I feel like I’ve had a lot of success with repetitive task based learning for physical tasks like breakdancing and guitar, but that’s because muscle memory isn’t thinking, making it thoughtless and reflexive is the whole point For any thoughtful tasks the ribosomal idea is so much more powerful and efficient
In my experience with music and Qigong, there's definitely a bit of thinking involved in how to usher in optimal placements and moves without thinking further down the road. Even when playing on stage, some thought was involved.
2:38 You are not failing at solving the problem of helping students ,perspective matters too . You are solving it at a rate that is slightly slower than expected or anticipated. That is why managing expectations helps with avoiding disappointments , leading towards small increments or improvements. Imagine this , if only 3 of those watching become memory athletes and each one writes a book or starts their own channel then each will teach these concepts to many others and at that rate it will grow exponentially. Slow and steady wins the race and you might be contributing greatly in the long run with out knowing it because results will show in a few months or years. The only reason im saying this is because your channel is emersive and stimulates the imagination
"Our society tends to regard as a 'sickness' any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system, and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a 'cure' for a 'sickness' and therefore good."
Anthony I wasn't going to comment on this video, but I did hit the thumbs up button. Then you use the word rhizomatic effect towards the end of the video. Wow you are really something. I've been researching that word for the past 3 minutes. And I think I have somewhat of an understanding what it means. ...... I can't wait to use that word on my boss tomorrow, when he asked me what I did last night. I'll respond, ohhhh I just learned about the rhizomatic effective learning. Lol
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM you never gotten any thumbs down form me that's for sure. In my previous message I wrote thumbs up. Unless I accidentally hit the thumbs down button underneath your video or something. I'll go check.
I think I misread your post, or it was edited. It seemed to have said "thumbs down" when I first looked at it. If ever that is the case, no worries at all. I know not all of my videos are good.
Hey, Anthony. When was rote learning method discovered? And I believe we can use rote learning with other learning methods to accelerate the learning process.
I’m not sure it was discovered, but perhaps identified at a certain point. If memory serves, it’s from the old French for “route.” Or perhaps Latin “rota” for wheel. Either way, it was connected to learning in the 1590s, shortly before one of the greatest memory masters was put to death. Perhaps we owe it to him to use it wisely, especially given the critical thinking issues discussed in this video. 🙏
Hello sir I want to ask a question. For example if you want to recall the meaning of tesham, do you Recall all those visuals and incidents in order to remember and recall the word everytime or you just recall it in a click, like after several repetitions of using the whole process???
When the mnemonics are strong enough, I can sometimes get it the first time - noting that I'm memorizing it so that I might repeat it. There's no clean answer to the question because everything is different. There's an "inequality" in information, so the real answer is to be an endurance memorizer who can paddle through the ocean of information and reach the goal no matter what waves are being served up on that day. Have good paddling skills and you'll always be fine. Does this way of looking at things help you out?
Oooh I was just getting around to kinda needing sandskrit I’m into this 19th century historian named LA Waddell and the dude could read and write every language ever spoken like just unbelievable
Genuine question. What's the difference between rote learning and spaced repetition. I know the latter is the best way to study while the former is inefficient. But looking at both of them, I can't seem to pinpoint the difference
Spaced repetition can also be rote learning. Any time you are merrily repeating exposure to information, it is rote. But when you use the memory techniques I teach, repetition may be involved, but it is creative repetition and is never rote. If you start doing something like the MMM seriously, you’ll soon experience the difference.
One of my traditional Chinese instructors, a very traditional Chinese sort of gentleman, suggested that rote learning is very important for certain kinds of ideas. For instance, memorizing and repeating hundreds of “statements of fact.“ By repeating these over and over again for several years, it begins to shape the way the students think. So, in a way, I think that it is useful when you don’t want the student to think critically or creatively about something; and prefer them to simply absorb and be impacted by the statement. Pretty interesting!
I was thinking to myself "rote learning has been doing very good for me" but then I saw a tesla driving over a ham, and that was more than enough to stop me from using rote learning.
