- The Memory Palace technique for studying breaks down to having 5 core mnemonic strategies working together.
In this detailed tutorial, I'll share the five Memory Palace systems that I used for studying at York University and the European Graduate School. I still use this technique to this day in a modified version I also share with you for more casual remembering.
So if you want to master the Memory Palace technique for studying specifically, you're going to love this detailed tutorial.

Damn, I haven't seen Anthony's content in forever! I remember buying a udemy course from him on memory a lifetime ago. Glad to see you doing well and still in the memory space.
Thanks for checking this one out. Are you memorizing anything at the moment?
So excited to listen to this on my next car ride!
Hope you enjoy it!
IMO the most comprehensive memory palace video I've ever seen 👍🏼
Wow - thanks. That's high praise.
Have you been using the technique for a while?
I agree, this is so well put together. The 5 memory systems make perfect sense to learn beforehand. I wasn't successful on my 1st 00-99 because I didn't have enough associations and it was too slow and not too memorable. This made me realize why I was slow with the 00-99 PAO was that I didn't have a letter system. I didn't have symbol/imagery associations for my letters. For example: I am using Orange for O and A for arrowhead. Then I draw a picture of the Orange and the Arrowhead in the shape of the letter. Like a beastiary kinda? Orange just looks like and O and it starts with O. Thats why these specifically are dynamite for me because they are both phonetic, mnemonic, and literally symbolic. I am still working on my letter system but this should work for me because I can attatch these symbols to one alphabet memory palace with 26 loci. Then I will have easy access to recall and practice my associations branching off of my letters. No more forgetting which letter in the alphabet comes after another. I will be able to revive and fix my 00-99 PAO I think.
Power to you!
Studying for exams and I’m stressing. It’s the most important exams in my life. I’m going to use this. 🤞
Power to you!
Thanks for giving actual examples. I'm thankful to come away with things to practice.
Thanks for checking this one out and happy memorizing!
I’m fascinated by this topic, really enjoying this video. I am hoping to apply this knowledge to a 3 month polymathy sprint where I aim to learn a language, memorize the bible, and build my own zettelkasten. I am really intrigued by the idea of using memory palaces with a physical zettelkasten in same way, but need to brainstorm that a bit. In any case, thanks for the amazing lecture!
Love your enthusiasm and your goals!
If you haven't seen it, here's a deep dive into the Zettelkasten I did a few months back:

@@AnthonyMetivierMMMThanks, excited to watch this!
The book 'the memory code' Lynne Kelly talks about Stone Henge being a memory palace. Fascinating..
Yes, I discussed that with respect to visual memory techniques here:
czcams.com/video/gCanl6I8sjU/video.html
This is a comprehensive video and I love it. It covers a lot of topics about memorization❤😊
🙏
memory palace is supplementary to encoding! Deeper processing is the first encoding method followed by spaced repetition ( retrieval practise ) , memory palace is useful to remember random isolated facts
🙏
Memory palaces are not analytical tools, they are memory tools. I have found that I can do much better analytical thinking with a wealth of information stored via palaces.
So, on that note, I would say memory palaces are good for far more than memorizing assorted collections of facts. It's quite easy to use them to memorize histories, logical arguments presented by authors, important numbers, formulas, etc. This information is the stock of higher level thinking.
If you studied ancient and medieval thinkers you would see that the memory palace is not only useful for isolated information. This idea of isolated information developed in the late 1800s. Most people tied the memory palaces to virtue, meditation, composition, and rhetoric.
Indeed, and many thanks, Ronald.
Do you have a sense of when in the 1800s this happened and via which thinkers/writers?
I have thought it probably started earlier with Ramus, but would love to know your thoughts and research on this.
I love all your work! Glad I found this. Keep on keep in on
Thanks for your kind words and the encouragement. Will do, at least do my best. :-)
Your content is excellent, I’ve enjoyed it immensely.
🙏
Am definitely saving this
Great video Anthony. I've bought a memorise the Stoics which I'm using to help me build my memory palace. Once I've done that I will revist your course.
That is an interesting book. I wish I had reached out to him while he was still with us for an interview.
