  • Joshua Foer can remember anything, including the first 100 digits of Pi. The former U.S.A. Memory Champion explains how he-and you-can memorize anything using the major system technique, which converts numbers into words and images.

      exactly. this doesnt make any sense. you would need a way to remember all of that scenery you made up too. the only way i could see this working is if you made up a "short story" that you could easily memorize to be able to think of the scenery and then remember all the rest of it.

    This method works well when you are trying to memorize something you have completely zero interest in. In high school, I absolutely hated English and was close to failing before my final exam. I tried this technique for memorizing essays and it worked like a charm. The only downside is walking around your house can be a bit annoying since it makes you remember what you memorized, which can be stressful when you just want some peace. On a side note which is not mentioned in this video, i found it better to make a story about the objects in your house.

      that is true. it seems like learning the systeem is more difficult than learning the accual number. (it is I tried). but once you got the system down you can master all shorts of digets.
      It kinda reminds my of music. for instance playing the piano. if you want to learn a song. just look for an turtorial. why would you wast time on learning to read the key? then you will learn the song, but you won't be learning how to play piano.

      Do some more reading on the subject and you'll understand (see my other comment bellow). Only the consonants shown at the beginning correspond to numbers. Don't use his house and his images, use some other place you know well and make up your own images with the letters. If you're the one who decided that (for example) FS (80) stands for FrankenStein, then you'll remember it. It's also much better if you make up in advance a list of 100 images, 00 to 99, that you reuse over and over everytime you want to remember some number.

This video was so nostalgic coz I was in 8th grade when I last watched this and I'm a college freshman now. Thank you guys so much for introducing me to the mind palace technique, and, indeed, the way of the mnemonist. I've no words to express my gratitude.🙂

    So in order to memorize numbers, I have to first translate each number into its own letter, then from there create sections of said numbers and turn the letters they represent into their own separate words, then I have to create a fictional world where I "see" all these things in the order the numbers are in and with that create a story I can use to memorize it... And then if I ever want to recite those numbers, I have to recall the story and recite each and every word of the story in their number forms. This all seems a little too complicated for the average person

      if you think so, try to memorize, lest say, 10 completely random words just by looking at them for a few seconds. You'll probably remember 5-7 words and forget after a few minutes/hours. Now remember the same sett of words,but make a story in which they are used and create it in your imagination. This way, toy can memroxie even 50 words at the same time and remember them for long, so why won't you just try it before making dumb comments?

    Recently I found out a way to memorise:
    Scan through the page through eyes (deep focus), close the eyes for 2 sec and then open
    Within that 2 sec, you need to illustrate the page in your brain
    Then you will be able to recall that page after that, well within a short time period at least.
    I'm not sure how it works, but it works well with me, and I call it "camera" method :D
    Of course, not working for complicated stuff, but fine for things that need to be emphasized

    • @joxheunfff100
      @joxheunfff100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yesss I do that, too! It also works for complicated stuff, you just need to break it down. Usually to help with illustrating big chunks of text in my mind, I highlight specific words and I try to visualize those words first. After that I try to fill in the words that are in between the highlighted words.
      Also another way that helps a lot, especially with vocabs or definitions etc., is to find out a number of repetitions after which you can remember something for a very long time. For me it's 20 repititions if I want information to stay long term, otherwise less is also fine. Then I visualize the word and its definition in my mind and repeat the process 20 times. If it's an especially tricky concept speaking it out loud also helps. After that I can remember the information for a really long time.

    The material doesn’t doesn’t feel as heavy as it is to be cuz I think of everything as a big story ‘Story of Man’ and every aspect of the learned body is just a different chapter, where the body parts are characters and you just help but follow the lives of characters and watch them grow.

    Happy with the memory palace side of things. However, you could remember 120 digits of PI (meaning the numbers after the 3 POINT....) by using far fewer Loci in your memory palace, namely 20 by using a PAO system that puts 6 digits in per Loci. A Dominic system of 100 characters 00-99 is a better tool to use than the major system in my opinion but if the Major System is preferred then a cast again of 100 characters using the Major Code can also be transcribed into a Person-Action-Object system too!

    • @MissLilyputt
      @MissLilyputt 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TH-cam's Conscience If you use puns you still have to find a way to relate it back to numbers. That’s still more difficult to learn than simply memorizing segments of the number by repetition and eventually you put the shorter sequences together to learn longer ones. You don’t have to remember the exact word you used or how it relates to a number or sequence of numbers. It adds more steps to memorize something. Also, if you use a real world space as a way to help you memorize then if something is moved or added it can change your memory of it.

    • @diegonicolaschaconwilches7554

      So you get into a wrong conclusion !!!, These 100 digits can be memorize in only just 3 or 4 minutes , but no just pi, every single number in the world, but you have to know the proper technique to memorize, because it a shame the mind does not come with instructions and we do not know how to use the memory effectively, for that reason I want to encourage you to continue searching , maybe on TH-cam the method would be not put because normaly for those techniques you have to Pay, but I can recommend you those Courses because you Will be able to remember numbers like this in less than a half of the time than the tradicional method

      So these guys typically have pre-assigned images for each sequence of numbers. So for him, 141 is always a druid and 592 is always a Libyian. From what I remember from his book, most memory champions create specific images for every two digit number (00 to 99). Very few have created a unique image for every three digit number (000 to 999). You need 10 times as many images using this second method, but you end up requiring few images for a sequence of numbers.