Thank you for the useful information. I have a query, how is repetition different from rote? ( as by definition rote means memorizing through repetition) We almost require repetition in learning and mastering things.
Using mnemonics is creative and reduces the amount of repetition required. Repetition isn’t actually the interesting question here: we memorize precisely so we can repeat. It’s the style and volume of repetition relative to consistent outcomes that is in question.
Yes, this is always useful to do when creating your Memory Palaces. Whether or not you actually use the numbers is optional based on what exactly it is you're memorizing.
today I memorized the word "Try" at a coffee table, Tracer from my favorite video game wearing baby Yoda mask "there is no try, do or do not" routing back to Tracer is like chilling with a friend. is it harder to multi task with the first few times of Repetition for an activity more than repeating it for a good number of times? as example for the first few times of driving its harder to play the radio more than driving for a year and it would be much easier to listen while driving.
Interesting question. Since we're talking about different levels of memory, it will be something to think through and perhaps bring up when I get around to making a video on procedural memory.
Hello, I've been vaguely interested in memorisation techniques for a long time, and have even dabbled a little with some of the systems for memorising numbers, but I can't remember much about it - ironically enough, I suppose. The thing is, I've now got 2 months to study for four Microsoft Technology Associate exams (while working what to me is quite a tiring job), and I'd like to take the opportunity to apply these techniques as a kind of practical experiment in proving to myself that these methods work. To that end, I'm ready to start paying for one of your courses as long as I know that I'll be able to apply it pretty much straight away. Do you have any such tightly-focused courses you could recommend? I've got some knowledge of the subjects already having studied them for a level 2 course. However, the MTAs are level 3, and I've already prevaricated for almost a month, so I need to get my skates on. Thanks.
Thanks, Eman. There is zero doubt that these techniques work. However, there is a lot of doubt individuals have about their ability to complete courses and put in the small amount of practice needed to get running. If you're a serious student, it's very unlikely that you can fail. Most people who apply themselves can get the core training done in a weekend. If that's you, then you will succeed. If not, then study skills and personal discipline need to come first. My program does cover that, but it is not the core focus - the core focus is on becoming a master of your memory by knowing how to develop the best possible memory systems. Does this way of looking at things help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yes it does, thank you. That's very encouraging to hear that you can get the core training done in a weekend because it means I dive straight into it. I also take your point about the need to apply yourself- no-one can do the work for you. I am quite committed because I found out I'm interested in these subjects, and capable of gaining qualifications in them, and I think it's a promising way to improve my work situation. The trouble is, that I didn't know where to start. In fact I listened to one of your podcasts - How To Practice Memory Techniques For Studying Tough Subjects - last night, and you mentioned that was a common problem. You also said that it's better to dive right in rather than worrying about mastering all the method s out there first. Is your free course all that's needed? I know that work is what's required more than throwing money at it, but to be honest, I wondered, if the free course provided everything, what your business model was? Of course, everyone needs money, so I don't mean that in a disparaging way. I just a bit puzzled. I think I subscribed to your website months and months ago, but didn't do anything with it. I assume the free course will still be available to me - or should I start another account? I noticed that you have a lot of books on Amazon, and maybe that's how you make your money? I had a look, and while you had a few books dedicated to learning various subjects, I couldn't see any specifically for IT. But luckily, the subjects I'm studying - Security, Servers, and Networks have some fairly clear models that will align themselves to the memory palace method quite well.
