Wow. These videos have taught me more than any lecture I've ever had on cognitive psychology. AND its free? Damn. Thank you so much for the work! It´s very appreciated.
Excellent. I was able to remember the 7932 because I used it as a connection to the date of my birth: 7 and 3 (50% accomplished) and then the difference between 9 and 2 = 7 related to my birthday again, so associated with my old long time memory. Interesting to say, I watched 20 minutes of the video, stopped it and played the rest of it the next day. Therefore I was able to remember my strategy 24 hours later. I just had to think of my birthday. Cheers
I feel like transporting new information to long term memory is not necessarily about consciously connecting it to already stored info. It’s rather about working with it in any way - e.g. rephrasing sentences, visualising, summarising, translating. For example I tried to imagine 7932 as bars in a bar chart with heights according to the numbers and additionally tried to translate the numbers into a melody. (And it worked really well) I generally find success visualising concepts I read or hear about. This mental translation makes my brain work with the information really intensively and I constantly have to integrate the fresh info into the (literal) mind map.
This is a really great way to consolidate information to LTM! Give yourself as many routes to the memory as you can to increase the odds you will be able to retrieve it!
7 and 2 are primes, 9 is a multiple of 3. I gave them more meaning (or they had more meaning for me) than them just being digits and hence I could remember. I love those shirts you're wearing. Where do you get those^^

well explained.. Thank you so much Ryan :)
Very informative... Thanks for this video , this really helps to understand the concepts well
I just repeated the number 3-4 times and I could remember it. So, for me maintenance rehearsal worked for me :)
It's been 4 weeks - do you still remember the number??