Thank you for making this video for us. Much appreciated. Regards from Oslo.
Thank you, as well. I'm very fond of Oslo and have a few Memory Palaces from my visit there!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Oh, nice. I am curious, so may I ask where from? If you ever need some specific ones, just let me know. But I imagine you like to visit these places personally to create MP's, which is very understandable if so. I wish you a good day.
Many thanks for that.
I usually like to visit the locations myself (at least for MPs I use for substantial learning goals).
I'm from way out in western Canada, but in my heart I am from memory and into memory I shall eventually return.
I'm so glad CZcams recommends me this!!! You've got a new subscriber 😁
Thanks for joining us! Are you currently memorizing anything?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yes, i'm currently trying to memorize all the tips listed in "Little book of talent" by Daniel Coyle, and i'm so excited to implement memory palace that i've just learnt from your channel tonight (and i've just visited your speed reading playlist, love the excitement that emanated in every videos. The excitement is contagious 😁
Thanks a lot for sharing this method, Anthony!! i'm so pleased that my CZcams-watching session suddenly turned into 'real' learning instead of just Mindlessly scrolling videos 😅
Great project!
I have Coyle's The Talent Code and sometimes refer to it. He's a really great writer.
YT and many other aspects of the net can be absolutely wonderful. To help steer things in the best possible direction, I always keep print journals and index cards at hand to take notes from serious content, and...
... as a visual reminder that there is always serious content to be had.
Power to you and talk soon!
Thank you for the knowledge sir 🙏, you seem to be getting more and more mature about the principle of learning and memory
Hopefully more playful too! ☀️🧠📚🙏
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM 👍
Harry Lorayne, Tony Buzan,(mind mapping guy in 80s) techniques to investigate..authored few books. Ironically I find memorizing info now much more difficult.. but always liked familiar journey and creating visual associations or using logical structured frameworks as well.. These days I forget or not prompted by associations! Still these are millennia old techniques well worth practicing from childhood. 👏👍
What kinds of material are you memorizing?
Your point about not using fiddly experimental mind palaces for studying in college is one I had to learn the hard way when I tried to use some of the Lynne Kelly memory tools for the first time in one of my classes, I ended up learning very little for the first few weeks, my grades suffered, and I got behind, I had to ditch the memory stick I was trying to use, pull out a familiar mind palace, and work like mad to get caught back up using the straightforward methods. If I had only been warned about this beforehand, and taken it to heart, I would have had a much easier time and saved the experimental stuff for my personal projects where the only consequence of it not working is a lesson learned in what not to do.
Thanks for sharing this experience.
There's some memory stick stuff going on in the current draft of Vitamin X to help show a more likely use for the technique.
Only problem is that the book is so crazy complicated (yet has to read simply)... but getting there bit by bit!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMMIt would be great if you put a rectangle box with CAUTION written on it and mention common mistakes.
One part of being good at something is knowing all the things NOT to do and ways that people fail or slow down their progress.
Making mistakes is many times so contextual that it's important to not assume that I know who is going to make what mistake.
It is possible, however unlikely, that @dinninfreeman2014 might have really glommed onto the approach and revolutionized field. Thus, each to their own remains the ne plus ultra of learning.
@@strivingslave5962 often times you only know once you try but it's good to try in lower stakes situations (I had just gotten excited)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I'll settle for recreating what works from the traditions
Utilized this technique to self teach Mandarin (on-going), also I just did a podcast about-Ivan Illich. "In The Vineyard of The Text" asking listeners for their comments- to answer What is their Commentary to Hugh's Didascalicon. I utilized your MMM to help me here also!
Thanks Dr. Anthony
That's so great, Bill. "In the Vineyard of the Text" is such a great book, as is Didascalicon. Let's continue keeping them alive and well!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM
I agree! "In the Vineyard of the Text" offers a fascinating perspective on reading, especially considering it delves into a historical period quite different from our own.
Given all the yapping we can't stop doing on the Internet, I think our times are getting to be much closer to the era described in that book. Many people are struggling to find the silent reading that this book shows came into existence at a certain point. It will be interesting to see what happens from here on in, but finding a silent vineyard will be key for one and all, I'm rather sure.