Thanks for these questions, Eman. I'd be happy to set up a business consultation meeting if you really want to know all these details. That kind of meeting is very costly, however, and will be of limited use to you unless you're also a high-powered business person. The answer to "does the free course have everything you need" has a very simple and logical answer. Of course not. That would not be fair to the people who join the MMM Masterclass. Ultimately, you can go a long way with the free or my books. It's up to you. Most savvy people know that the true value comes from investing so they are propelled towards generating their own return on that investment. So free is clearly not free at all in many cases. You've done nothing with the free material, which has cost you precious time that will never be returned under any circumstances whatsoever. Please let me know if you have further questions and if you're an investment-oriented person, I'm confident you'll find the returns on having the MMM Masterclass far exceed your expectations. :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yes, well I was time-rich, but motivation-poor when I signed up. Now I have less time and energy available, but am able to visualise a tangible benefit (better job) of achieving the goal (passing the exams) much more clearly, so there's a key difference there. The company I did some IT training with before I got my current job are prepared to pay for the MTA exams so long as I can prove I can pass the mocks. It's taken me almost a month to get used to this job which is pretty hard physical work, but now I think I've got the energy reserves to study. Another thing that was holding me back was that it got harder and harder to get started as I became more aware of how time was slipping away. Luckily, the company has granted me another month's leeway, and I didn't have to make any excuses :D. I'm aware that I've been pretty slack, but there aren't that many opportunities in this part of England once you've got into a rut of unskilled work. I also get depressed about such things, which I find hard to tell apart from simple self-pity. I do think that has to be a strong element because I can see how I've messed up opportunities in the past, and I can, in theory, understand that a change in attitude and approach can change someone's prospects quite rapidly. On the other hand, it's much easier to conquer it when you can see a glimmer of hope, and I don't find calling myself names very helpful. I think it helped that the trainers I had on my last course were very encouraging, and I've since found a lot of videos online which are very encouraging in regards to the possibility of getting into IT via certifications (and I woudn't stop with the MTAs, of course). On the bright side, what I'm doing now is relatively well-paid for what it is, it's good, and much-needed exercise, and I get on with my co-workers. It also pays better than doing nothing, and the fact that I'm working has to give me a better chance when applying to IT jobs - and that, coupled with obtaining these MTAs, would give me a lot of confidence in interviews (I know just being employed is a pretty low-bar, but hey, it's a big advance on being unemployed). The training company seemed to think that the City and Guilds qualifications would be enough for an entry-level job in IT even if you're unemployed (which we all were), but I think that's more true of the others, who were all younger than me. Yes, I wish I was more American, but I do think that I'm in a position to muster some positive energy at the moment - In the past, when I was in dead-end jobs, it didn't really seem any better than being on the dole, but now, I think I can use it to segue into something else. So yes, I'll sign up for your MMM Masterclass because I absolutely agree that it's worth making an investment in things that will potentially improve your earning potential and overall quality of life. I suppose I was trying to balance that with the consideration that, as you say, just doing the free course would benefit me a lot more than not doing it, and that gave them feeling that maybe I should concentrate on doing the work rather than spending money - but it's a negligible amount in the scheme of things, and there's nothing stopping me from doing both.
Thanks for this, Eman. The link you shared is a scam. I will be in contact with them to have it removed to protect people from getting viruses on their computers. If you need help finding links, please email directly. It's anthony@ the name of my website followed by dot com. I look forward to helping you achieve your learning and memory goals! :-)
i have a learning disability and i learned English some how and i don't know how i did it and i want to learn other things!!! And i did it all by myself
I'm interested in why you think it's a mystery that you learned English. What specifically happened? Did you just wake up knowing it one day? Or did you spend time with books, courses, watching movies, listening to music, etc? As for learning memory, that's quite easy. I have books, courses and this channel to learn from. I suggest taking notes.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I was thinking along the line of more information on how the peg system and rote learning work together, if the information I was asking about was talked about I missed it. In any case, I'm sorry if I worded my initial comment wrong or gave you the wrong idea. I'll close my mouth now to keep out of trouble. Lol.
No trouble at all! I just don't know if you mean the Memory Palace or something else by it being so easy. I think the most direct answer given the context you've provided is this: If you're using creative repetition, then repetition is not rote. It's in the realm of active recall, like we discussed in a previous video. Does this way of looking at it make sense?
