How can I increase my memorization strength?

Question

How can I make my memory stronger?

Answer 1

Try using nmenomics. For example, my name is Barry and, sadly, I have a bald spot on my head. So, one way people could remember my name is by associated bald with Barry -- both start with 'B'. Do that with people you've just met. Also, use their names a lot in conversation; that will help you remember who they are.

Other than that, try to make associations between things.

Training your memory will take time but it's worth it!

Answer 2

Another strategy to use is the loci method. This is where you pair words or phrases that you want to memorize with everyday tasks in your life. The best way to do this is to take a task that you do repeatedly and pair the words with steps in that task.

Take washing the dishes for example. The steps and objects involved are 1-getting the sponge, 2-applying soap, 3-washing the dish, 4-rinsing, 6-putting it in the drainboard, 7-drying it, 8-putting it away.

Now, lets say you want to memorize the pledge of allegiance. Pair it up with the task. Picture yourself washing the dishes;
1-I pledge allegiance (sponge), 2-to the flag (soap) 3-of the United States of America (washing), 4-and to the Republic (rinse)...etc.

The task can be very long or very short, depending on what you want to memorize. Some things you could use are, pairing with buildings on your walk home from work, brushing your teeth, or cooking a favorite meal.

Hi Hotboy967,

Your memory is already very powerful, it is just a matter of you being able to harness it and use it and when you learn how to unlock it's potential, you will amaze yourself and others.

This is going to be a little bit long, but is worth it.

Start by creating a picture list of 10 items. Examples follow:

1 = A golf club,( when held upright looks like the figure 1).
2 = A pair of shoes.( Pair = 2.)
3 = A childs tricycle, (three wheels)
4 = Table ( four legs)
5 = Nickle ( 5 cents)
6 = Six pack ( six pack of drinks)
7 = Policeman directing traffic ( right arm pointing looks like a 7)
8 = 8 ball ( as in playing pool)
9 = A mine entrance ( 9 rhymes with mine)
10 = Someone playing 10 pens, ( An older version of bowling)

First just associate the numbers with the pictures. then have a friend write down 10 items and give them to you one at a time. When you get the first item associated, ie first item was an ice cream cone, picture in your mind a golfer swinging a golf club at an ice cream cone and it splatters. When you have that then tell your friend next, to proceed to next item.

Continue with the list, having friend tell you the next item (which would be # 2, and associate the picture with it. example item is horse, see a horse wearing a pair of shoes ie 2 = shoes.

Proceed until you have the 10th item associated. then you can amaze yourself and your friend by repeating the items back to your friend. Then, to really blow their mind, and yours too, repeat the items back to friend in reverse, from # 10 to #1. Then ask friend to pick a number from 1 to 10, and you give them the item, or have friend name an item, and you give them the number it was.

By now your friend is believing you are some kind of mental genius, and in effect you are, you just learned how to unlock the power of your brain.

Be sure and have your friend number the items for his/her own benefit while creating the list.

The results will amaze you, as well as your friend, proving your memory is more powerful than you can imagine and when you learn how to harness it, you will be nothing short of a genius in yours and everyones eyes.

You can continue with the list going up to as far as you want. For example:

11 = Train track ( Looks like 11 on the ground)
12 = Ball player ( With # 12 on their jersey)
13 = Black cat ( Some consider 13 to be unlucky as a black cat)
14 = Fort Teen ( Fort with teenagers doing something)
15 = Five teen ( See a teenager holding a nickle and doing something with the item, and on and on.

When you get to twenty, picture a pair of twins ( TWENty) doing something with the item. #21 would be twins using a golf club with the item. You get the idea.

Congratulations, you are now a certified memory genius,
and enjoy your new found power. Next time you go to the store, you will remember each and every item, and when you come to item # 9 as first one you come to in the store, just picture that the mine had a gallon of milk sitting in the entrance. . . . . . . . .enjoy,