It's very weird, images as you say in this video are not about visualizing but about using logic, so basically becoming a storyteller and making yourself each character to feel like you are them and to see the world (actions and loci) and to feel those feelings so you can create a certain type of flashbulb memory which is a term in psychology that refers to a memory formed from a highly emotional experience.
I have recently experimented with this and benavente's memory palace to make lots of space for each of my interests and subjects in university
benavente's memory palace is certainly a hard to find topic because there is not much about him on the internet but I think you may know about it.
There is a relationship to be made to flashbulb memory, though in my practice, I do not think of it as "story." Story is very complex and, frankly, more work than is needed. But... as a novelist, I'm perhaps overthinking the term.
As for Benavente's Memory Palace, the same basic ideas are in Bruno. Note that Bruno did not necessarily use what he taught in exactly the way he explained it, and that is in fact a given: there are too many words to explain these techniques in too many ways.
This is why I stress the importance of 90-days of practice minimum with any given technique. As Bruno pointed, anyone who puts in enough time will discover the entire art of memory and arrive at the exact same conclusions about it as every other practitioner. The nature of information guarantees it.
Your so great thank you
🙏
Anthony, your discussion on creating memory palaces with stable, familiar locations inspired me to think about how we could apply this concept in education.
Imagine if schools were designed with architecture and art that serve as memory palaces. Key statues, murals, and layout could represent core knowledge areas and subjects, allowing students to build subconscious memory maps as they navigate the school. This layered approach could provide students with a lifelong cognitive framework, enhancing their ability to recall information effortlessly. It’s like embedding an encrypted gift of knowledge within their everyday environment. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea!
This is good thinking.
There is something like that going on at the end of the current Memory Detective novel I'm writing. Whether or not it will make a dent in the mind's of those who work on educational reform... that is unknown, but unlikely.
In a cynical sense, some have suggested that schools and factories are like hospitals and prisons in how they organize time precisely to create compliance in those who move through them, which will in turn condition what is possible in their minds. It's older, but I think Zuboff's In the Age of the Smart Machine is still relevant for its thoughts on the relationship between work and learning and the "real" goals of those who build the physical places we spend our time in.
That said, I don't' think "subconscious memory maps" is the key. We want it all as highly conscious as we can make it. Derren Brown suggests something similar in one of his books, and he knows a lot about what is and isn't "subconsciously" received. I can't spill any of his magical secrets, but it's not what it seems and Tricks of the Mind and its reflections on memory speaks volumes to those who either can read between the lines or can do that and practice magic and mentalism themselves.
You could be right and I could be wrong, but I can't see how memory training and subconscious efforts quite hang together. Quite the opposite, which is one of the reasons why the theme appears so strongly at the end of Vitamin X and will be key throughout the rest of the Vitamin X series. And with any luck, some of these ideas will be taken up in the real world, but I think we'll need a lot more than luck and a whole lot of highly conscious initiative.
I have Aphantasia(No mental imagery at all) like Glen Keane Disney and Google the man who created The Beast at Disney, Blake Ross who created Mozilla,Ed Catmull Pixar founder and Turing winner. We are 3% of mankind we thrive in computer science,maths ...We CANNOT visualize any sheep to count when we were kids. I thought it was a metaphor. We think in facts, synthesis, emotions and balance.
Aphantasics exist who have done very well at memory competitions nonetheless. Please see:
czcams.com/video/y0Z88TSKejw/video.html
More on this next week with a scholarly reference to how blind people use this technique well too.
Full time I was surprised, when I saw the video
I’m sure that you get this question a lot. But I honestly wish there was a way I could use a memory palace to remember literally everything. That way I wouldn’t have to be super specific when intentionally trying to remember certain things. I just wish there was a way to do that. I’ve seen your other awesome videos about intentional memorization using memory palaces. And I know memory palaces are just one part of a person’s tool kit and are not meant to be used for everything. But do wish I could just know what info I needed to remember later instead of wishing I had stored it into a palace. If you have any advice for this that would be really helpful.
I've actually covered how I believe the Renaissance Memory Palaces treated a very similar longing in this video:
czcams.com/video/NcM3VBdlIvc/video.html
It's certainly helped me and hope it will give you some solace and ideas to try.