Namaste sir can you make video on memorising multiplication table because while calculating students get stuck like 51/119 if we memorised times table we can get answer quickly 3/7 is answer 17×3 and 17×7.... please make a video on memorising multiplication tables🙏
Thanks for asking about this. Basically, you just need to learn the major and then build a Memory Palace to accomodate the answers. Do you have any Memory Palaces at the moment?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thank you sir 🙏 i'm new to this major system it is taking time to recall number that goes in which table .. example 104/39 (answer 8/3) when looking at number 104 and converting into word and recalling the story taking some time..... but i will keep trying thanks🙏🙂 i can multiply any number faster 18x 8 = 10×8+8×8 answer 80+64 = 144 but when dividing recalling tables giving me trouble
You need to read it, memorize it and apply it through practice. There are some alternative approaches that virtually eliminate the memorization and vastly expand the possibilities beyond 3. These are taught in the MMM Masterclass.
I feel like trying to remember a word by remembering a scene or vision seems like more work. I understand it engages more senses, but it is just more to remember. So, when you are learning a language you have to memorise like 3 times as much. Care to explain how it is easier?
For many people, staring at the same card or screen is even more work and I'm aware of precisely zero polyglots who don't use some form of elaborative encoding to learn their languages. Those who "frown" upon mnemonics usually don't know enough about memory science to comment and are using the tools via similar means. To ask the "easier" question is somewhat missing the point. The real question to ask is what makes it more engaging, and is it engaging for me? There is no end to the science and examples that demonstrates just how fun and easy using memory techniques makes things for some learners. But if it isn't the case for some people, little wonder and no problem. Neither is chess, debate club, or martial arts. Does this way of looking at things help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I have been following you for a while and looking at your memory techniques, but never really grew attached to them. Using a common place such as my house and each room as a different thing to remember never worked for me. Guess it isn't for everyone :)
I'm not particularly attached to the techniques either, and that has never struck me as a requirement. I'm not attached to the keyboard I'm typing on either. Really, it comes down to the most effective and efficient way to establish long term memorization with minimal hassle and time invested. These techniques do require time to learn thoroughly and practice well. Likewise martial arts, chess, flying places, touch-typing etc. Not everyone is going to invest the time into them, and that's fine. But skepticism of the techniques involved in all of these skills is unwarranted. And just because you don't like using them now, doesn't mean you won't in the future. Life is a big place, and you never know when it might all snap together and you become the next memory mastery.
I can try to memorize a short word hundreds of times, and still fail to produce it, or mix it with a similar one. It happened all my life. I tried japanese years ago, and I couldn't learn anything after the first few days. Once i had 50-100 words, they would start mixing in my head. example in spanish (my mother tongue): cava nave saco rata lata rota nata nasa If I try to learn something similar in korean, japanese or chinese, I simply can't do it. Using memory techniques, I am able get a word after a few repetitions, and I'm learning a few languages at the same time. I find this way faster because I make less mistakes.
Would you recommend to first rote learn things and then understand or vice versa? I personally love rote learning first because it helps me to get started and then I try to understand as best as possible. Do you think, rote learning is bad and doesn't serves any purpose as so many educator's are against it? Can we incorporate this technique in a more efficient way?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Memory palaces work as magic, i can quickly memorize important fact for exams. i have tried memory palaces with quran, but it too difficult because arabic is not my first language.
I would expect that using Memory Palaces would beat rote learning precisely in any case where one's mother tongue is different than the text to be memorized. And all the more so when a person knows how to use them to the point of them working like "magic." If you still find rote easier for this goal, I would humbly suggest revisiting Memory Palaces for this kind of learning project. We can reserve a podcast for then.
I wonder why rote memory is getting such a bad rep when it is responsible for brithin gnome some of the greatest thinkers in history. Plato, Aristotle, Nieztche, he's thinkers used that same old raggedy rote memorization to learn and they were okay.
Aristotle, who wrote a book about mnemonics? Nietzsche, who cites Bruno, so we know for a fact he at least knew the great memory master? Plato, who wrote one of the greatest pieces about memory in history? Please do share the exact evidence that each of these people used rote. I’ve seen no such thing, only the opposite.

