Learn Memory Techniques with Chris M Nemo: Dominic O'Brien System

[@leptopython]

I have two questions. The second one: @ 2:54, the choosen ACTION is a derivant from the PERSON, isn't it? If so, for 40( DO), the PERSON is "Dominic O'Brien", it is natural for me to expect the ACTION to be "playing cards". But if I met 4046, I make an image as "Dominic O'Brien cooking", which how to enhance my impression on? Or in other words, how to prevent me from a wrong memorable image "Dominic O'Brien is playing cards"? Thanks

This was an amazing video but you should retitle the video or segment it at least. You actually explained "The Complex Dominc System" rather than the "The Simple Dominc System". Thankfully I was trying to find a Complex dominc system video and this is the only one i found.

Very good

I have two questions. The first one: If I met 4046, as for 40, I recall DO( "Dominic O'Brien" ); but as for 46, is it necessary for me to recall PERSON "Delia Smith" from number 46 firstly, then associate ACTION "cooking" with him? Then finnally I make an image as "Dominic O'Brien cooking". Will the 2 steps while treating 46 makes a low speed?

Interesting. But in my Opinion, the PAO System is way more sophisticated. I created one and it works fine for me. If you use a 00-99 PAO you can put 6 digits on one spot in your memory-palace. I don't like how the dominic system is organized. I recommend to create ten rooms with differend categories and for the names use the major system. It is much easier. So ... the first digits tells you which category you are in (actors, comedians or youtubers etc.) the second digits tells you the name (according to the major-system). Of course you have to practise a bit.

If you already use PAO, there is no point in downgrading to PA. PAO is actually based on Person Action (PA) System, which is taken to a higher level by adding an object to each character. In this way, with a single PAO image you memorize 50% more than the PA system.

For 00 Olive oyl didn't eat spinach, Popeye did so how will that work?

[@xoxoMotel]

Then makeup something that resonates with you. For me, I use Ozzy Osbourne bitting off a bats head for 00.

I have three questions: 1) Why take the detour of translating the numbers into letters before creating the persons + actions? Couldn't you just skip this step and arbitrarily assign people and actions for the same result. The only difference should lie in the ease of memorizing the initial list - which isn't really that hard to do. Same is true for the connection between the person and the action of the same two digit number (e.g. it doesn't matter if I have Olive eating spinach for 00, or if I have Olive putting on makeup for 00). What am I missing? Does this actually affect efficiency in any way past learning the initial encoding list? 2) How does one person + action pair encode 6 binary digits when it is based on a list of 100 2-digit associations? Should it not be able to encode 12? (64 persons for the first 6, and 64 actions for the second 6?) 3) How does this account for odd sequences? Wouldn't you also need to cover 0-9 in addition to 00-99?

[@ChrisMNemo]

By using this method, we are creating an unusual (and, therefore, very memorable) image of a person performing another's action. These images require a strong association, that you can instantly remember, between the character and his action. For this reason, you need certain reminder clues, and associating numbers with letters will help you increase the speed of memorization and recall. To use an analogy from the IT field, it's much easier to find a record in a table when the table have an index . That's what letters codes do. 2. Memorizing the sequences of numbers is always done in groups of four digits. Each group will become a person doing the action of another person. For example, 59656835 is memorized like this: 59-65 becomes the image of "Emperor Nero -playing tennis" and 68-35 becomes "Sherlock Holmes- lassoing". 3. You can find the answer for odd numbers above: memorization is done in groups of 4 and for this reason it was necessary to transform 0 into 00, 1 into 01, etc., in order to become persons+ actions

Thank you for your response! 1) It makes sense that it makes the list easier to memorize. I personally prefer creating "free" person + object pairs, since I think that allows for more freedom in finding "unusual and, therefore, very memorable" images, since I am not bound to having, for example, to find a person whose first name starts with an A, and last name starts with a B (maybe I don't really know a person / character that even fits, which would force me to include a person I have zero connection to). The same is true for the action part. If a system leads to me having "reading the news" and "reading the newspaper" as two distinct actions, then something is flawed (at least for me, these two would not be nearly distinct enough to work properly, yet I've seen them in actual lists, since they fit the persons they belonged to). I very much doubt recall speed and precision is affected by this, once the list is properly memorized and practiced. Since at that point you're not actually taking the detour to decode it - the association between person / action and number is already made. 2) I don't understand how this relates to binary numbers. As mentioned, a set of 64 persons + 64 actions would already allow you to learn them in groups of 12 - 6 per person, and 6 per action. So a "base set" of 100 persons and 100 actions would be able to cover that, no? 3) Transforming 1 into 01 makes no sense to me if the sequence ends on 1. e.g. 37-36-37-1. This is different from 37-36-37-01. What stops us from having 10 additional persons + actions (for each 1-digit number), to cover a case like this? @@ChrisMNemo

@@pr-pc8fq 1. You can create your casting of people and actions as you wish, as long as you manage to learn it and use it without confusion. From my experience, I can tell you that choosing the actions for the initial casting, so that they are unmistakable, is a very difficult task. 2. For binary numbers, another approach is used. Since there are only 8 distinct combinations of 3 binaries each (000,001,010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111), you will need only 8 people and actions. Memorizing the binary numbers with the help of the Dominic system is done in groups of 6, of which 3 represent the person and the other 3 the action. 3. For numbers that remain outside and cannot be associated with a person and an action, different strategies are used, such as using only the associated person, without action, which is placed separately in the last location of the memory palace. I don't think it's a problem to memorize the final digit of the sequence, even if it remains unassociated

[@pr-pc8fq]

Thank you again, I appreciate it! Some confusion still remains regarding the binary numbers, since it feels very inefficient to only do 6 at a time when you could already do 12 with the person + action pairings you have available from your 00-99 decimal numbers (as you said, you need 8 for 3 digits, while you would need 64 for 6 digits). But maybe there is a practical reason for why this would not be efficient. That being said, I don't want to bother you with this any longer, you already put enough time into trying to clear it up for me - thank you :) @@ChrisMNemo

[@leptopython]

@@ChrisMNemo I don't think so. I think we have to create CODEs for every single numbers, i.e. 0~9, otherwise, we can't recall, for example, 626 and 6206 exactly