Hi Anthony. Thanks for the video. I'm on your email list and I've been waiting for a video like this. For the memory palace technique with the books -pages as loci, in your experience does it work for you to make an outline of pages first and skip the ones that have repetitive information/contents to keep "breathing room" as you say between pages?
I'd have to make an outline to try what you're suggesting, but if I was going to go to that trouble, I'd use the card method.
There is more breathing room in some cases than others with this technique, but in the way my mind approaches it, there's not enough space for Recall Rehearsal no matter how I approach it. Even if I increase the size of the book in my imagination a zillion times, it doesn't allow for the same kind of Recall Rehearsal as a standard Memory Palace.
As in the video, I use this approach for casual remembering and it does have a slightly higher rate of error. But not much, provided that not too much is tackled from any given book. If I had needed to take an exam based on that book, there's just no way I would use this technique.
Your mileage may vary, so if you give it a go, please let me know the results one way or another.
Question when you were talking about numbers having their own images such as the Cheshire cat, is that the universal image you use for the number specifically or does the same number have different images depending on the specific book or other information you have. Basically is 97 always the Cheshire cat no matter what you're trying to to remember or will 97 be different depending on the specific info?
Great question.
I always use the Cheshire Cat for 71 no matter what the book might be or the reason I’m memorizing 71.
Pac-Man is my 97, by the way.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM ahh gotcha thank you for the concise answer, and that makes a lot of sense I appreciate it.
You bet!
Perfect video ❤❤❤
How about making a video about working memory and how get improved in future
Thanks for this suggestion.
What specific questions are still lingering in your mind that hasn't been covered by the plethora of information available about this topic?
Further, what makes you feel that you need to improve your working memory (as opposed to the other types of memory)?
Knowing these details will help me think further about what a great video on this topic might be like for you.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM i think you got my suggestion wrong i won't to improve all aspects of my memory not only just working memory but i won't to sea it is possible to improve working memory
Because so many of people say working memory is just genetically i won't to know it's true or not
If you found out that there was a genetic aspect to working memory, would you stop wanting to improve it?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM no😅😅😅😅
In that case, I think you could spend an entire lifetime trying to answer the genetic question. And your working memory would be well-served by doing your own research on the topic.
I have a post on my site about it if you want to look it up, but it doesn't discuss it exactly the way you're asking for, so all the more reason to make your own research project out of it.
I'm guessing this video Will get viral some time around.
Thanks for sending positive vibes!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM the book name ?

Nice video! Apart from studying, where you know what information might come in handy, how do you memorize things that don’t immediately appear useful? You can’t be consciously using the memory palace technique as it adds cognitive load. Can we use it automatically without realizing it?
I wouldn't say that we unconsciously use this technique, but it is theoretically the case that all information is spatial. And since the brain is a spatial object and information moves around inside of it, the entire premise of the Memory Palace technique is that it optimizes something about what we're already doing with respect to spatial information being encoded into chemical baths that are inherently spatial unto themselves.
But in order for the technique to optimize the process of remembering, it's beyond me how that could happen without conscious application. It's possible, though.
As for how to memorize information that doesn't appear immediately useful, please say more about what you mean. Without further clarification, I can't quite imagine why I would memorize anything that doesn't strike me as useful. Implicit memory carries more than enough useless stuff into long-term memory as it is.
Hi Anthony! Thank you for all your work on this topic! I am trying to use memory palaces for studying law and have some questions.
So, I first mark the key words, then create images and put them in the context at the end. Is it normal to forget which image is for which term? And is it a good strategy to repeat the images first, without terms behind them, until the memory palace is etched in memory? Or It's better to repeat them both at the same time?
Thanks for this.
It is not normal to forget the images, but it does happen a lot when the images are "created." There doesn't need to be any of this going on.
The Magnetic Memory Method teaches you to use images that are already etched in memory, as discussed in some detail here, with issues that every serious mnemonist should consider:
czcams.com/video/myN7wCWDWCI/video.html
Hope it helps! :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Sounds reasonable. There are many abstract concepts in law, so I thought it's better to create images at some point. Thank you, I'll look!