I'm aware that I've been pretty slack, but there aren't that many opportunities in this part of England once you've got into a rut of unskilled work. I also get depressed about such things, which I find hard to tell apart from simple self-pity. I do think that has to be a strong element because I can see how I've messed up opportunities in the past, and I can, in theory, understand that a change in attitude and approach can change someone's prospects quite rapidly.
On the other hand, it's much easier to conquer it when you can see a glimmer of hope, and I don't find calling myself names very helpful. I think it helped that the trainers I had on my last course were very encouraging, and I've since found a lot of videos online which are very encouraging in regards to the possibility of getting into IT via certifications (and I woudn't stop with the MTAs, of course).
On the bright side, what I'm doing now is relatively well-paid for what it is, it's good, and much-needed exercise, and I get on with my co-workers. It also pays better than doing nothing, and the fact that I'm working has to give me a better chance when applying to IT jobs - and that, coupled with obtaining these MTAs, would give me a lot of confidence in interviews (I know just being employed is a pretty low-bar, but hey, it's a big advance on being unemployed).
The training company seemed to think that the City and Guilds qualifications would be enough for an entry-level job in IT even if you're unemployed (which we all were), but I think that's more true of the others, who were all younger than me.
Yes, I wish I was more American, but I do think that I'm in a position to muster some positive energy at the moment - In the past, when I was in dead-end jobs, it didn't really seem any better than being on the dole, but now, I think I can use it to segue into something else.
So yes, I'll sign up for your MMM Masterclass because I absolutely agree that it's worth making an investment in things that will potentially improve your earning potential and overall quality of life. I suppose I was trying to balance that with the consideration that, as you say, just doing the free course would benefit me a lot more than not doing it, and that gave them feeling that maybe I should concentrate on doing the work rather than spending money - but it's a negligible amount in the scheme of things, and there's nothing stopping me from doing both.
Thanks for this, Eman.

Should I use the same memory Palace for other different Essays??
Great question.

Does it help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yes sir! Thank you
Great!
Anything else I can do to help you out?
Such piece of advice 👏🏼
:-)
i have a learning disability and i learned English some how and i don't know how i did it and i want to learn other things!!! And i did it all by myself
💪
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM can you tell me what i can improve ?
What specifically would you like to improve?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM memory kinda stuff its a mystery how i learned English and i wish i could find that technique again with your help maybe
I'm interested in why you think it's a mystery that you learned English. What specifically happened? Did you just wake up knowing it one day? Or did you spend time with books, courses, watching movies, listening to music, etc?
As for learning memory, that's quite easy. I have books, courses and this channel to learn from. I suggest taking notes.
Not to be too skeptical Anthony but, is it really that easy or is there something more to it? Either way, I love this.
Thanks, James.
I guess it depends on what “it” means in your sentence.
Please say more. 🙏
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I was thinking along the line of more information on how the peg system and rote learning work together, if the information I was asking about was talked about I missed it. In any case, I'm sorry if I worded my initial comment wrong or gave you the wrong idea. I'll close my mouth now to keep out of trouble. Lol.
No trouble at all!
I just don't know if you mean the Memory Palace or something else by it being so easy.
I think the most direct answer given the context you've provided is this:
If you're using creative repetition, then repetition is not rote. It's in the realm of active recall, like we discussed in a previous video.
Does this way of looking at it make sense?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Thanks Anthony. I've been suffering with brain fog today as the heat in Atlantic Canada has been insane.
Keep safe!
Namaste sir can you make video on memorising multiplication table because while calculating students get stuck like 51/119 if we memorised times table we can get answer quickly 3/7 is answer 17×3 and 17×7.... please make a video on memorising multiplication tables🙏
Thanks for asking about this.
Basically, you just need to learn the major and then build a Memory Palace to accomodate the answers.
Do you have any Memory Palaces at the moment?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thank you sir 🙏 i'm new to this major system it is taking time to recall number that goes in which table .. example 104/39 (answer 8/3) when looking at number 104 and converting into word and recalling the story taking some time..... but i will keep trying thanks🙏🙂 i can multiply any number faster 18x 8 = 10×8+8×8 answer 80+64 = 144 but when dividing recalling tables giving me trouble
You'll get there. It's just learning and practicing these techniques that's required for progress.
