#artofmemory — Public Fediverse posts

Recently I'm exploring #memory techniques. Reading some books like Boris N. Konrad's "Mehr Platz im Gehirn and "The Memory Book" by H. Lorayne and trying techniques like the #memorypalace, linking
and mnemonic images.

I thought that pure spaced repetition with #Anki is all I need. But a better understanding how the memory works can help. E.g. I realized how important it is to associate new information with what's already in long-term memory (ideally in a vivid way).

This explains why initially #Korean vocabulary is so much more difficult to remember than e.g. a French word (as a German): There are just much fewer similarities between the languages and thus fewer hooks onto which to hang the new words.

I'm now more confident utilizing absurd mnemonic images (e.g. similar sounding words in my L1) for the initial learning of the more difficult words in Anki. But also I'm emphasizing input more and more, as it helps building associations through stories and context.

I have created an #ArtOfMemory content hub on my website to organize a bunch of the related content and make it easier to find. Enjoy! https://arnemancy.com/resources/the-art-of-memory/

I was looking for a way to remember grocery prices for archival purposes. This book was helpful:

https://search.worldcat.org/title/868923596

I learned that the act of imagining visuals can commit short-term memory to working memory. That memory persists longer -- long enough to archive observed prices after shopping.

I played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild years ago. What struck me about it was when I realized that I had learned the names of weapon and shield types without trying to learn them. Without any interest or study, I had just absorbed knowledge by diffusion.

Have you ever learned something without trying to learn it?

I'm giving a lecture at Dark Star Magick in #PDX tonight about #magic and the #ArtOfMemory. I've been lecturing on this topic for almost 20 years now!!! Jeeze. Anyhow, in looking for images for my slides, I came across this excellent article. https://blogs.loc.gov/bibliomania/2023/09/20/in-your-minds-eye-strange-mental-architecture-to-help-you-remember/
