Photographic Memory: My System to Remember Everything

[@zulby09]

I personally believe memorising something comes from passionate interest. It’s like being able to promptly recall a song melody and its lyrics; there’s no coercing or manipulation involved, only passion. Many people make the mistake of reading a non fiction book 📕 once then put it aside hoping that the facts will present themselves in their memory. Learning is to revisit voluntarily the interesting facts again and again till they become second nature and began to make logical sense being interconnected to each other and to new facts. Never think you’re too old to revisit previously learned facts and brand new ones

[@dancingphoenixart]

About passionate interest, it's not only that you voluntarily go back & revisit facts, a huge part of it is that when you have an emotion connected to information, you're telling you're brain that it's important and it will therefore prioritize it. When you feel joy, anger, sadness, frustration you're much more likely to remember. Whereas when you're feeling bored, you're telling your brain "don't bother with this". This is something we can actively influence to some degree, we can decide to be more interested in something. Find things in a topic that are interesting to us and connect those. Or transform it in some way that makes it interesting, make a story, joke, insider or image about it, whatever works for you. Visualizing it. Make a song. Do whatever you like, just make it interesting for yourself so that it sticks way more easily

[@jimmertrey2334]

No the passion creates focus and repetition. It’s like when a kid can remember every word on a 13 song CD yet the can’t recall 11 x 15. They have listened to the CD 400 times, they have only done 11 x 15 6 times in their life. It’s simple

[@shuttzi9878]

It works for most people but remember that there are also those who have ADHD and no matter how many times they practice your suggestion, it just won't work for them. Otherwise great advice, you're right. That's how our brain retains information, without the emotion there's no signal for the brain to remember anything.

[@theeddytor3490]

you aren't wrong. i had been trying to learn japanese for long for my work but i had it hard, i did learn but it was hard. but when i started learning german i was in 2 weeks able to speak simple sentence like i had been speaking german for last 3-4 years.

[@kurman4749]

You are absolutely correct, my friend. The more passionate or interested someone is in any subject, the more likely that person is to remember something and commit it to long-term memory.

[@Prophetmother]

As a therapist, I really appreciate how transparent you've been about utilizing therapy to help you manage the stressors of medical school and ultimately accomplish your goals. Working with highly intelligent, high-achieving women is so fulfilling for me. And, I'm also a homeschool mom and have found many of the learning tools you describe to be very similar to ones I use with my children, always connecting new information to things they already know and keeping things in context. Love your videos and congrats on passing your exams!

[@ShivMathur]

Learning is not about memorising but being passionate about the subject and trying to understand by analysing it

[@judeperera3947]

I am ok about being passionate and analysing but... at the end of the day if its not memorised, its pointless... even the man who introduced the cognitive load theory mentions this!

[@tehreemazmat2929]

This is SO true for doctors. When we are reading, the prompt is the "heading" of let's say "glaucomas". But in REAL life, the patient is going to present as "pain in eye" or painless peripheral visual loss which can take you into completely opposite areas of differentials. Text books need to flip the formats on their head and group diseases as for example "painless, vs painful" as you said. I figured this out on my own a couple of months back because i too struggle with senseless mnemonics. Mnemonics arent natural OR patient centered. Doctors need to be able to make intelligent connections, not jut memorise without pathophysiological context or without understanding how the patient experiences the disease. We have AI for that. In the text books, they go from the tree trunk toward the branches but in REAL clinical settings we'll have to trace our way back to the trunk FROM a branch. They need to design textbooks in a "presenting complaint and its differentials" centered approach to create better diagnosticians. You're a bit of a genius. Whatever neurodivergence you have it has made you really good at insight and pattern recognition and you have the language skills to "capture" those ideas and present them

[@letsdomath1750]

12:17 Although I have engaged in this process by using textbooks and Wikipedia articles when I have been really interested in a subject or romanticized the content at the beginning of a semester in college and graduate school, it is a most inefficient use of time when the course instructor is asking pretty mundane and rote questions on assessments. There are ways to build focus and memory beyond the use of mnemonics and memory palaces. Also, as you said, mental stability and stress levels play such a big role in learning and retaining information.