It's precisely because there are abstractions that we don't want to spend time creating images. Only assigning them.
For all things abstract and conceptual, please see:
czcams.com/video/pBYBu-Qystc/video.html
Anthony , i am actually using memorized palaces lately and i am pretty good with visualising . I remembered and stored the whole connective tissue with our neighborhood tree, i entered the tree and then the cave got divided jnto many paths, like classificatiion of connective tissue,and now every single fact and detail is stored in those caves. I just visualise myself roaming in those cave and it's a 1 minute revision. So can i continue using my own palaces?
Great that you have such strong visualization skills. One thing to explore is the realm of the virtual Memory Palace.
I don't cover each and every angle in this video, but you'll find some ideas to explore in it:
czcams.com/video/myN7wCWDWCI/video.html
Enjoy and just shout out if you have further questions.
good
Hi Anthony. I’ve bought your course and started with the Masterplan. I’ve almost got all my letters list done. I’m doing this as I progress through the course.
I am in the slow process of learning a few languages, ie Chinese, German, Italian, Spanish and French. Do I need to make a separate list of A-Z memory palace for each subject I study. Eventually I also want to remember poems, the Bible and more.
Perhaps I’ll find the answer as I go through the course, but I would appreciate a quick explanation if that’s ok with you.
Thank you for the magnificent course.
Thanks for being in the course! 🙏
Personally, I would (and have) made individual networks for different languages. When I studied to pass level III in Mandarin, for example, I assigned an entirely new Memory Palace Network from the one I used for German.
When I memorize scripture, I still tend to use an alphabetically-aligned Memory Palace, but not always. But an example of how I’ve done it alphabetically looked at from a different angle is when I memorized the Upadesa Saram - the title starts with U, but the first word of the first verse starts with K. So I used a Memory Palace based on Kelvin Grove where I was living at the time.
Basically, I’m fairly disciplined about how I use the principles. But sometimes I bend them a bit just like that.
Does this way of looking at things make sense and help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Ok. So a network = a list of Memory Palaces labeled A-Z? So when studying say 4 different languages, I will have to come up with 5 lists of A-Z places/locations? That’s kind of a tall order! I’m still struggling completing my 1st list. I’ll have to keep my eyes and mind wide open, by the looks of things! But like you say, it does get easier with time and practice so here goes! Thank you.
You don't have to do it that way, and sometimes I don't. There are many compounding effects available over time.
The key is to get the first Memory Palace Network up, running and populated with your first round of words in one language. Once that is done, I'm confident you will see the world in a completely new way and not think thousands of Memory Palaces is a tall order.
Just wait until you come across the locker technique further on in the program, for example. Amazing mental adventure and substantial progress await! :-)
What do you think would be the ideal spacing between stations? In Ad Herrenium I think Cicero gave 30 feet as an example, but that feels a bit too much for indoor palaces...In your opinion what should be the best spacing between stations to utilize as much space as possible without cramping?
I'm not sure there is a one-size-fits-all ideal spacing. There's always a bit of ongoing estimation.
Long-story short: As you grow with memory techniques, you'll get a feel for what works best. And you'll be able to shift things here and there as you go if necessary.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Awesome thanks :D
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Another thing i needed to clarify:
In KAVECOGS, Kinesthetic is like being in your own body while feeling Ant-Man's body (as if you have some sort of spider sense or are feeling an aura), while spatial is being in Ant-Man's body and feeling what he would feel. Correct?
That's one part of it, yes. There's more nuance for those who go "full ninja," and there's a bit of a clue in that phrasing for you.
Мнемоника простая вещь. Каждый из нас с детства знает секрет к совершенной памяти и интуитивно пользуется им. Но потом забывает.
Вспомните что вы делали с информацией в детстве и вы сможете создать любую мнемонику когда пожелаете
Dipping into childhood memories does indeed help, and also memories from all parts of life.
Im part of the magnetic memory i have not completed the course yet. Hoping to continue soon😢
Enjoy when you get to it and thanks for being part of the mission! 🙏
Is there a video where I can see how this is done? See someone actually doing it to understand the mind process?
