Memory Techniques: The Memory Palace System

[@shawnlannigan4144]

I am speechless right now... I have had a problem remembering things my entire life... I just wrote down 25 random words and did this and on the first try I got them all right.... Amazing

[@TheMainclass]

Felipe Fraga When I heard about this technique(Sherlock Holmes). One of the first things that i wondered about was how long does this last? Well it lasts as long as you want it to last. What i mean is, after you try this technique at least for me. The first thing i tried to memorize was a list with 15 things on it. Well it wasn't long before i wanted to try and memorize something else. What the amazing thing was that even creating the same memory palace with new things inside it. I was still able to remember the list of 15 in another instance of the same memory palace. And the funny thing is, is that i didnt know how to clear this instance of my memory palace. And i found out that it starts fading as you dont use it(the memory palace with my list inside.) So all this was leading down to the fact(at least for me that is), that in order to remember any memory palace you will have to walk through it once in a while so that it wont fade. But of course the more experience you have with this technique the faster you will be able to memorize and the more you will be able to memorize. Sorry for the long speech, but i hope that cleared some things up. :)

[@TheMainclass]

Also another thing. Is that, the more memory palace "instances" that you use. You will notice how sometimes when trying to remember something you will sort of get this colliding effect and remember something from another instance.

[@TheMainclass]

I'm not sure if that happens to everyone, but it surely happens to me.

[@TheMainclass]

Felipe Fraga But I'm almost certain this goes away after experience.

[@caldwell477]

Daniel Ilinykh By the way Hannibal lecter used this technique as well even though he was evil and killed people he had a brilliant memory. Its not in any of the movies but in Thomas Harris book.

[@ammarovenas]

I'm gonna try a challenge I was thinking about for a long time I want to try and learn 100 vocabulary words in one day using this technique. wish me luck :)

[@TheMainclass]

im also very curious how it went?

[@ammarovenas]

i kinda did 80 in one day , but its not as easy since im learning japanese vocab its a bit harder i guess because i use menomics in my own language + a mind palace . BUT this is so effective and easy and i dont think i would ever be able to learn more than 25 word a day using old methods( cramming and hoping thry stick}

[@TheMainclass]

Yeah. So I've been using this tech. for like 3 weeks now. So far I was able to remember all the books of the Bible (66), And all the 50 U.S states and each one's capital (100 all together), and over 60 numbers of PI. So far seems to work without me forgetting anything. All I really have to do is go over it like twice a week.

[@ammarovenas]

thats really cool , i think its easier to memorise such things as they can be organised in a list . but for vocabulary you have to put them somewhere random , but from my experience, you get used to the method you become faster and actually be able to increase the number of words you can learn in a day , and will develope some short cuts too. Good luck :)

[@caldwell477]

Daniel Ilinykh I'm taking a medical class how might you suggest I remember the bones and muscles of the body?

[@5crownsoutreach]

I have applied for a doctorate program in linguistic studies, I am looking forward to mastering these concepts! Great video.

[@ChristianKrause89]

Good job on this video and covering the many aspects of this technique; left me question-less!

[@babup8986]

Very nicely presented. Great.

[@AKindChap]

I used my grandparents house (it's very fluid to move between the rooms there) and just had a random list of items. I'm up to 20 now, but I haven't gone upstairs with it just yet. Using things like my nan's chair in the corner and the dolphin statue on the windowsill, the hole in the fence that looks into the neighbours garden. It's very fun! :D Oh! I also follow the left wall everywhere, like I'm in a maze. I walk clockwise around the edge of every room, into the kitchen out the back door around the garden and back into the other side of the kitchen again. Makes it easier to remember which way to go, I think.

[@Davlavi]

This was a cool lecture thanks for making these.

[@KrisWhite1982]

thanks, i've been interested in a memory palace for a long time and your info has been helpful.

[@rodrigodespereira]

This video is amazing! I'm totally addicted to your channel.

[@mejdbaba]

very interesting and thank you for explaining so nicely.