[@kyakarunmainmarrjaun]

this is impressive as hell. i was so demotivated. even though i've been researching on active learning skills for quite some time now, i still end up cramming and memorising everything word for word which obv takes a lot of time. but this was mind blowing. this kinda info is available everywhere but how to actually do that is so confusing. and you just helped with that. so grateful ❤

Thank you for your videos about learning and studying. It's not the usual tips but really digs deep into how our brain works. I also find memorizing hard and remember the things I learn through how I understand them. It also makes sense that our brain isn't empty to pour the information in. It is active, not passive. We already know things; we just need to learn how to relate the things that we need to know to the things that we already know.

Oh my god i feel so validated, this is how i learn when i really have/want to learn something in uni. It took years to figure out my system which is very similar, i call them my "ugly *ss notes". I literally always start out wanting to make aesthetic overviews but it devolves into crammed little textboxes, randomly wedged diagrams, arrows connecting stuff on different pages, borderline nonsensical colour coding - except it's all perfectoy clear to me. Absolutely unshareable tho. I sometimes doubt this technique when i see others just mark their lecture slides or type an abridged version of them into a Gdoc. I do that too, but not for the kind of classes where i know i need to write a final exam from memory.

[@ChaubanisChannel]

Your videos have helped me rethink my honestly stubborn and ineffective ways of traditional learning that I was taught were the "best" ways. Many of the methods you've mentioned I've tried intuitively but was always afraid that I might be doing "wrong" because it wasn't systemically prescribed. Would love to see a detailed video on the "art of note-taking" i.e., the times when it is truly effective. I've found that I rarely refer to my notes as I do not trust my previous self in recall and always refer to Sir Google or directly from the text again - and yet, can't seem to shake off the habit of note-taking, it's been so deeply ingrained. However, rare "pearls" especially when it comes to unique ways of explaining a concept (usually from a professor or preceptor) is the only time notes are important, because this information is rare and non-replicable. My uncontrollable desire to take meaningless notes could use an Elizabeth-style video explanation :)

Regarding your last comment that this is probably more suitable for medical/science students and you dont know how it is in the Humanities: as a philosophy student I can assure you that so much of the things you talked about are clearly also applicable for us! :)) I do especially relate to the part of having to put in the actual work and start from the roots of unstructured information vs. just reading a summary of it. That is why it is so important for us to actually READ the sources and the original texts of all the (classical) philosophers.

wow. Every so often, I return to this area of KZbin (medical youtuber/productivity/learning channels) but often find the same ideas regurgitated with nowhere near enough substance to warrant the length of the videos (which are themselves often simply another part of the endless 'edutainment' content that many of us, myself included, can't help but drown ourselves in to lull ourselves into feeling we've achieved something). This video, however, was so well thought-out and contained so many paradigm-shifting ideas, it must be one of the best videos on this topic I've seen in a long while (and might be my favourite video of yours I've seen so far). As a side note, the visuals on this video were phenomenal. I wish all KZbinrs could learn a thing or two about visual presentation from you - clear and straightforward and primarily using visual aids to help with either 1) understanding or 2) engagement through adding a touch of character, charm or fuel for the imagination, while resisting the temptations of flashy or over-stylised visuals (the KZbin equivalent of those spinning explosive powerpoint animations haha) that are so common (and so unnecessary) in these types of videos. I don't know how much you planned the whole video in advance but it all comes together really well :) I've been interested for the past year or so in optimising memory/learning strategies, so a lot of the basic principles addressed here I'm already familiar with to a degree, but something about the narrative of the presentation and seeing these principles applied in a specific context ('memorising' the inhuman amount of information tested on medical school exams) was so incredibly useful. I've left this video feeling inspired to apply some of the same approaches to my own projects and for once, actually having some idea of where to start. Thank you so much for all your work!

