluation of less-concrete methods of demonstrating knowledge. I do see it could be helpful in accessing steps needed for mathematical evaluation. But even then… 🤓

[@marcuspvxea]

​@@lauren8420 It can be used to a certain extent The method i mentioned is for classes from Kindergarten up to college/Highschool and subjects such as you mentioned "other fields where concepts, facts, information and details define one’s expertise on a given subject (eg biology, history, etc). " It becomes quite the difference when you advance to subjects such as PHD, Engineering, Juridical science. But one example i would provide for a Analysis is to state the numerous of facts based on your results and other factual criterias. Then once that has been provided you start arguing the resulsts and possibilities, this could be if something had a specific impact or benefited to the outcome. One great example is math, there is a infinity ways to approach a problem, Let's say the question wants you to achive the number 2, the most simple way here is to do 1 + 1, but you can do 1-3 or 10/5 however the correct answer there would be that there is a infinite ways to achive the number 2, you provided the most simple form of achiving the answer and then provided additonal equations to reach said same answer, but ultimately you proved the most important answer, there is a infinite ways of achiving the number 2. Which is on the same level of a Analysis, while a question stating "Achive the number 2 using multiplication through through simple form" the answer they seek for here is very specific and limited and is usually how school is designed up to highschool and college. In my opinion to demonstrating knowledge is showing how you are dependable in a unexpected situation that arised and not afraid of questioning yourself and your results and making it clear this is your way of achiving said results but it's not the only one. Wisdom plays a big role here as well as someone who is very knowledgeble should be wise

[@SpinningSandwich]

This makes a lot of sense thru the lens of linguistic psychology. We process language differently when reading/listening/writing/speaking, and the first steps here involve reading, writing, and speaking. (It's important to speak the lines aloud!) The next layer is that we tend to process first letters/sounds more than the middle bits, so isolating the first letters serves as both a shorter mnemonic and as an additional way to process of the words. I'm sure someone working in the field could break it down further, but this jives with all the language learning science I've come across.

I was thinking something similar as Johnny Doe, but gave it a try with the 'I' chapter of Eunoia, which features more than one level of extreme internal alliteration: www.poetryinvoice.com/poems/chapter-i The compression of 'i' sounds does make it more challenging, but not when I broke it down to smaller chunks. I'm going to play around with it more, but it's obvious already that it will create a fun advantage for, shall we say, "natural language." I'm just starting with 200kg on the bench for fun during the initial test. Next stop Shakespeare. In the meantime, thanks for this ultra-cool tip! :)

This video is the best one I have seen yet. I have two paragraphs to remember, and I remembered one completely in just about an hour. 100% give this a try. It is a life saver. Thank you!

[@jericocapulla7428]

You can combine it to memory palace method

[@ishansaraswat4339]

As a person who has ADD this literally just changed my fucking life. I love you so much for making this video. I always had a hard time memorizing stuff like this and I have a improv speech tmrw so I am memorizing a couple topics in my head and now I know how to get more efficient at this stuff

[@Aniahwasacting]

I have add to and this help so much I can’t believe this worked it’s funny that you were here 3years ago😂

[@davidbingley6734]

It's going from the general to the specific. It's like a rough sketch before a final drawing. That's why it works so well. Very cool.

[@ke11yke11z]

This method is great for someone trying to improve their short term memory. Thanks 😊

[@DatOleEditGuy]

I'm getting into acting and about to do my first main character role this advice is golden, Thanks a bunch. 😀

[@tastywinner2848]

5 minutes into trying this technique, it's already helping. Thank you.

[@PublicSpeakingSociety]

Hi, I like your honesty around where you got the knowledge from in this video. And thanks for sharing....I have tried these tips for a while now and they really helped me to memorise better. Thank you so much for sharing and providing so much value!

[@edalarconreal]

Much easier than the memory palace technique. Awesome! Tx for re-sharing!

[@Cloppa2000]

My memory for things like this is the worst of anyone I know.. but this so worked for me! Within a couple of minutes I could read the whole text at 4:22. Then after a few times doing this, I could recite it with my eyes closed! I really didn't expect much when I stumbled upon this video, but this is an incredible technique!!!

[@ryanrichter1076]

Thank you so much I always procrastinate and just realised I need my part memorized in two days and this SAVED me. Thank u so much!

[@yomama847]

Nelson, just want to thank you for everything on this channel. You are one of the few channels that actually has good info like this. :)

[@approxer]

i need to memorize a two page prose (2-3 min talking) and this literally helped me so much

[@mavisormani3738]

You showed the paper on the screen in min 4:22 and I literally said it!! I struggled, but one tip: TRY not to look immediately to the source text. Think about it, give your brain time. If you get stuck, try to match other sequences of the letters from the visual images you created and map those, then from the beginning again. After a few mins, I was able to reconstruct the entire line. Disclaimer: I am English-Spanish interpreter. I literally get paid to memorize what people say in one language to repeat it back into the target language, so I guess I came with practice. But it works! I intuitively used this technique at work writing a few key words or symbols that I know will be the element I need to reconstruct the rest of the message.

[@yuamarvell2004]

This worked great for my French essay! The exam is in ten days but it’s three separate papers and the essay is always my worst. With this I think I’ve got it down with plenty of time to work on the other papers!

[@__lizaaa.x2287]

I'm in a play and I have to memorize 67 pages of lines thanks so much !! I've memorized 46 pages so far this is the only helpful thing I've found your so awesome!

[@GetCuteFashion]

Nice. How long did that take you with this method? Did you have to review it a lot before hand?

