If you already use PAO, there is no point in downgrading to PA. PAO is actually based on Person Action (PA) System, which is taken to a higher level by adding an object to each character. In this way, with a single PAO image you memorize 50% more than the PA system.

If you are an auditory learner, the Major system is likely to work better for you than the PAO system, which is more suitable for kinesthetic learners. Combining one person with the action (unusual for him) of another and with the object of a third person (also unusual for him) creates an image that is strange and unusual, and therefore very memorable. In practice, it is not that difficult to memorize such unusual images, especially if you place them in locations of a known memory palace and make a connection between that location and your image. It's simply hard to forget, for example, Mickel Jackson flying on a crocodile on the ceiling of your bedroom. PAO's most difficult task is creating a list of unmistakable characters, actions, and objects.

I assume you mean the combination of Pao and Major System rules to create a list of 100 person-actions and objects. For example for 00 (SS in the major system) instead of using a random person, you can use a person who has the initials SS (Silvester Stalone) together with an action based on the same letters in the major system (for example "assess") and an object ('oasis"). The idea is excellent, because such a system would give you clues every time, but it is extremely difficult to find the actions and objects that match the person.

Try the Scalm Method: th-cam.com/video/sI4baBRncGA/w-d-xo.html

You could, for example, somehow link that thread to the last object. If this object is a pen and the last digit left alone is 8, you can imagine an 8 drawn on the pen, or you can use the image of a set of 8 pens instead of a pen. Anything is allowed as long as it helps you remember.

By using this method, we are creating an unusual (and, therefore, very memorable) image of a person performing another's action. These images require a strong association, that you can instantly remember, between the character and his action. For this reason, you need certain reminder clues, and associating numbers with letters will help you increase the speed of memorization and recall. To use an analogy from the IT field, it's much easier to find a record in a table when the table have an index . That's what letters codes do. 2. Memorizing the sequences of numbers is always done in groups of four digits. Each group will become a person doing the action of another person. For example, 59656835 is memorized like this: 59-65 becomes the image of "Emperor Nero -playing tennis" and 68-35 becomes "Sherlock Holmes- lassoing". 3. You can find the answer for odd numbers above: memorization is done in groups of 4 and for this reason it was necessary to transform 0 into 00, 1 into 01, etc., in order to become persons+ actions

Thank you for your response! 1) It makes sense that it makes the list easier to memorize. I personally prefer creating "free" person + object pairs, since I think that allows for more freedom in finding "unusual and, therefore, very memorable" images, since I am not bound to having, for example, to find a person whose first name starts with an A, and last name starts with a B (maybe I don't really know a person / character that even fits, which would force me to include a person I have zero connection to). The same is true for the action part. If a system leads to me having "reading the news" and "reading the newspaper" as two distinct actions, then something is flawed (at least for me, these two would not be nearly distinct enough to work properly, yet I've seen them in actual lists, since they fit the persons they belonged to). I very much doubt recall speed and precision is affected by this, once the list is properly memorized and practiced. Since at that point you're not actually taking the detour to decode it - the association between person / action and number is already made. 2) I don't understand how this relates to binary numbers. As mentioned, a set of 64 persons + 64 actions would already allow you to learn them in groups of 12 - 6 per person, and 6 per action. So a "base set" of 100 persons and 100 actions would be able to cover that, no? 3) Transforming 1 into 01 makes no sense to me if the sequence ends on 1. e.g. 37-36-37-1. This is different from 37-36-37-01. What stops us from having 10 additional persons + actions (for each 1-digit number), to cover a case like this? @@ChrisMNemo

@@pr-pc8fq 1. You can create your casting of people and actions as you wish, as long as you manage to learn it and use it without confusion. From my experience, I can tell you that choosing the actions for the initial casting, so that they are unmistakable, is a very difficult task. 2. For binary numbers, another approach is used. Since there are only 8 distinct combinations of 3 binaries each (000,001,010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111), you will need only 8 people and actions. Memorizing the binary numbers with the help of the Dominic system is done in groups of 6, of which 3 represent the person and the other 3 the action. 3. For numbers that remain outside and cannot be associated with a person and an action, different strategies are used, such as using only the associated person, without action, which is placed separately in the last location of the memory palace. I don't think it's a problem to memorize the final digit of the sequence, even if it remains unassociated

Thank you again, I appreciate it! Some confusion still remains regarding the binary numbers, since it feels very inefficient to only do 6 at a time when you could already do 12 with the person + action pairings you have available from your 00-99 decimal numbers (as you said, you need 8 for 3 digits, while you would need 64 for 6 digits). But maybe there is a practical reason for why this would not be efficient. That being said, I don't want to bother you with this any longer, you already put enough time into trying to clear it up for me - thank you :) @@ChrisMNemo