[@guytiips3906]

Super clearly thank you so much

[@misterx530]

This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much. :)

[@GodVlogger]

Memory palace is GREAT for memorizing lyrics to a long song, or bible verses, etc. Great video, as usual. Thanks!

[@janeyrevanescence12]

Thank you so much! This really helped me with work where I have to remember a lot of information very quickly.

[@PurdyBear1]

It works best if you remember - 5 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after you've learnt it. Oh and make sure you limit your study time to 20 minutes and then a 5 minute break and then go over what you previously studied before continueing with the 20 minute rotation.

[@ErenMortel]

OH MY MIND! I HAD A MIND PALACE B'CAUSE OF YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@Shancena]

do you still have it?

[@ErenMortel]

yes, i can't seem to forget it even the things inside it.

[@Shancena]

cool

[@theturntablehermit]

Great video, thank you so much for sharing, I really feel like this video will change my life!

[@reemaalhamdan1]

thank you so much for this video i really learned a lot and after i finished watching your video i started practicing on the method .

[@witness8603]

I tried it and it went cool thanks

[@lilora70]

Great video. Thank you so much!

[@workthentravel]

Great video, thank you!

[@Abhijithkanvas]

Thanks Paul!! You might be small organization, but you make a big sized impact. Bigger than the 'hamburger' eating the Ice cream in my living room.

[@day090]

this was great. thanks. could you also say how this is applied to for example, one or more sentences please. Thanks again.

[@Holmnielsen-]

Great video! Good compliment to Moonwalking with Einstein.

[@thekillersego]

THANKS MAN, THAT WAS A GREAT GREAT VIDEO

[@dinette76]

very helpful Thank you!

[@londo519]

Try visualizing the number, maybe it's on a card; also, depending on how big the numbers are you might need to chunk them. For example you want to remember 100 to 738 and 738 to 810 each for 5 minute intervals (i'm assuming intervals are what you're describing; such as poker tournament payouts). To start: walk up to your door and the you see 100 as the building's address number, then you see a card with the number 7 on it, with another card beside it with 38; this shows 100 to 738. Next, walk in

[@claudiahill9382]

for lists i use a different method where each item visually links with the previous. e.g a giant onion is wrapped in printing paper, u peel off the printing paper to reveal the onion, the onion is angry with u and fights u, u punch it so hard it splits into hundreds of carrots, the carrots morph into a fire on which you fry a burger then a mountain of ice cream falls from the sky and puts the fire out... it is easy to remember this list and i will probably remember this short list till wednesday with no additional work. This method only works with lists in order or maybe reverse, u couldn't skip into the middle of the list to retrieve items you would have to go start to finish.

[@caldwell477]

+Claudia Hill Ummm no you don't.I can skip you just have to know the list. Read the Art of Memory which explains everything about this system in great depth!!!!!!

[@marinadespotovic1309]

Thank you! Great vidio!

[@ChristinaFonthes]

amazing. thank you.

[@hamiltontavernaro7354]

I do not speak English very well , but the little I understand could do memorization, from 1 to 10 and can remember very well in any sequence , it is hampered somewhat because certain words I do not know , so I learned the meaning and even memorized word order, you guys have methods to read books and remember what you read?..

[@AshishKumarprofile]

Very nice. Thanks. :)

Amazing video

[@TheOneLifeRider]

I'm just in the process of building one now

[@aadon94]

I'm just starting this out and have a question. Going to be using my home as my primary memory palace. In the video it is mentioned to choose 5 things to make memory hooks per room. Is this important? If I have more potential items in one room could I not have for example 8? Or is it best to have the same number of hooks in each room? Thanks

[@chrisc9098]

I personal like to have the same amount of hooks in each room.

[@blackeneddarkangel]

Pick up a memory book by Harry Loraine he explains how to turn numbers into words to easily remember them.

[@stanleymathers8948]

Isn't there something about throwing out old memories and emptying the rooms when you need to store new memories? Like if you need to remember a grocery list, when you've finished shopping, what do you do then? Maybe visualize cleaning the house?