[@scout1710]

How do you even understand that all

[@leighterry943]

Thanks dude, I have a photographic memory, and it’s crazy because I could tell you what side of the page in a book a specific quote is on, and I’m learning disabled, but what I realized all watching your video is the best way for people to learn memorization skills is to watch videos of songs they like or read poems they like, and after a while, they’ll be sitting there reciting their favorite song and poem without it being in front of them. I don’t know if that’ll work for anyone, but it surely works for me. There’s always a way, but you have to find the best way for you, and if you pay attention, you will realize what it is.💜

[@workstuff8771]

Wowww..I've never seen a comment about someone who actually has photographic memory. I have problems memorizing numbers in my line of work..that skills/talent would be super awesome to have

[@franc5148]

hi, i watched this video a few years ago and this has become my routine to sudy my lines. So i came back to say thank you

[@NelsonDellis]

No, thank YOU!

[@fpsgamesbestclips2521]

[@rehtaeh77]

I love this! I need to memorize some monologues and it freaks me out but now I feel like this is REALLY going to help! Thank you!

[@madalynpeairs7799]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! My poetry class all realized today we have to memorize "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred Lord Tennyson by tomorrow and none of us knew it. I immediately sent this to all of them I WAS ABLE TO MEMORIZE THIS IN 15 MINUTES!!!!!

[@LianneAngela]

This is good. I managed to memorize the first paragraph of my declamation only in a few minutes. Thanks! :D Edit: I memorized the whole thing. I'm already ready a week ready before I compete for this contest- Wish me luck!

[@ginay4662]

Did you win?

[@angusshaw8255]

How did it go

[@methodforce7315]

How many word are in it? How long did it take to completely memorize it and how long on average did you work at it each day?

[@LianneAngela]

​@@ginay4662nope, still happy tho

[@LianneAngela]

​@@angusshaw8255good, i lost tho but still happy after that

[@SebastianAndersenVO]

This worked so well! I memorized 9 sentences in under 5 minutes.

[@sweetlilac1712]

I almost immediately memorized it when you wrote it down. Wish I had found this sooner!

[@Chromolume]

Stumbled across this video today and I was intrigued- but very skeptical. I'm starting rehearsals for a new show next week, so I thought, "Why not give it a try? It's early enough that I can still learn in my usual way." In the last hour, I'm already off book on my first two scenes. I'm completely blown away that this works!

[@manyamarunachala7274]

Not only that the technique is a GEM, the way it's presented in this video is amazing too...around 5 minutes...Well planned...👌👌👌👍💡💡💡

[@philostreet781]

Easy to follow and very effective. Thanks for sharing this memory tip❤

[@JoeBarbagallo1]

This was GREAT! Very easy to understand and get the lines down. Thank you for this!

[@somanytvshowshavecausedmee899]

Thank you so much, i had to remember 6 pages of my script for a performance thats happening tomorrow and i have totally forgotten to memorize my lines. So thanks so much! I really needed this and it helped so much! Literally saved my grades. Edit: did anyone else notice that he has 66.6K subscribers?

[@glorciu]

Even using this technique, i still struggled a little bit. What helped me is also writing the full first word of every line, accompanied by the single letters.

[@PearlandBiko]

This has helped me tremendously... I've been using it for years .... stumbled upon this video and wondered if I liked it when I watched and turns out I didn't.... Here I am to like and comment years later, lol

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Great tips and a great llama shirt!

[@Caterblock]

[@scout1710]

ueer

[@danielpetersen6164]

It really worked great, thank you! Had to get ready for my exams, this was so useful!

[@alexafornow6932]

thanks so much for this! i have a french speaking exam on thursday and i haven't memorised any of my answers yet. this was super helpful!

[@Memaw_life]

Omgosh! THank you 🙏 I was stressing out because I have to remember my 5s and 10a for a new UPS driving test, where I need to learn 2 whole pages verbatim. I thought no way will I remember this. I found your video today as I was starting and I can’t believe I actually remember like 90% of one of the pages I have a week to study so I’m feeling more positive now. THANK YOU GOOD FRIEND GOD BLESS!

[@connorkenway7365]

I honestly did not expect this to work, regardless I thought it was worth a try and frankly I was surprised how fast I could memorize an essay of mine word by word. Thank you for sharing this method!

[@abbibrewstea]

Wow this is crazy. I’m in a teen drama radio adaption of Christmas Carol and I got Scrooge! This is my first ever lead and I was a bit overwhelmed with the fact that Scrooge has at least 150 lines more than the second biggest role. This is a super crazy method but holy crap it works so well. Thank you so so much!!

[@popcornrandomness8350]

i was so skeptiacal at first but this trick is so useful it has helped me to memorise so many different answers for the sciences

[@valisamintlover]

Wow! Tysm this helped me! I am gonna apply for a main character and this is helping me on my demo reel. You've earned that like, keep up the content! :)

[@garrylloyd9240]

Watched this thought it might be abit of bs in all honesty but can't say that without trying it ey !! I've used it for a job interview questions and answers , after a couple of hours I've memorised loads of A4 pages, haha it really is good . Thanks man

[@anet3281]

IM MIND BLOWN. THIS REALLY WORKS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!

[@johndufford5561]

Once you can look at the first letters, captilization, & punctuation without errors, THEN, starting at the LAST letter, do the words BACKWARDS! When you can recall all the words backwards, you have memorized the text. You may not TRUST that you have, but you have! You own it, literally forward & backward. Works great, regardless of the length or complexity of the text. (Makes people think you are smarter than you actually are, which is generally a good thing...)

[@onee-chan9712]

I am sure gonna use it! Thanks for that amazing technique!

[@skyisthegoat5050]

yo you are a life saver im playing jacob marley for my school and i couldnt remember his lines for the life of me like ive never had so much trouble with lines so i was trying to find a new way to memorize them other then just writing them down like 50 times cause it wasnt working