There are many videos like this, but they do not make much of a difference from what I've seen over the years. You're literally looking at someone talking about associations you haven't produced for yourself in a place you haven't been.
The problem of not having been in the space yourself is discussed in-depth here, particularly. near the end with research references you can consider for yourself:
czcams.com/video/myN7wCWDWCI/video.html
What does make a difference is putting examples aside and experimenting with the process of turning theory into action. You'll see countless comments on my channel of people describing this exact outcome happening for them and it is a commonality amongst all memory competitors who have been on my channel, amongst many other people who have put the techniques into action and been able to produce a result.
So as far as I can tell, if you want to understand the mental processes involved, the steps are clear and experience is the example.
Hey my friend 👋 I'm Brazilian, and im learning English with you, but its not very easy 😅😂
You can do it!
For many years, I have read some techniques and some books for this memory and when I research about all this, can this be possible? It was in my mind since a long time that it is possible that any book It is possible to remember the page number
word by word and page number so that the memory places andMnemonics This can be done by converting page numbers and numbers in page numbers into images.
i mean jo antere test book word to word in my mind?with every single word and peg number?
Every single word is not what I'm discussing. Not even close. Please see:
czcams.com/video/eIQRiqQFKQY/video.html
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM ok i'll take a look now thanks you. Many people learn a lot from your CZcams channel and all the tutorials. I pray that you always remain well
Is this a skill or a mental trick?
I asked Harry Lorayne question once. He said the answer gets into semantics because both skills and tricks produce effects.
Hey Anthony!! I'm currently preparing for medical college entrance test and its a lot of information...random facts..the only method i know is to read again and again sometimes i use Active recall too...but it's not proving to be enough...i forget... I'm starting to doubt myself that learning and memorizing is not for me....can you help plz
I probably can help. How do you learn performance-based skills best?
Books, videos like these or one-on-one coaching?
Books just books
That's great. I've written a lot of them if you want to give some of them a read. Probably The Victorious Mind is best for getting your confidence back and setting you up with a powerful set of memory skills.
Could someone summarise in a single paragraph what "The Memory Palace Technique" for studying is-that is, specifying what that "technique" is?
There are countless one paragraph summaries of this technique, though it is highly unlikely anyone will learn the technique without:
* Theory
* Implementation (as discussed in this video and for the suggested length of time)
* Practice
Это сенсорная метафора. Любая форма сенсорной метафоры. Визуальная звуковая и так далее. Даже есть ментальные кинетические метафоры

The easiest path is to combine them and be able to rotate through them as needed on a case-by-case basis. Due to the constant unevenness in information, this point is key.
Hi Anthony, do you think our brains can change? What if I have never been good at studying even though I spend so many hours on books? Is there a reason? I’d love to know your answer!
Rewiring the brain (neuroplastic change) is real and there is a good chance you can enjoy it.
The question is, do you want to change? And will you do the things that change requires?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Hi Anthony, thanks for your reply. Yes of course, I am willing to do that. What should I do? Memory places are good but without the right knowledge I think it may be difficult to use them. Any thoughts? 🙏🏼
It's difficult to predict what is the "right" knowledge for different people, but I do my best to describe what I've done and how I've done it.
Basically, it comes down to either:
* Taking notes from free content and crafting a schedule for implementing the required actions
* Taking notes from paid books or courses, which generally saves a lot of time because these aren't interrupted by constant ads and other distractions (provided you close all other tabs so you can focus)
* Getting coaching
In all things, Memory Palaces aren't difficult to use, but you might need to rewire your brain so you stop thinking that there is anything difficult about memory techniques at all. Fifteen years ago the struggles people are expressing today were unheard of, and that says a lot.
Anyhow, change is possible and the options are available. I myself combined option two and three and am very careful around online material as much as I can be because it also rewires the brain, usually not in the favor of the serious learner who wants substantial growth and real accomplishment.
Does this way of looking at things make sense and help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Anthony, thank you so much. I will try my best. Honestly your blog has been helpful, it’s simple, easy to navigate and goes straight to the main sources. I wish you a great day - Your fan from Italy 🇮🇹
Thanks so much for giving it a read.
