      Because the education system doesnt actually care about the children. This is shown in the quality of the material, food, teachers, resources etc. There have been many better systems created and they have all the best research they could easily implement but they do the bare minimum.

    to improve memory live your life obeserving every things that you experience from morning to night then 30min before you sleep at every night try to recall each and every little incident, conversation topic, products that you buy its price, people you meet recall there face, clothes, every little details that you can. by doing this reapeatedly you will find yourself you are remembering more with less effort,
    morning brisk walk helps a lot.

    Harry Lorayne was the Memory man years ago,publishing a book"How to develop a Super Power Memory". And also he published a book,"Miracle Math",which I found very useful. The key to memorising is Interest. One must be actively interested in any subject or discipline to remember much about it. There is no such thing as a "bad memory" but really an "untrained one".

    Dominic always stresses that he didn't do well at school, & the diagnoses he got.
    It's kind of nice of him, but it's clear that not doing well at school isn't an indicator of bad memory, or indeed a very certain predictor of how well you do in later life.
    Now one could argue the opposite and say "statistically, doing well at school is massively correlated with success in later life" and it's a very strong argument.
    But the outliers, those bucking the trend, are so numerous and so striking that you have to pause for thought. I mean a teacher telling Einstein "you will never amount to much", and this 8-time memory champion.
    I also remember my primary school teacher saying "WRONG WRONG WRONG" out loud in the class when I fluffed some sums. She kept on like that, knocking my confidence. Eventually I got maths & computing degrees and worked for a decade in one of the more famous universities in the world.

      In his day grades were (and still are, really) about rote memorization.
      I.e. your grades are a way of measuring your memorization capacity.
      So, it really is a good metric.
      At least in the American education system, as opposed to another where they may focus on learning concepts at their core instead of learning facts in a rote manner

    Hi Dominique, do you remember the Good Night Club and the night we all played a memory game, I bet you can't remember all the items on that plate... I can't. We all played along with Jeff and Henry. Dose one remember the book I recommended to you? It's my claim to fame, Lol. I fondly remember that evening as being great fun. (Children should be tough how to learn) I could not agree any more if I were tortured and school was torture. I also had problems learning at school, I had a great lack of attention and being tough how to learn visually would have opened up my mind. Thank God I got there in the end. Another thing I've learned is: Life is what you think it is, you are what you think and what you think, maps the story of your life. Keep up the good work Dominique, you're still the lovely guy I met all those years ago. GB

    It bugs me when people keep calling this a trick or cheating. Even Dominic was like, "cheating!", when she talked about cheating exams. You can either remember something or you can't, there's no trick or cheating about it. If someone asks a mathematician what is Pi to 10 places and he tells you, then they ask you and you use this method to recall it. What's the difference, you both remember it, it's not cheating. Now if you don't know the answer in your head and have an external source like a calculator or smartphone to get you the answer, now that would be cheating.

      i think it kinda... we consume a lot more info but we depend too much on our devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops etc) for all these info instead of using our memory. for example, i've noticed I rarely memorize a particular route to a particular place because I already have gps for that. Therefore, I conclude that I don't need to memorize the routes. Obviously, there are severe drawbacks to this kind of mindset.

    The tricks that memory champions rely upon are a bit disappointing. They "have an amazing memory" in the same way that crossfitters "can do 30 pullups." I think a true memory champion would be able to recall things effortlessly, without having to rely on bizarre strategies of constructing elaborate mind palaces every time they want to remember a phone number.

      There have been a few people with great memories who did without memory devices, such as Alexander Aitken for example. But that's a very rare ability and beyond most people.

      @@jeffw1267 Yeah to me that's *actual* memory. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive what so called "memory champions" do, but what they're doing is less like organic memory, and more like playing a mental video game. It's a game they've gotten very good at, but without that game, they probably don't have much better memories than anybody else.
      For instance, I'll bet if you ask a "memory champion" what the name of their waitress was at lunch yesterday, or the color of the trim on their neighbor's house when they were a kid, or the score of the Football game the other day, they wouldn't be any better at remembering it than the average Joe.

      @@scottk1525 Fair point, however, in this very video he actually gave good advice on how to retain information longer; even using such techniques, you must still be efficient and practical - for example, of what use is remembering the color of the trim of your neighbour's house from when you were a kid? None, so not worth any effort. But you might want to remember your waiter's name for the next time you patronize that restaurant, so then you would use a memorization technique

      @@scottk1525 You can use these techniques for academics, work, etc. Imagine how useful these techniques could be for memorizing history dates and facts in Biology.
      I myself have been using the techniques from his book for a few years now. I am a student and using several techniques like the Journey Method and his Dominic system I am able to assimilate huge chunks of information easily.
      Our brain discards the useless information for a reason. In a way, you are transforming the information you want to learn into forms which are easier for the brain to memorize.

      @@katherinepablo1228 Sure. I'm not saying these techniques aren't useful. I'm saying these memory champs aren't good at genuine *memory* itself, so much as they're good at playing very particular mental games.
      In other words, it'd be interesting to see how their memories stack up when not reliant on their mind palace strategies.
      For instance, I wonder how these memory athletes would do if, instead of being handed a deck of cards and judged on their ability to arrange them in a mental memory palaces, they were instead asked to recall things they had experienced and weren't aware they'd have to memorize, like "what was the name of the concierge that checked you into your hotel yesterday afternoon?" Or "what were the main three courses on the menu at the restaurant last night?" Or "Precisely what time was your flight scheduled to land?" I wonder how well they'd do.
      Or maybe even if they were shown a long number, immediately followed by a taxing 1-2 minute mental task, which would presumably prevent them from employing chunking or mind palace strategies to remember the number. Immediately following the mental task, they'd they'd then be asked to recall the number.
      Not saying this is viable method for competition. Just saying that, to me, true memory is the ability to recall things that you didn't burn gallons of mental fuel trying to sear into your brain.
