Probably the best video I've ever seen on the PAO system. Very concise, extremely clear, with many examples, advice and suggestions for application.
Wow, what a wonderful explanation!!!
Well done !!!
Here is another short video about the PAO technique: www.tiktok.com/@chrismnemo/video/7099418553866063109?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=6928478517600945670
Wonderfully expressed!! Keep on z good work!!!
Also, nice work on clearly explaining the process!
Thank you Chris!
I am currently using the regular master system, but I've been looking into making a PAO system as well. But when I watch videos and they give examples it just doesn't seem to me like it would be as easy for me to remember things well with the PAO system. It's easy to remember Harry Potter flying on a broom for example because that is what he does. But when you combine one of those with something else, it becomes less memorable because it more difficult to imagine them doing it. It could turn into something weird like Tiger Woods flying with spaghetti. That's a lot harder to remember. Later when you're trying to remember the number again, you might remember someone was flying (on a plane perhaps) and eating spaghetti but you might not remember who it was because there is so many people it could have been. So then I wonder, should you add something else to the scene to help you remember that it was tiger woods. Like maybe because it was Tiger Woods they put the spaghetti on his plate in the shape of a golf club. But it does take more time trying to come up with things like that to help you remember if you have to do that with each one.
And maybe you can't even do that because what if one of your other ones has a plane as the object or action (flying in a plane). So that might not even be a good idea to add stuff to help you remember unless that stuff is not elsewhere in your PAO system. So now we just have Tiger Woods flying with spaghetti. I suppose you can imagine him flying over a golf course eating spaghetti up in the air as he gets a better look from above. That way the actions and objects are now tied to the person.
So lets say in my POA system I have Michael Jordan slam dunking a basket ball. Maybe I have Chuck Norris's kicking someone in the head with his foot. And Penny Wise the clown trying to give someone balloons (want a balloon, they float, they all float down here). So maybe that turns into Michael Jordan kicking a balloon. It's harder to imagine Michael Jordan kicking a balloon. Easier to imagine Chuck Norris throwing a kick than Michael Jordan. Again though, if you spend more time thinking about it, you might start to think that perhaps the balloon was made to look like a basket ball and when someone threw it to him he and he was anticipating it to flow through the air like a basket ball. But since it was a balloon it just floated in the air. So realizing it was a joke, he smiles and kicks the balloon. But then again, we've added something - a basketball. Which could be a problem since there is already another object in this imagery - balloons. So maybe it would be better to imagine this scene taking place on a basket ball court, thereby linking it to Michael Jordan so you don't forget the person. But why would Michael Jordan be kicking a balloon on the court? I have no idea, and it would take time to come up with a reason why that might happen.
Seems like it would really slow you down and take more time trying come up with things like that to help you recall them better. And in some cases you might not even be able to think of anything. I guess I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this system to see if there is some way I could make it work for me.
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.
Its interesting that you have colors associated with groups of 10. When retrieving the PAO, does color factor into it for you?
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.
Is it too difficult?
What about combining pao with the major system?
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.
how would you deal with remembering 4 of 5 digit numbers?
How do you solve the problem of having for example a number like from a bank account that you want to memorize that concists if 7 numbers? Do you then just remember the last digit by itself? How? Because we then only have images for for example a 08 instead of just an 8 which falsifies a bank account number?
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.