[@isabellaanglin9012]

Really enjoyed the video! In engineering school did something similar to Elizabeth when it come to writing down stuff from lectures. Rather than write down everything from the slides, just printed them, 4 per page, double sided and captured the stuff the lecturer would add that was actually important and gave a new insight on the side. This way, didn't waste time writing down formulas etc while missing important information that I wouldn't be able to find in a lecture notes or textbooks later. Never have had to rewatch a lecture because of this and makes studying afterwards so much easier.

3:07 Ok yes using someone else’s notes doesn’t really help, unless you redo them. The experience of you processing the info & manually doing it & creating those connections for sure does something. I’ve naturally just felt this though. 11:40 4:37 agreed. They provide the info. Then you have to process it, comprehend it etc. It’s actually crazy. That’s why I think it can be very difficult to learn something you don’t really want to learn. It’s like when you’re reading & you read a sentence & don’t comprehend it. If you don’t care about the topic. You might just stop there & throw your hands up & say you don’t get it. But when you care you read it over & over & eventually get it.

[@caglarsn]

I can see how this method makes sense and I even use some of it in my studies. Although, I’m quite hesitant about implementing this as a whole. My university and professors prepare questions that specifically cater to how they teach the material rather than knowing the topic on a wider spectrum. And even in board exams we’re faced with the same issue as aspiring physicians of my country. So I’m terrified of not checking lecture notes. If anyone else’s experiencing a similar situation as me and if you’ve tried this method, I’d love to hear about your experience. Great video as always🙏

[@jiahuizhou4594]

My takeaways: • Extract bits of relevant information from a primary source (not processed) and condense it all into a summarized text that you will use to study, review or implement in other works that need additional information. ➞ Summarized text or diagram or any other structure that requires you to be active in its creation to really learn, understand, and remember the connections you established and the way those connections were meant to be established, to interact with information as a creator, not as a consumer. [💎] The forms of representation provide the means through which meaning is made. - Elliot W. Eisner • On the go: write down spontaneous/interesting connections you've made on your own when learning something new, and translate formal info. to informal for better understanding and capture that simplified version of yours for revision. _____ Thank you, Elisabeth. I love your aesthetic taste in animating and editing these videos, and I love how in tune you are with your learning issues, so much so that you go through the trouble of finding these quite unique and unconvential ways to tackle learning. 💎💕

[@dus10dnd]

Oh yeah, I love the Moleskine notebooks and I always add a pen loop. Now, I use them quite differently. I get a new Moleskine notebook each year. I get a larger notebook, I would say a medium size of paper and it is hardback. Then, whenever I have any notes that I intend to take, I start on a new page that I date and write the subject at the top of the page. The notes can be however long I want them to be, many pages, a couple of paragraphs, but dating and starting a page with a subject helps to separate the notes. If I have another subject, I will keep it flowing if the subject is related to the previous subject (same knowledge domain), but I will start on a new page if they're unrelated). I have a large stack of notebooks as I have been doing this for about 10 years now. Dating them is rather helpful because I generally have a good idea of when I was taking notes. I rarely review my notes once I am outside a few days from taking them, so having the ability to sort through them quickly for those rare occasions is very helpful.

I'm a psychology student (coincidentally working on memory right now, so this video is helping with not only my study style but also my coursework) and I've been trying different methods of taking notes to see what works and what doesn't. So far, the most effective thing has been summarising lectures with multiple different ink colours so I can quickly flip through to find information I need. As for getting it to stick to my brain reliably I've been a bit stuck - there are random chunks that I remember because I'll get very interested and explain the concepts to my partner or friends. But while watching this video I got a piece of paper, went back through my notes and made a list of all the things I 'ought' to know for the unit. No notes/explanations, just names of theories, concepts, phenomena, and models. The notes I've taken are great for if I need a quick reminder of something specific and don't have the time/energy to comb back through the source material, but I feel like this list is all I really need to learn the content. I've been trying to simplify the content without losing important details (because I can't memorise a whole textbook cover to cover, unfortunately) and this strategy clicks well in my brain.

3:34 - I have a saying: "It's all the same except where it's different." Hanging new information on a structure I already understand is easier than trying to create a new structure somebody else understands.

Amazing! I think youre techniques are more realistic than what people show on Instagram and this honest way of sharing is just lovely!

