- As a record-holding memory athlete, Simon Reinhard knows better than anyone that our memory is a powerful tool - and yet, it is very limited. After a spectacular demonstration of number memorization, he explains why we can remember things better if we put them into context, and teaches us how to go beyond the current abilities of our memory. With personal stories, he shows how this technique can help you at school, in your career, or even if you just want to make a point in a discussion.
Simon Reinhard was born in Munich and studied Law there, finishing in the top 7.5% of his class. During his university career, he came into contact with memory techniques; he learned that there was such a thing as „memory sports“, the competitive memorizing of different kinds of information (numbers, names, words, cards) in a set tournament format. He started competing right away and found it thoroughly fascinating to memorize more and more information with the help of techniques which use a set of locations and images.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I forgot to leave a comment last time . Glad I found this again. It almost 1 M views yet i feel like it should have 2 M at least as well i hope more people gain the interest for art of memory , still many either feels its not important or thet they cant learn it . People often have a negative self image or assume they are bad at learning or memorizing. Out of the many tedtalks i watched about this subject this has to be one of the best and it could be because he explained the practical ways or benefits in the daily life from gaining these menorization skills while others only talked about the competition which many have no interest in .
Very well explained... thanks sir
Amazing demonstration Simon!
Thank you very much for sharing! Great speech! Shared with all' my students!!! 🤗🥰👍
Turn out many memory athletes use method of loci. What a great one
Interesting stuff
it's amazing, I am willing to try it
the best and entirely amazing
Inspiring and creative.
Will come in handy for my theater work.
This is best for vocabulary. Great stuff.
Amazing talk!
I'll try it out for my finals
Did u pass? :D
Great job, Simon. Lots of great content in there, and you have a good delivery. Oh, and I totally got all 15 of those words! Ha, ha.
You also look like a man with a girls name! Ha, ha.
thank you
Keywords are hard to find info on. Thanks for explaining it
Teaching is art
The method is well-known as "Memory Palace" but the problem of the method is that I don't have 1000 locations/things in a fixed sequence (such as things you see everyday from your home to office, or things inside your house, etc.) to contain my 1000 keywords or more! What I want to memorize are some law provisions, including their sections numbers, content, etc.! Nobody has a palace that has 1000 rooms (i.e. locations)!!! Yes, you may create a "Palace" with 100 thousands rooms in your mind but you have to "walk" very very often to get familiar with the self-created palace in order to memorize it and highly likely you shall forget it not very soon.
A memory palace doesn't have to be the inside of a single building. It can be the inside and outside of several buildings. Go for a 1 mile walk, say, downtown. It can be all of the buildings and other sites you encounter along the walk. Walking and combining various sites along the way can create a huge memory palace.
Mnemonics don't require memory palaces. They're just useful for lists. You could for example take the title and section number and use those to create a picture. My own memory system would convert Title 35 section 175, for example, into Clint Eastwood dancing with a hive of bees (in a probably very distressed fashion.) I could then add extra imagery to summarize the content of that section.
No experience with law btw. This is just one mnemonic strategy I imagine someone could use that doesn't involve memory palaces.

were u able to find a solution to this?
@@mirkim9095 The solution is simple, use a game like Minecraft, create your virtual rooms and visit them daily, then you will remember all.
thanks
I really like this program because it is very useful for me, I can to improve listening english skill..

superb talking
just what i need 👍👍👍👍
great technique. BUT in the last part of Marcel Proust's Novel the protagonist finds the lost time back by memory. It is astonishing how this book has changed my life, and listening to this speech I became aware of it once more.
Whats the name of the novel?
@@ThePradeeshRaj "in search of the lost time" it's very long but worth it!
Wrong use of but.
The techniques used aren't new or innovative but the delivery of the explanations and the use of real-life scenarios make this speech impressive.
In fact, how interesting it is that the actual use of story telling in this speech, to help you understand the concept and retain its information, is a direct example of the concept itself! Using real-world scenarios to understand how using real-world scenarios is good for understanding!
The presenter felt a bit like a robot, I think he used a pretty strict method to memorize this speech too precisely, haha.
Its new to me
This kind of robotic delivery is common in Germany. In my past schools every second presentation is like that, structured to the bone. xd

Our memory has limitations, that I accept; but our memory is not limited.

Beliefs are nothing but short stories that are accepted to be true.. Change stories and see how your life changes.
good one

I can’t see clearly,please amplify words size
good shit
mrtoolegittoquit2 You are a very deep shit! (:
hiding your own easter eggs has some fun advantages when you cannot remember what day it is :-)
The key is setup a sequence of images for the informations you want to memorize.
Do we have images first and then connect information with the existing images? OR
Do we have information first and then find a sequnece of meaningful images for the information?
Information, first. In his example of a speech, one would write their speech, and them identify suitable locations and imagery to align with the speech.
Man cant even see the words, u need to icrease the size.
great
I want to learn loci technique to memorise a paragraph. Can anyone suggest me some videos ?
I also just remember these number in same time.
Then you are a genius
What if I want to memorize while reading a book with 30+ chapters and countless keywords? And I have 6 such books. You are citing only one example ,I am yet to come across any memory palace techniques that say something about memorising an entire book.
I haven't done this but we can recall an entire movie and its locations and scenes if we like it that much. I can use my avg iq to atleast get along with 2 subjects like computer and math, throughout the entire year, because computer and math have got to do with logic and logic is more like a string of dots that connects overtime, that, helps with the memorization. Both coding and math have math in it. Physics has math in it, so that should be easy for some people, if you understand the concept. remembering definitions in chemistry and biology terminologies might require mnemonics or such memory palace techniques to come to rescue.
what I do ? ...please tell me any solution
💙💜
So, when i memorize meanings of English words, i better to make a story using the target words in connection with the locations, right?
Yess! You could do that.
How do I learn more about this Technic that he's using?
it's called Loci technique!
Is there courses or a book I can find to teach me the method of loci?