One thing you can do is read Giordano Bruno on the art of memory in Italian. Or Latin if you know the language. He wrote amazing training materials in both languages for the serious mnemonist.
What book is in the thumbnail?
The Victorious Mind: How to Master Memory, Meditation and Mental Well-Being.
I find that for me, the more absurd and funnier the images I create in the memory palace, the better the retention.
I also follow a principle when creating images in my memory palace. I try to make the object as close or familiar as possible with the actual thing I'm trying to memorize. The image should "look","sound" and "seem" like with the actual thing.
I also find that having a lot of experience is generally better because you have a lot of familiar information to anchor or draw from.
Even without the visualization of a place or "memory palace" this works really well for me, as long as it is connected to something you're strongly familiar with.
for example, instead of a specific place you visit, a story or event you remember can be used as a "memory palace"
Yes, making images strange and funny is great. I've found that I need less of that these days, though.
You're very lucky if you can memorize vast volumes of information based on stories. Events would take place in space, however, so I don't see that they are in some way different than Memory Palaces.
Depending on the story, a similar principle would be in place.
Merci pour ce partage. Est que le 1p-LSD peut aidé à se souvenir d'évènements oubliés ? C'est ce que je crois. Peace & love
I haven't seen any research on this, but would suggest that if events aren't encoded, they aren't likely to be recalled. The brain deprecates a lot of things as well and also confabulates. So I don't know if it's really the case that any substance can "rewind and repair" forgetting issues, especially since memory itself appears to be chemical in nature. Change forward seems to be the trend, not in any way retroactive without forward alteration.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Thanx for your feedback. I am currently memorising all the songs of our intemporal popular artiste called GEORGES BRASSENS. I am know approaching 80 songs....and i am wondering if there is no limit in human memory capabilities ?
The notion of "limit" is very interesting. I suggest looking into issues in information and computational science like set theory, recursion and in art the mise en abyme.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Thanx for your feedback
Hii namaskar
What do you mean by connecting each other without beng connected
I think You are trying to say that there is no need to exert any influence from outside, it is automatically connected, identify it and it will be connected to its understanding concept ? Is it right
Something like that, yes!
Ultimately, what exactly is happening in memory is beyond name and form. Yet, paradoxically, it generates many names and forms.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM You mean there is some neuro connection
That is not what I meant to express, but theoretically, I believe memory scientists do think that there is a physical transformation at the neuronal level that we can actively participate in by using memory techniques. The dendritic spines seem to be much stiffer and information flows faster through the synapses it seems when we train our memories. It's almost like tending a garden.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I understand hmm I am properly in spirituality i call it Parallel Universe Emotions If I understand your words it means to That which is beyond name and form, you mean any physical form. In Zen, we don't find the answers. We loose the questions. Which paradoxically gives rise to many names and forms .Then there is nothing else but by repeating our thoughts again and again our thoughts are being transformed into physical form thankyou
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM hmm Yes, I understand, but you mean electrical impulse.And what you told today comes through Snapchat, so I don't know its full science, so can you tell me in short, it will be good for me now and secondly, right now I am stuck somewhere, later I will take a course on Magnetic Memory. I will give percentage
Oh, I see a naughty book on your shelf.
Only one?
Does the mnemonics technique include questions? Sir please say🙏
In what sense?
I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're asking.
Have you considered developing the five mnemonic systems discussed in this video?
How to lern nemonic technique in question answer.
It's generally better to memorize the main points. If you know the core information, the questions don't need to be memorized because they evoke the answer.
Sir please give your WhatsApp number
I want to know how many book you really read in your life and ho many book you have really memorize❤
Although I've memorized long passages, I don't memorize books in their entirety. That would not be an effective use of time and energy. I do this instead:
czcams.com/video/eIQRiqQFKQY/video.html
In terms of how many books I've read, I think this is a misleading question. There are many articles and certain times of cinema and music involve levels of reading.
Thus, I would avoid playing a game of "magic numbers." It is more important to read and remember, not wave amounts around as if some exact number matters. It's what we do with knowledge in the end that counts.