[@GeorgeNyumbu-j5g]

There are things that I choose to memorize and things that i have to fully understand,so I draw a line to have two sides one on the same page,one side it's for things that I just have to memorize and the other side is for depth summarized information which i have to fully understand. Great technics i have to get one or two to add them on the ones am currently using. Thanks for the video

Modern western civilisation was responsible for compartmentalising Knowledge resulting in people who have lots of information in their heads but have little understanding of the practical application of such knowledge , something that is vital in the clinical setting. There are those who truly believe through experience that everything and I mean everything is connected. That was the principle upon which learning and teaching were based. Doc Filips touches briefly on this when she mentions a specific ophthalmic condition and the psychological connection between early onset visual impairment and overall cortical development. This is the key and it requires the learner not to assume information they receive is true unless they are able to answer every "but why"? Question that comes into their head. Why why why ? A question every child no natter their location colour language creed is asking all the time......indicating the innate nature of the human to want to know know why ...... so that they can make connections. Ask any parent on the planet. Great video, congrats on getting through med school big yin, and if our paths ever cross I will shed some light on the methodology of learning, Knowledge and understanding. Meanwhile I have something for you to ponder over...... in the same way that you have recognised that in the classroom they are teaching in a way that is not really conducive to the natural learning process there will come a day when you realise that there are so many huge connections between one sub speciality of Medicine and another but you as a physician are limited in your ability to discuss the management of your patient when the root cause lies in another physiological pathway. The best you can do is a referral and hope the recipient of your referral is not an arrogant arse and appreciates you trying to get to the root cause of the patients problem rather than treating symptoms all day. So in summary the health care system of the west is broke no differently than the education system is broke and patients suffering is a more acute issue than students suffering. You've got yer work cut out for ye, but..... we came up with.... let me see..... television, telephone, bicycle, steam engine (which gave rise to the industrial revolution) penicillin, antiseptics, cloning - wee dolly ..... and the phrase "get it up ye ya muppet" so don't get too comfy in a consultation room - that's not how the world is changed. Honestly I'm no winking at ye, yer a bonnie lass wi brains but av gote Duane's retraction syndrome - im just chewing on some gum.

Medical School is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant. Eventually, enough water gets in for you to do what you need, but you will forget far more than you ever remember. residency is where you actually learn to practice medicine.

[@user-xs9lx2vb9m]

The saying 'if you have to ask you will never know' means if you are given the answer, for example from Google search, you lose 90% of the understanding, compared to (as you have found out) using primary materials to search and discover the information yourself will give you so much more understanding.

[@victoriageorgopoulou4292]

@Elizabeth, I love your brain and how it thinks in a humain way about learning. I love the fact that you use neuroscience research to actually improve your own learning and then share it with others. I am in favour of active learning and of improvizing ways that fit depending on the person, the module, the time limitations, prior experience with the subject matter etc....thanks for being an inspiration.

[@cathoderay305]

I think the problem that exists is that notes, projections, and textbooks are 2-dimensional media but the brain stores and links information in 3-dimensions, depending on complexity of the data. The map that a notetaking program like Obsidian can produce, showing links between information, is a better representation of the brain's links and connections than any 2-dimension method.

[@davi.constante]

Most of the time, the real problem is time. Organizing and linking all the information in Obsidian-like apps consumes much time. As was said in the video, we should focus on understanding and linking the concepts instead of trying to digitally organize all the information. @JustinSung spreads the same information.

[@cathoderay305]

@@davi.constante Good point, transferring notes to a digital format is very time consuming and establishing the links also.

I am a teacher. I do not have a teaching degree or a credential. I have a BA in psychology and about 65% of a second in electrical engineering. Much of what you’re saying aligns well with my own experience teaching math & science. I wish you could speak to my students. They’ve been trained into attentive passivity and it just makes me crazy.

[@sambhramarao2996]

few mins into the video and i realized why i have been slacking and loosing interest in studies , it is because i am trying to memorize the topics and present them in the exam, which i hate, but the vastness of the syllabus scared me so i took others advice without thinking about it.
