everyone on TIKTOK is a MEMORY EXPERT suddenly 😒

[@NelsonDellis]

What are your go to resources for learning memory tips??

[@tracymiller1149]

Nelson Dellis' KZbin channel. And Art of Memory forums.

[@OptimusPr1m3]

Your channel, Dominic O'Brien's Book

[@zaregotoch.8491]

Not tiktok

[@sandys9596]

Lynne Kelly’s book ‘Memory Craft” !

[@GrantNolan.]

My first memory book was Unlimited Memory by Kevin Horsley. Now I have around 30 books....I would have say Anthony Metivier is my biggest source. I used one of your videos to get started on cards a few years ago.

[@OODZUTSU]

lol the guy at 9:08 said that jerking off causes memory loss and then he gave the same tip 3 times in a row. I think that one went over your head lol

[@ignorantlyspeaking]

This (what you said at the end about changing locations to study) corroborates something I have always said, but get looked at like I am crazy for saying. If you live somewhere and experience things with the people there, then you move away, but eventually come back much later, the people who stayed will recall fewer of those experiences because too many now overlap in the same place. So bringing things up to relate to often results in blank stares.

[@Shaunster1995]

Like a doctor listening to people reading off WebMD tips lolol you’re funny Nelson!

Great video as usual! Recently, I discovered the trivia show The Chase, and it got me wondering how one would go about memorizing a lot of general information. I know it's done with some sort of associative linking but since it's general information, it's very random and scattered so I don't think Loci would apply here. I'd love to see you memorize a bunch of random general knowledge, and then try and pass trivia tests. That'd be a great video!

[@totleariss]

I recently discovered The Chase as well! Another show that's fun and much more short-term is "I literally just told you". I had a similar type of question/request, and I feel like Trivia is a great way to get people into the memory sport. Lynne Kelly talks about a technique/method in Memory Craft that can be used for trivia where you use a large memory palace and at each location, there's a year. Then you can place objects along it to form a timeline, so for example, you would know that the rocketship (for the first moon landing) at the mailbox that you've coded for 1969. But for some trivia (like on The Chase) where the question is 'which author released the cookbook x?', I haven't a clue how you would go about remembering such a seemingly one-off piece of information. Would love a trivia-related video!

[@libraryoflilylol199]

That's a good point about changing locations to study. I need to do that more often and at least have more novel experiences while I'm even doing things I normally do. The main thing memory training thus far has done for me (for a whole entire week I've been doing this...) is that I just pay attention more and rely less on my memory of an environment to interact with it (ironically).

[@JJPHILLYLG]

Everyone on TikTok is an expert period apparently.

[@TheBuslaefff]

Hey, thanks for a video! Hope to see more of your videos keep going!

[@davidcovington901]

The fist clenching study is by Ruth Propper in 2013, covered by Time Magazine and others. "Associatative Remote Viewing" book on the table, what's up with that?

[@NelsonDellis]

I had never heard of that study. Thanks for letting me know. As for the ARV thing, more on that in an upcoming video 😎

[@rohith.e]

I am studying for an exam, and since I already knew lot of memory hacks I decided to use AI for a change, I asked ChatGPT to make mnemonics for a paragraph and make a mental image for what I wanted to remember and it created a mnemonic and imagery for me, but it's not affective as creating your own mnemonic and mental image

[@NelsonDellis]

So cool! Interesting to hear that…

[@paper2222]

i think why it's less effective is because you're not using your brain power to come up with a mnemonic, therefore it'll stick less

[@michaelwisniewski6047]

@@NelsonDellisi suppose ChatGPT would be better than we are at creating associations that are supposed to look like an object AND include certain letters, to fit well into something like a Major System or its expansions.

[@jamjam3448]

Please make a video about how you used your memory techniques at school for computer science

[@knw-seeker6836]

Nelson could you make video about Harry Lorayne and what you think about his method?

[@bernardmithi4718]

I have a copy of 'Silva mind control method'. Most of the stuff in there is far fetched 😂

[@tahmidabir4551]

Take love from Bangladesh ❤❤❤

[@Not_Your_Regular_News]

I'm on TikTok and I am an expert at everything at all times. Any advice just ask lol.

[@oswaldhonkler8544]

I love Dellis, but am intrigued by his remote viewing book on his table. If remote viewing is legit, please let me (us) know. I was initially sceptical about memory and didn't believe it until I tried it, and now have 8,000 loci.

[@NimThree]

Saw that as well! Very interesting stuff

[@fabiothebest89lu]

Do you come up with palaces on the go or you write down palaces and let’s say the approximate number of loci in each palace somewhere? Do you think preparing in advance could help? I’m thinking of using it for studying

[@oswaldhonkler8544]

@@fabiothebest89lu A combination of YouTubing walking tours and downloading them or taking screenshots (mostly parks or gardens). Also, use pegs as a way to remember and solidify each loci. That way, even though your moving from one loci to another, you're also moving from one person (or character to another). Substantially helps recall.

[@fabiothebest89lu]

@@oswaldhonkler8544 Thank you for your answer. I understood the use of walking tours and I’ll definitely try it. I’m not sure I understood the use in combination with a peg system. Could you do a simple example just to understand how it works? (If you have time)

[@oswaldhonkler8544]

@@fabiothebest89lu using pegs in a memory palace is just a suggestion to aid retention and recall; Imagine you create a list of 100 people: 1) Dad; 2) Mum, etc. In your first image place your Dad. This will effectively help you remember the sequence of your journey plus allow you a peg to interact with whatever you want to encode in that loci. Then, if you look at your list of people: 1) Dad; 2) Mum, etc, you can, without entering your memory palace, recall the information. There are also a myriad of other ways using a peg helps recall, retention and reusing palaces, but I will leave it there. I think it's helpful; others disagree and think it's unhelpful.

Rosemary is for memory because Hamlet IV.5. Ophelia says “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance.” And who’s going to argue with Ophelia? Btw, pansies are apparently good for thoughts (ibid).

[@workproductivo5407]

hi I'm looking for the movie. Memory Games (2019) documentary It's not on netflix, where can I watch it? @NelsonDellis

It’s on prime I think