Does this way of looking at things make sense and help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM great thanks a lot
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM So can reading a passage directly be as difficult as reading the entire book and then remembering the passage and doing it?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I mean it is effective as compair to whole Book message I completely agree with you, this knowledge is not whether you have accepted it, knowledge is how much interest you have in it and how much you have done use it But when we read the book, we understand the entire book and get connected with the mindset of the author and secondly this is happening in the same way, in this way you are telling that if you want to read a summary from CZcams Became equal to
When we read the entire book and understand it ourselves, it remains in our mind.
I don't find in my experience that it's entirely necessary to understand information in order to remember it.
And clearly many people are in the same boat. They can quote scripture at you, but don't seem to understand it, judging by how they behave.
I wanna be wicked smart
Make it happen!
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thanks I will ❤️
Good evening, Anthony. Does this really work?
If you use the techniques, yes.
Why would he post it if he thought it wouldn't work?
I would not. The beauty of teaching this technique is precisely that there is nothing to prove.
I have, naturally, demonstrated that I can use it many times, in many contexts and locations.
But even if I could not, it is possible to still teach it relatively well. There's even a famous book by someone who never used the techniques herself and it has helped me and others all the same:
czcams.com/video/TG5Fdilr9YI/video.html
In other words, the burden of proof has been met for thousands of years and in more pages of scientific reporting than anyone has time to read. And that's why teachers are needed: new people who are not aware of this come into awareness each and every day.
Let's keep promoting the wonderful Memory Palace technique!
My sis doll house worked best for me?
What did you successfully memorize using it?
Hello, I am an Arab from Iraq. Because of my mother tongue, I did not understand the way numbers are linked to the memory palace.
There are a few ways you can do this.
What are your goals for using the technique? It might not be necessary, or there might be one specific way that it will be helpful for you.
Dude, I'm literally also an Arab from Iraq what a coincidence to see this comment in a 30k video about memorizing
Can anybody summarize this video in some words
The inefficient outcomes of summaries is precisely why long videos are needed and becoming increasingly successful. Let’s stop snippetizing things and promoting intellectual laziness.
I hate random B-roll clips. What does it add? Just makes editing your video longer.
It adds a lot, actually, and there is much to say about the topic, actually. I encourage people not to hate anything, though.
For that, please this video that would have almost certainly been a lot more successful if it was twice as long and had multiple interludes:

But guess what? Even in 2024, in our utopia of free content, some people still found that they had time to complain about something. Food for thought that might add back what some people lost imagine has been taken away from the biggest feast of free knowledge our species has ever seen.
So in other words we shouldn’t be Moonwalking with Einstein???
"Be" or "read"?
Read everything, if you want my opinion.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM you said it isn’t a good practice to overdo things, like walking thru walls or perhaps using complex imagery as placements in a memory palace!! So I was wondering whether such a paradigm would apply.
There's a difference between Memory Palaces and mnemonic associations. We definitely want to "overdo" the associations themselves, and all the more reason to avoid category confusion like this.
As far as I know, Michael Jackson never actually moonwalked on the moon, but if he had, it would make a great Memory Palace, I'm sure.
People have in fact used it, as discussed here:
czcams.com/video/9QF4AihKmbo/video.html
Make short videos it is too much long.
Write long comments. This is much too short. 🙏
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM damn. Nice 😂
I do my best to call out the truth - In fact, just today one of my private clients thanked me for making such long videos.
He said they're helping him restore his attention span.
This totally makes sense to me because I generally avoid short content myself.
As great as the short doses might feel, it doesn't seem like short content is really paying off for the world all that well.
Anyhow, I don't mean to be preachy, but I know for myself that I learn better from long-form content.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM you're absolutely right. Long Form of information is more useful than any that is short. I have ADHD ......and I tend to jump from videos to videos in the name of "Gaining Knowledge" but what I end up doing is.... Nothing. It's funny how I Procrastinate about literally Anything.
I still haven't successfully tackled that issue of mine....tbh, idk how. But I guess Long Videos of Information, like Audio books, helps my brain to not wander off to Thousands of directions.
I'm yapping. But now I'm feeling good about it.
Procrastination can be worked on. I know I've made serious gains, and all from just following some very simple steps.
There just has to be a willingness to make the change.
