Memory Palace Example: 5 POWERFUL Paths To Remembering More

Looking for a Memory Palace example? How about five?

If you want better memory and the knowledge of how to remember anything fast, the method of loci (also known as the Memory Palace technique) is really your best bet.

The question is...

How should you use it?

Whether you're using it in a memory championship or as part of your education, these five navigational styles will help you explore this special mnemonic technique and get better results, faster.

If you want to improve memory, these are the ways to do it. And never forget: There are a lot of memorization techniques out there, but only this one allows you to use the rest of them inside. This is the king of them all.

You are absolutely right, memory capacity is what we must take care of and with your advice and options we can have a good memory, I love it because I forget everything and that is because of what you say, I recommend it.

Hi! I am a "mature" student and am so happy to have come across your course and videos! Even though I have limited time I am going to dedicate some of it every day to improve my memory. Thank you :-)

Thanks for sharing this, I'm learning how to memorize and solve multiple Rubik's cubes blindfolfed and this method is very useful!

[juanagutierrez]

Excellent video Anthony Metivier, I liked it, it is interesting to know this information

3rd one works for me. I remember memorizing an entire story for a public speaking platform through this. I actually find myself gesturing as if I'm opening doors, closing tap, etc. Fun!

Can't wait to see the ted talk by the way.

[davidwalkerblack]

thanks for guiding me in this journey! i’m enjoying each step.

I love it because I forget everything and that is because of what you say, I recommend it.

[nilusultana]

Yesterday I saw your video. And then try your technique of memory palace and I succeed.. thank you.

[MasonQQQ]

I have been doing this intuitively since middle school and only today I finally found out a name for it. It's usually video game maps that I visualize myself in

[bradleystoner]

such a great way to increase your memory and keep the high knowledge, I like this video, keep up the good content !

[Paristan]

I like the first technique best - birdseye view - combined with the Magnetic Memory technique from your course. It is amazing and has helped me recall vocab years later (foreign language learning). But it only works if I do the initial recall training you talk about. Otherwise it half works - half effort; less than half result!!

[jameswright]

I loved this Anthony, lots of great examples. I also am experimenting with paper. Turning a piece of paper on its side then fold it so you get four boxes. Each box represents a room in your home. ( this is if you want to do this on the fly). I'm planning to make a video showing what I'm talking about. I discovered this quite by accident one day.

[jimbobdowns]

Thank you very much, this helped me with my 1st person and 3rd person constantly switching issues

@7:10 Years ago I got hooked on Assassin's Creed and before you mentioned pretending you were a character in a video game I was imagining how handy it would be if you could use a video game like that with entire towns (and different historical times) that you run around so much you learn visually where everything is as a memory palace. That would be an amazing tool. And then you showed a snippet of Assassin's Creed!

[SpaceHunterLPSpaceHunterLP]

Yea this is pretty much what I’ve been looking for, thanks for the tip on the other video! You replied extremely fast, thank you 🙏

I’m trying this for math formulas and calculations for my exams as well as for my coming biology exam which is all about Latin names which I hate so much, I hope this works for an amateur with no mind training at all within a month to be able to store this data

[Kusumbu]

I really learned more knowledge about memory palace and 5 powerful paths thanq for sharing.

[nebd]

Bro i am 15 and heard about memory palaces from sherlock Holmes and fell down a rabbit hole. I AM GLAD I DID

[dr.kenmiller]

Memory palaces... Seems very exciting and creative and limitless!

[MichaelGarcia-hwyh]

Thanks. I'm glad to find someone. With great interest on this matter. You've got a subscriber here.

Every time you speak my respect for your skills, knowledge of teaching, and manifest intellectual honest increases. (Keep it up please!)

It would be easy to gush on, so instead just presume that while considering this pushback:

You are quite accurate that digital amnesia and digital incompetence is being trained into the vase majority of people.

Graphical Interfaces and the cult of the "mouse" are among the worst examples where users are literally trained to avoid understanding the app, their own data, and the power they have to create new understanding.

In these system you are 'allowed' to do little more than precisely what the developer and designers would be 'appropriate' or 'needed' by you.

However, at least a few of us have discovered methods to use technology even more effectively, accurately, & more powerfully while getting the software to help TEACH US how to increase these skills.

It's a skill set too. Knowing when to memorize and when to depend on search engines, plus the levels of additional skills for making searches more effective and efficient, and knowing when and what to memorize or what to simple understand or ignore are all key strategies.

Not to say these methods are always better; I envy your magnetic memory mind and I'm actively working to do the recommended and necessary work to raise my own skills to emulate much of yours and other experts.

It's amazing, and can be frustrating, how most people ignore us when we tell them how they can use their computers more effectively by doing a bit of learning first, which is directly analogous to what you surely experience when people don't understand the value of unlocking the memory capabilities of our own minds -- or understand but never take action to do the work.

Now I have about 5 more memory palaces to create today, plus rehabilitating my major method and further committing to automatic memory the new "chess peg method" I've designed.

(Just a chess position peg systems modeled after the Major System to represent files a-h and ranks 1-8 plus the pieces, the color of the squares, etc. Nothing difficult but I'm sure you know how tedious it can be to get a large peg system 'finished' and polished sufficiently to be as automatic and rapid as a good students multiplication tables.)

My goal began to improve at chess using mnemonic methods (among others) but it may now be the case that chess is just the training example for expanding the development of my mnemonics and my mind.

Thank you for being a big part of all that.