[@jcarroll296]

What are the rules to reusing memory palaces? can they reused? & when is it ok to reuse memory palaces?

[@ariromdon9428]

[@chrisc9098]

Yes you can resuse your palace you can also have temporary palaces and permanent palaces.

[@DPSAX95]

I started using it today and i takes me way to long to momorize things with this,especially with numbers..but i dont forget them easily atleast.. Is there a better system for numbers?

[@anirahmuhammadshariffudint1370]

this video is very good... now iam studying japanese languange so i try to use this method but i had to use alot of time to create the visual.. and i still can't remember it

[@brianpinto9243]

What if i use like memory palace for 1 grocery list.... Then if i want to add more should i make a new house....or remove everything here... Or what like what to do if i want to remember lots of different things at different time while remember rest and if only have a house yo think of

[@idontbelieveingingers6556]

thanks!

[@brcha]

Is there a way to organize memory palaces into a superpalace or something like that. Video games make use of reusing the same old place over and over and just make details (ie memories) look different. Is this approach a good idea for memory palaces? Can I, for example, make up a street (or a building) with my house, or several houses/buildings/appartements/locations repeating itself over and over, but each time in a different context, serving different memories?

[@calechips7466]

try using different grocery stores

[@Dimstarfan]

[@nealrice7352]

This is a good tool

[@vivinobarreda8531]

Great!

[@BohemianEmbassador-Shen]

I thought it was first recorded in Cicero's De Oratore...

[@londo519]

to your front hall, turn and you see an LED display on your closet that shows 7 38, you continue to open the closet door and it changes to 8 10 before a speaker system announces 5 minutes remaining.

[@TheGhrb]

how does one visualize stuff quick, im having the problem to visualize sentences to something cleaver that i could put in the palace

[@ankh4153]

Hey Iris, I want to remember Different concepts and information can I use the same mind palace? I get confused using a same items in my memory palace more than two/three times. Is it that I require infinite memory palace to store infinite information?

[@lolPantsProductions]

+Feaver F Maybe try other places you're familiar with, like your car, your work, your back yard?

[@BohemianEmbassador-Shen]

+Feaver F That is likely subjective, it depends upon the person. In my experience you can use the same palace over and over with different data. What's more difficult, for me anyway, is creating an imaginary mind palace, things blur. Better to go with a Mind Palace you are totally familiar with than a new one. With experience there will be more options.

[@chrisc9098]

I use imaginary palaces they come from movies and video games.

[@zuleyhatassewlako7462]

wow.i like it

[@Silhouex]

I'm not so sure I can use this method. I've moved constantly for much of my life. For different reasons but I don't have any one place where I have an intimate knowledge of it's layout. Is it possible that I could create a new place entirely? I don't really have familiar places...

[@deforeestwright2469]

yes. make up a room, not too big or small and start from there. try to be very precise in visualizing the dimensions and shape of the room as well as any permanent objects that might be in it. try something like this: you are in your car and two or three things to be remembered might be in there, you then drive your car into a garage. you know that it is square and that your car is in the middle of it. on the wall facing the driver's side there are shelves, on the wall facing the front of the car there are overhead cabinets, and on the wall facing the passenger's side there are storage bins. in the back-right hand corner there is a door into your childhood bedroom, only now there is a ladder and a trap door in its ceiling and when you go through that trap door there is a bowling alley with seven lanes and at each of the seven lanes is a character representing one of the seven deadly sins.he bowling alley is completely imaginary, the bedroom is a memory of a real place and the garage could be a mix of real and imaginary. As long as you are consistent and sufficiently detailed you should be fine.

[@eugenelaratonda72]

Would have been so much better if you used loci through the PowerPoint instead of reading text.

[@akillaskaramitros7516]

what you describe is called topos method(ΤΟΠΟΣ).

[@alexasorrow229]

Hogwarts is actually my mind palace.

