Memory is certainly important. Actually looking back I discovered a kind of proto version of memory methods, when I was quite young. Which is to free associate on new thing, .. e.g. presented with a new word like "hermetic" ... what springs to mind ... hermit, Herman Munster, .. attic (for the tick sound) etc. That combined with organizing the information, using any patterns to reduce the memory load. Write out and condense the information as much as possible. This got me through a lot of exams, but I still look back and think it would have been nice if I knew about mnemonics and the method of loci, earlier. There is another need which I think is important but is not really mentioned and that is TIME. At the age of 11 I had one really formative year where I had very little actual free time. A school with 2 hours homework a night, combined with early bed times, and literally a full weekend (from wake to sleep) of church (or travel to church). After that I had a policy of not doing homework (except in class). Lucky for me maths didn't require that much formal memory ability (because the actual amount you need to learn for the standard education is relatively small, and there are many interconnections). So at uni doing a maths degree, I skipped many classes, played endless hours of pool, and did all nighters in the computer labs playing chess. Some how I still managed to do ok, and ended up getting a PhD. Also went through quite a long phase of being very anti religion.
Thanks for sharing these experiences. Yes, Bruno said that anyone who thinks long and hard enough about memory will come to the same conclusions, which isn't to rule out the value of having instruction. But it does point out that memory techniques were probably never invented: they were observed as something we naturally do. I also remember doing something like it as a kid, but had no clue how to make it strategic.
@@magneticmemorymethodpodcastthere being a 'correct' way which others would arrive at with developed thinking doesn't make it easy. Few if any of us really hit on the full recipe on our own. In that sense memory techniques are like a type of science. A kind of mental technology. It's early days i.m.o. What education could look like in 50 or a 100 years time, might be much more like the matrix... .pilot program...

Great use of the pyramid of needs.

Yes, there are many possibilities. It will be interesting to see what happens!