Seriously when Simon repeated the places and said "wall" I did not remember seeing a wall in the image sequence hahaha :(
Can someone summarize this video
Method of loci 👨
I did not understand anything, my memory is still horrible, can somebody sum up this for me in a TL;DR for dummies?
to eat a whole loaf of bread 1st slice it and eat if it gets difficult to finish it. Add jam or butter whatever changes the taste in order to finish a whole loaf. Do this frequently as a challenge and you'll be eating a whole loaf with ease.

Is it memory palace technique
I think for the numbers in the start he use PAO
Yes, exactly! Not a new thing!

Rain man could remember everything; but it didn’t matter; except at the casino with Tom Cruise guiding him.
how we should remember the provisions of law, there are 1000 of them
When testing yourself, don't go like - "What does section 446 say?" instead go backwards - "Which section says XYZ?". Retrieving information from a number is hard (446). But it is much easier to recall a number from a block of text. Even in exams, you'll have the block of text and you just have to recall which sections contains that particular information. I hope you get what I'm saying.
He sure doesn’t want to reveal too much. Maybe they should have had the 10th place man or woman in the world’s competition come out and explain how to memorize numbers and explain more. So you memorize a key word...then memorize a picture but then forget the keyword and just keep the picture and then create a virtual reality world of going through a slide show of these pictures to remind you of keywords which remind you of sentences which remind you of ideas?
I mean it sounds outlandish, but it actually works. Humans have an innate ability to remember stories easier. Think about it, why do you remember characters and places from a TV show with near total recall, but forget peoples names in real life or the digits on your credit card.
why would you want to remember useless information? are you hoping to get into the show who wants to be a millonaire?
I saw the equation of how you got 24 at 1 min ? Is that bad.?

i think he'd already learnt number sequence as it's really hard to believe.
Everybody thinks that before actually trying the methods involved. I learned GMS a memorization system for numbers very well, (although the GMS course offers much more, this one I got down as a trained skill ) which translates two digit numbers into images in the brain that become reflex through practice. Now I can memorize, if I choose to, any number, basically no matter how big. 24 digits is actually a very small data set. I once memorized a 300 digit number using just that, the Cicero Method + Chain(link ) Method + Figurative Codes for Numbers ( the pictures that represent images). It took me about 6 seconds per connection, so 6 x150 two digit connections makes about 15 minutes time spent memorizing it.
You are basically limited only by the amount of support locations or images on which you can "connect" the number images.
according to a memory master in 2012, he's the world record holder for memorizing a pack of cards the same time usain bolt finished 200m..

Eidetic memory *does* exist, despite the speaker’s lack of belief. Examples of people with the skill have been presented for decades. I managed to develop some level of this skill myself
Teach me
I'm working on some videos and free course on this and related topics, but no launch date yet. Channel name to be determined
@@happyfreeky will it be on the account you have now. Ill sub
No, still deciding. I'll post the info on an associated Tumblr blog, Everlearning (everlearn.in)
I'm also interested in learning. Is the technique mind filling(a term I made up)? It's the idea that filling your mind to the max with with lots of objects or colors increases your ability hold more information in your mind at once, thereby increasing recall of images. With 15 days of practice I've noticed a major difference in being able to visualize fictional worlds when reading novels. I've sort of stopped as recently I've been thinking I'm onto a method of working memory practice as I believe I've experienced results as I can tell I can recall more information of what someone has said, but that's another story.
Anyway I look forward to your videos.

Ask your president to do the trick!? he seems to be doing good in test.
Yeah, I suffer from ADHD, this doesn't work.
You could try neurofeedback to start re-wiring your brain, it is a very successful technique for people with ADHD.
I have ADHD as well but these kinds of mnemonic systems allowed me to graduate with two degrees. I suspect you need more kinds of different mnemonic systems to make it work for you. See the 2nd half of Unlimited Memory by Kevin Horsley for systems I have used.
Ritaline works
how do I Delete this mess
It's not your video so you cannot delete it.
Nice success = smug nacissism!
CIA uses this technique, it simple and effective. Want to not forget it even under pressure then put meaning to thing you effortlessly :)
Just a little more volume please. No time to strain over poor audio. Stopped listening to yet another useful teddy talk !!
I can hear him fine here
same here 💔 the volume isn't good
you do know that there is a difference between memorizing and understanding?
I felt like I should listen coz he's wearing a suit
I stopped watching in the moment he said eidetic memory doesn't exist
Are you guys confusing eidetic and photographic memory?

if he can memorize everything why is he not trying to improve his English I'm just saying
What? His english seems perfect to me. He just has a German accent.
Well that was a whole lot of nothing
Use the Biden memory system; have someone write it on a card.
