Meh, kinda worked. Interesting only nothing amazing.

How to Call up Anything sticks to the objectives set up out by the writer; to provide a to-the-point and practical reference to common memory techniques. I am sure there are plenty of other books effectually that take the same or similar content - but How to Remember Anything nevertheless offers a squeamish and quick overview of some common techniques.

How to Remember Anything sticks to the objectives set out by the writer; to provide a to-the-point and applied reference to common memory techniques. I am sure there are plenty of other books around that take the same or like content - but How to Remember Annihilation still offers a squeamish and quick overview of some common techniques.

Here some notable ones:

- The

cube system involves assigning a number to each corner (odd) and walls (even) of a room one is familiar with, and then placing memory images into these locations. For case to remember a shopping list with wine and avocados, i may imagine in location 1 of the room (a corner since 1 is odd) a person-sized shimming wine bottle, while seeing on the wall side by side to it (location 2) a waterfall of avocados.
- Audionyms tin can exist used for abstruse concepts. To turn an abstruse concept into a retentivity image, try to discover a similar sounding word and and then employ that as a stand up-in of the concept. For instance, to remember liberty, imagine a library, etc.
- Clan relies on linking something which we already know with something we want to call back. For example, when seeing a person we would like to call up their proper name. Primal here is to create mental images for both what nosotros already know and what we want to remember. Once these images are created, nosotros tin link these images. Vaughn suggests that the images should exist linked in a way that is equally illogical and incommunicable. For instance, if my images are an plane and a rose, I could image an airport transporting roses (possible) or an airplane creating a contrail of roses (impossible).
- The Major System for remembering numbers (interestingly not referenced by Vaughn past that proper name just instead as the Number Code). In this mutual memory technique numbers are linked to consonants. Lists of numbers are converted into words by chaining multiple consonants together with vowels and half-vowels. These words should ideally be powerful memory images. For instance the number 1 is associated with the consonant 't' and the number 0 is associated with the consonant 's'. We could just create the discussion/prototype 'toes' to recall the number 10. It is really quite hard to come upwards with words using these rules, thus well-nigh practitioners of this memory technique volition memorise the words for at least the numbers between 00 and 99.

At that place are farther techniques described in the book but I think the to a higher place seemed the most useful to me in terms of being relatively straightforward. Note like techniques are described in many other books on retentiveness, such as The Art of Retentiveness by Frances Yates and Moonwalking with Einstein by Josh Foer.

This book was ok. Had some bang-up ideas, but was hard for me to read. I liked a few of the ideas as relating what you're remembering to unlike places in a room. Also, seemed like a lot more steps to remember then the actual thing y'all were needing to call up, but that may show why my memory is as information technology is! This book was ok. Had some great ideas, but was hard for me to read. I liked a few of the ideas as relating what you're remembering to different places in a room. Also, seemed like a lot more steps to call back and so the bodily matter you were needing to remember, but that may prove why my memory is every bit information technology is! ...more

This was the book that got me started on learning more virtually memory techniques dorsum in 2010. The skeptical me was subsequently converted by this newfound religion equally I strived to uncover the limits of our memory by experimenting with more ways of learning apart from the traditional rote memorisation.

Of the four memory technique books I've read, three are virtually the same (and all good). This is 1 of the three. If y'all're looking for something with more theory, explanation, and results of scientific studies, try Higbee'due south Your Memory.
