*Memory Palace*
*Memory Palace*
A Memory Palace is an imaginary location in your mind where you can store mnemonic images. The most common type of memory palace involves making a journey through a place you know well, like a building or town. Along that journey there are specific locations that you always visit in the same order.
1) Decide on the map's location
The layout of your mind palace is crucial for it to function appropriately.
While it is possible to completely construct your own layout from your imagination, this will take extra energy that you don’t need to expend. The goal is to be so familiar with your palace’s layout that you can run through it in your mind without having to think about it.
With this in mind, some of the best locations to use would be:
- Your house
- Your workplace
- Your school
- A childhood park
2) Establish the main items
Now, assuming that you are able to walk through the palace in your mind without struggling to recall details, you are ready to start assigning permanent items.
You should select 4-5 items in each room. Optimal items to select are:
- Furniture
- Artwork
- Windows
- Decorations
- Other prominent features.
3) Determine your route
This is the step that catches most people off guard. In short, you must order each item in your room, and follow that order EVERY time you use your mind palace.
A mind palace’s functionality lies largely in repetition and visual cues. So now that you have your mind palace memorized, and the items within it selected, you have to establish a route that you will always walk when recalling things. In other words, you must order your items. Some people find it easier to give a number to each item in their memory palace.
4) Adding information to permanent items
Next you will convert the information to a visual form.This means even if it's numbers, cards, test information, or a speech; you must turn it into visual information.
The best way to convert the information is to make absurd visually/sensory stimulating image that reminds you of the information. Bright colors, crazy textures, sounds, feelings, and movement helps with this.
5) Create more than one
Yes, the answer is that simple. You are no doubt familiar with more than one location in the world, so you can create more palaces. Many memory champions will create multiple palaces for various commonly memorized topics.
*The forgetting curve*
*The forgetting curve*
1) What is it
This graph illustrates that when you first learn something, the information disappears at an exponential rate, i.e. you lose most of it in the first couple of days, after which the rate of loss tapers off.
Every time you reinforce the information, the rate of decline reduces
2) Spaced repetition
Spaced repetition is a method where you remember a certain fact within specific time intervals which increase each time the fact is presented or said.
3) Anki
You can build a Memory Palace with nothing more than your mind and list of things you wish to store in there. But every Memory Palace needs maintenance, you have to revisit it often enough to maintain the memory. Its recommenced to make one flashcard using anki for every stop in the memory palace and at precise intervals anki will remind you to recall that information to ensure you don't forget it.
I haven't used anki (I really should though) but there is an entire Discord and Reddit dedicated to it
