What’s the most common way to remember something? Repeat it over and over. Repetition’s slightly more sophisticated cousin is called ‘spaced repetition’. This basically means reviewing things less often once you can confidently remember them. You could also call repetition ‘practice’, and practice is obviously valuable… …except when you don’t do it...
Things that make sense are easier to remember than those that don’t. For example, ‘bubbles’ is easier to remember than ‘sbeblbu’. If new information is meaningless or confusing, a good memory technique will start by adding meaning. Rearranging the letters ‘sbeblbu’ to ‘bubbles’ would certainly do that.
Information needs to be well organizedin your mind to be easily accessible. Think about finding a book in a library or a word in a dictionary. You can easily navigate around and find what you need because there’s an organized system.
Associationis all about connecting or linking new information to knowledge or facts you already have stored in your head. A simple example is how I remember the difference between ‘stationary’ and ‘stationery’. I think of a stationary car, because ‘car’ has an ‘a’ in it, and for stationery with an ‘e’ I think of ‘letters’ which is also spelled with...
Human memory is predominantly visual. Images are fundamentally more memorable than words. If you close your eyes and remember some childhood memories – best vacations, your favorite school teacher or anything at all – you’ll notice you use visual images to recall each of those details in your memory. Like you discovered in the video above, visual m...
The final basic principle of learning and memorization is Attention. Clearly, you can’t remember something if you don’t learn it in the first place. This is where lack of attention comes in. The biggest reason people ‘forget’ someone’s name is they weren’t paying attention when they were introduced. Not paying attention is a rookie mistake! The 5 P...
When I was a student (before I knew about best-practice memorization techniques) my go-to memory tool for exams was acronyms. I’d put a group of words into a list, and use the first letter from each word to create a new (usually senseless) word. As soon as the exam started I’d write out all those silly words on the exam question paper and hope I co...
This is a super simple technique. You visualize an object and then create a story that connects it to the next object. This is what I used in the video above, so you already know it’s amazingly effective. When you make the story crazy and exaggerated it becomes even ‘stickier’ in your memory.
Greek politicians used this technique thousands of years ago to recall the important points in their speeches. You imagine a journey, room or building you know like the back of your hand. Choose some spots along that journey or around the room/building that stand out. At each location visualize the object you want to remember. To recall everything,...
The big question you probably have right now is – “How do I use these techniques for abstract words?” This is the keyto making visual mnemonics work for practical things, like studying for your medical, biology or law exams. It’s simple enough to create a mental picture of a physical object, but how do you visualize a weird sounding word, or words ...
Feb 28, 2019. Mike Gatting, not particularly known for his daredevilry, chose the 1987 final to play an impetuous reverse sweep that cost England more than just a wicket.

- Planning for Success. Approach studying in a positive manner. If you crack open the books while in a bad mood about having to study, you won’t have an effective study session.
- Practicing Active Learning. Read your materials out loud. Using multiple senses can help you retain more information, so even just saying the words out loud and then hearing them can be helpful.
- Utilizing Memory Aids. Master mnemonic devices. These are memory tools that help you recall things such as names, dates, and facts through turning that information into a memorable rhyme, word, or sentence.
- Use Exaggerated Associations. The fancy, scientific term for using exaggerated association is “elaborative encoding.” But you might be wondering… what is an association?
- Use a Memory Palace. When you want to retain info, you need to revisit it. You can do that using flashcards or Anki, but typically the Memory Palace technique is preferable.
- Test Yourself Strategically. In order to properly benefit from active recall, it’s important that you test yourself. Unfortunately, a lot of people cheat.
- Interleave. A lot of people “force” themselves to get through one book at a time. I have a PhD, two MAs and a BA and I can tell you this: I never do this.
