Well Memory Month is officially over. I hope you enjoyed the articles, videos, links, and tips posted throughout the month of November. If you’re just joining, check out the table of contents. Or read over the key points below.
At the onset, we talked about the keys to creating successful memories. Keeping those keys in mind, we realized that your ability to remember something is largely dependent on how successful you were in creating a strong association in the first place. Then we looked at one of the most powerful concepts in memory training: linking. By visually associating one image to another we can remember the second image once we know the first. We can then form links of long lists of objects in that manner.
I taught you one of my favorite tools for creating images that are easily linked: the phonetic alphabet. This system enables you to convert numbers into words which are more easily visualized and associated. Using the phonetic alphabet code, we created pegs which can be used to associate anything you want to remember in order or by number.
And along the way I presented several applications of the techniques including learning languages, remembering names and faces, playing cards, and PI.