Please could you tell me How to use sem³ system of Tony Buzan
You need to read it, memorize it and apply it through practice.
There are some alternative approaches that virtually eliminate the memorization and vastly expand the possibilities beyond 3. These are taught in the MMM Masterclass.
I feel like trying to remember a word by remembering a scene or vision seems like more work. I understand it engages more senses, but it is just more to remember. So, when you are learning a language you have to memorise like 3 times as much. Care to explain how it is easier?
For many people, staring at the same card or screen is even more work and I'm aware of precisely zero polyglots who don't use some form of elaborative encoding to learn their languages. Those who "frown" upon mnemonics usually don't know enough about memory science to comment and are using the tools via similar means.
To ask the "easier" question is somewhat missing the point. The real question to ask is what makes it more engaging, and is it engaging for me?
There is no end to the science and examples that demonstrates just how fun and easy using memory techniques makes things for some learners. But if it isn't the case for some people, little wonder and no problem. Neither is chess, debate club, or martial arts.
Does this way of looking at things help you out?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I have been following you for a while and looking at your memory techniques, but never really grew attached to them. Using a common place such as my house and each room as a different thing to remember never worked for me. Guess it isn't for everyone :)
I'm not particularly attached to the techniques either, and that has never struck me as a requirement. I'm not attached to the keyboard I'm typing on either.
Really, it comes down to the most effective and efficient way to establish long term memorization with minimal hassle and time invested.
These techniques do require time to learn thoroughly and practice well. Likewise martial arts, chess, flying places, touch-typing etc. Not everyone is going to invest the time into them, and that's fine. But skepticism of the techniques involved in all of these skills is unwarranted.
And just because you don't like using them now, doesn't mean you won't in the future. Life is a big place, and you never know when it might all snap together and you become the next memory mastery.
I can try to memorize a short word hundreds of times, and still fail to produce it, or mix it with a similar one. It happened all my life.
I tried japanese years ago, and I couldn't learn anything after the first few days. Once i had 50-100 words, they would start mixing in my head.
example in spanish (my mother tongue):
cava
nave
saco
rata
lata
rota
nata
nasa
If I try to learn something similar in korean, japanese or chinese, I simply can't do it.
Using memory techniques, I am able get a word after a few repetitions, and I'm learning a few languages at the same time.
I find this way faster because I make less mistakes.
Were you also speaking, reading and writing in Japanese?
Would you recommend to first rote learn things and then understand or vice versa?
I personally love rote learning first because it helps me to get started and then I try to understand as best as possible.
Do you think, rote learning is bad and doesn't serves any purpose as so many educator's are against it?
Can we incorporate this technique in a more efficient way?
I feel that this video covers my position on rote learning sufficiently. If you truly love rote learning, you’re more than welcome to watch it again.
i use rote for quran memorization, mind palaces for names and exams
Success rate? And are you willing to demonstrate it on my podcast under test conditions?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Memory palaces work as magic, i can quickly memorize important fact for exams.
i have tried memory palaces with quran, but it too difficult because arabic is not my first language.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM i would love to demonstrate
I would expect that using Memory Palaces would beat rote learning precisely in any case where one's mother tongue is different than the text to be memorized. And all the more so when a person knows how to use them to the point of them working like "magic."
If you still find rote easier for this goal, I would humbly suggest revisiting Memory Palaces for this kind of learning project. We can reserve a podcast for then.
I wonder why rote memory is getting such a bad rep when it is responsible for brithin gnome some of the greatest thinkers in history. Plato, Aristotle, Nieztche, he's thinkers used that same old raggedy rote memorization to learn and they were okay.
Aristotle, who wrote a book about mnemonics? Nietzsche, who cites Bruno, so we know for a fact he at least knew the great memory master? Plato, who wrote one of the greatest pieces about memory in history?
Please do share the exact evidence that each of these people used rote. I’ve seen no such thing, only the opposite.