@@ChrisMNemo I don't think so. I think we have to create CODEs for every single numbers, i.e. 0~9, otherwise, we can't recall, for example, 626 and 6206 exactly

Dividing the list by colors has more to do with learning the list of characters (which itself is a rather difficult process) than with using the PAO method. One of the tricks of ancient orators, when they had long lists to memorize, was to divide their locations into chunks of 10 and to mark each 10th place with a cross, and every 5th place between them with a hand. In this way, they created some delimiters that helped them not to lose sight of certain items on their list. Our short-term memory usually retains no more than about five to seven pieces of information at once, so they found a very practical solution to keep the order of the memorized items.

The Dominic System is an encoding method, while the Peg system is a structural method. Here is what they are used for: The Peg System, like the Loci Method, are structural memory methods. Their main purpose is to create an orderly structure (such as body parts or the rooms of a house) to place there later, the mental images created with a method of transforming abstract notions (such as numbers, for example) into simple images. Dominic system is an encoding method, which transforms numbers into easy-to-memorize images (people and actions).

@@ChrisMNemo okay, but I still don't understand the difference With the Dominic System you use a person-action to remember a specific number, which is from a list With the PEG system you connect the memory of a number to that of something else, which is the opposite of the Dominic System (without considering the order of the numbers) That is the origin of my confusion

Dominic's list of people and actions associated with numbers is just a tool to turn numbers into images as quickly and efficiently as possible. In fact, their order in the list doesn't even matter. What is important is to instantly associate in your mind the number 3340, for example, with Charlie Chaplin - playing cards. Then, you take this image and put it in an orderly structure created with the Peg or Memory palace system. For example, at the entrance to your house you imagine Charlie Chaplin playing cards, then in the first room Albert Einstein-carrying oil can and in the next Clint Eastwood -performing magic. In this way, you have just memorized the number: 334015103543. This number, divided into groups of 4 digits and then into pairs (33-40, 15-10 ,35-43), was coded as follows according to the list of the Dominic system: 33-40=Charlie Chaplin playing cards (the action of Dominic O'Brien); 15-10=Albert Einstein-Carrying oil can (the Action of Aristotle Onassis); 35-43=Clint Eastwood -Performing magic (the action of David Copperfield);@@tuluppampam

@@ChrisMNemo that is a lot clearer. Thank you for the explanation

I believe that understanding a text is not enough, but must be combined with an appropriate learning strategy. During our studies, we all face the same problem: learning boring, abstract materials. Regardless of how well you understand a material, when it comes time to learn it for an exam, you need a systematic approach to learning, and for this I designed the SCALM method, which combines several memory techniques with the aim of transforming learning in a proactive process. The SCALM learning process involves a work of deconstructing, organizing and reconstructing (recoding) the material, all these stages being part of the natural process of efficient learning. In simple terms, it translates the abstract information into the alphabet of the brain, which is made up of concrete images, thus making it possible to memorize it in the long term.

Then makeup something that resonates with you. For me, I use Ozzy Osbourne bitting off a bats head for 00.

It was not my decision, the Skillshare team considered that my classes violated some of their rules and temporarily suspended them. I hope that the problem will be solved quickly and that the classes will return there. All the best,Chris

@@ChrisMNemo Yeah I think that's a mistake from their side. I hope they return asap.

Here are some ideas on how to remember the code: 0 - s, z, soft-c - remember as 'z is first letter of zero' 1 - d, t, th - remember as letters with 1 downstroke 2 - n - remember as having 2 downstrokes 3 - m - has three downstrokes 4 - r - imagine a 4 and an R glued together back-to-back 5 - L - L is the Roman Numeral for 50 6 - j, sh, soft-ch, dg, soft-g - g is 6 rotated 180 degrees. 7 - k, hard-ch, hard-c, hard-g, ng - imagine K as two 7s rotated and glued together 8 - f, v - script f resembles a figure-8. V sounds similar. 9 - p, b - b sounds similar and resembles a 9 rolled around, while p is a mirror-image of 9. Please note that it is not mandatory to learn and use all the consonants associated with a number, you can choose only one of them, the most common. All the best, Chris M Nemo

Memory experts have their own collection of memory palaces, which they use for different types of information, and after a period of time, when the images placed there fade, they reuse them. The optimal length of a memory palace is up to 50 locations, but I recommend you to work with memory palaces of 30 to 40 locations.