[@potterprincesszilly]

Mine too :3

[@azalak]

And what about the tricky stairs? Can you remember things only on Wednesdays but not on Thursdays? :)

[@bradacook]

Anyone know how to use this for things involving numbers? Like... Tot limits: 100c-738c 738c-810c 5 min ect....

Can anyone suggest a good memory technique to learn chess theory, specially endings.

[@MrPeterthebest]

ok so what if i don't have a list or don't need an order but just to remember information, what if it is just info for an exam. for example knowing about astronomers and what they did. and on the exam the questions can be anything. not just tell me about them. how do you make a palace for that. ??

[@ochgottnochma]

Play more games xD

[@AKindChap]

Do you have the Sims? You can make your own houses that way... there was a way to go into a view that looked first person, too. I think games would be better than books or movies because you get to explore freely.

[@deforeestwright2469]

you can just do it. some classical sources say it isnt as good, but it is implied as part of the technique. the key is just to be clear and detailed in visualizing the shape and dimensions of the room as possible, just as if you were working from a real location.

[@drogadepc]

whenever I try the memory palace I memorize things without "building" my memory palace, wich is bad. if I forget, I can't remember because I don't have a memory palace

[@AliAzeezRed]

Lucas Vasconcelos There is something for that, isn't it? Good memory techniques shown above but I also suggest you google for Elumpa simple studying alchemist. you'll find a lot more techniques and skills.

can this technique help you remember anything?

[@ljdelacruz157]

Is there a great way on how to ERASE pictures in my memory palace? So that next time, I can use that same "room" again and not recall the previews pictures I memorized. For example: Today, I memorized the FIRST chapter in a book for an upcoming quiz. The following day, let's say I ACED the quiz. The quiz is already done, there's no reason for me to memorize the FIRST chapter and I want to memorize the SECOND chapter next. I successfully memorized the SECOND chapter but somehow the pictures from the FIRST chapter are still VIVID in my palace. How do I ERASE the pictures I visualized from the FIRST chapter so that I don't accidentally recall it for the next upcoming quiz?

[@GabriellaMarpaung]

I''m afraid I will unconsciously make a false reality with this kind of technique.

I wonder what happens when a memory palace got used thousands of time...

[@calechips7466]

thats exactly what i was thinking

[@DiNozzo431]

You can expand your memory palace endlessly. You just have to do it in incriments. It doesn't have to be your home, it could be your dream apartment/house. It could have thousands of rooms, eventually. Filled with things that you desire in life. You can even put a damn ferrari in one of the rooms and associate every little detail on that ferrari with new information. Just make sure that what you are adding to your memory palace is things that you have a strong connection with and that you can vividly imagine. There is no end to how far you can go with this.

[@caldwell477]

DiNozzo431 How would you go about creating a palace for a anatomy class. Where I have to learn about the 11 systems and know the muscles and bones?

[@onyxia8786]

and what about verbs and adjectives for a new language?

[@Ats192]

This required to think more, why not just remember the items itself.

[@PurdyBear1]

It is such a shame that memory and how to study is not taught in schools, you are just expected to know. Personally I think a lot of it is class discrimination - where the upper classes can afford private teachers and such those teaching kids study methods etc where the poorer parents cannot. Each and every child should be taught in every school to give each child an EQUAL chance to achieve their true abilities and talents. Ps in a total of 17 plus years of UK education we did not have one single class on study methods and memory techniques. I've had to learn everything on my own and from You Tube which to be frank is disgusting in this day and age.

[@bighands69]

It is not discrimination of rich people use different methods. The whole of the UK is out of date. It is a welfare state that takes money from the workers and gives it to the none workers. The whole country is built around this and they do not care about your problems. This has nothing to do with people being rich.

[@krupalvithlani]

It requires dropping to alpha brainwaves, we can't visualise well in high beta (that's associated with stress)

[@frankandcathy]

Why don't we memorize things anymore in school? Because we have been deliberately dumbed down. The "reformers" hated memorization and viewed it as "restrictive." Go classical education or go home!
