I remember in my Anatomy & Physiology class my teacher showed us a mnemonic in our textbook for memorizing the carpal bones. It went, "Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle." She made a fuss about how inappropriate it was and gave us an alternative that was more normal sounding, but I only remembered the first one

In Astronomy there's a stellar classification system called Morgan-Keenan. It divides stars into the following spectral classes (from hottest to coolest): O, B, A, F, G, K and M. Everybody learns it by remembering the sentence "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me"... It really works. It sounds so creepy that not even in a million years I'd forget.

Thirty days hath September.... All the rest I can't remember!

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude for your advice and clarified those points to understand clearly the palace memory , that's was remarkable , greetings from Bolivia

Very good video! We all can learn, we just need to find a nice way to make our brains work better!

i love this, this lady is to funny. I had to pause the video and laugh when she mention about pluto. I cant with her. this video was very helpful. thank you

The sound of music had the do re mi song. That was an auditory mnemonic. Also, there is a mnemonic for teaching directions on a compass: Never Eat Soggy WeetBix. That's an Australian cereal. Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit; that was used to teach me notes on the piano. Kings Play Chess Or Fight; I learnt that in University in first yeat biology to teach us the order of classification: Kingdom, Phyla etc. I'll shut up now.

This is awesome. Easy to understand and great examples. Thanks 🙏

This was a great and useful explanation of the mnemonic. Thank you

Thank you for posting. I will try some of these mnemonics. I could see them helping me a lot because I am a tactile learner than followed by visual. :)

Thank you so much...A great way to memorise indeed....The video is so helpful.... Waiting for more!!!

Thank you for sharing, I recently came across some of these very cool acronyms from the TV show The Mentalist. 7 levels of Taxonomy, Kids Prefer Cheese Over Fried Green Spinach (Kingdom, Phyla, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species) Then the word "Because" - (Big, Elephants, Can , Always, Understand, Small, Elephants)

when I was a student the math teacher teach us this trigonometric acronym SORCARTOA stands for Sinus = oposite angle divided radius or hypothenuse, cosine = adjacent angle divided radius or hypothenuse, tangent= oposite angle divided adjacent angle

Thank You for this Valuable information

very nice and very helpful... :-):-)

Brilliant!

for me they best way to memories something goes in 3 different ways: if it has a logicial reasoning behind it, try to fully understand it; if you have to rememberize something abstract (for example: dual space in maths) try to visualize it with a concrete trivial example(once you are familiar with the concept, get rid of visualization, or otherwise it will preventing you from understanding any further/deeper concepts); if you have to remember things like first 20digits of pi, try to stimulating your brain with different input simultaneously: read it aloud/using tts and writing it on paper at the same time and repeat it for several times!(pi = 3.141592653589793238462643...). find a comfortable place also helped alot!!!

I teach mnemonics. If you use a method and it works, you did it right. The loci, however, is generally the most powerful.

thank you very much much appreciated

Ok, this one is in Portuguese, but it works for me to remember the periodic table: Hoje Li Na Casa de Roberto Coisas Francesas (H Li Na K Rb Cs Fr - the first column of the periodic table!). This means "Today I read french things at Robert's house" in English.

This really helped me thank you. Now I can memorize my phone number and parents phone number without confusing them with each other lol.

I would rather keep the Method of Loci for remembering a speech that i am going to deliver only once, since I can reuse the same "palace" again in future. Because the associations would fade after I give the speech (because I'm not rehearsing them) then the palace will be fresh for remembering the next speech, whenever that is. For permanently remembering assorted facts such as vocabulary and terminology I use Elon Musk's method, of finding something about the word or thing that resembles something I already know. Then follow with spaced repetition as often as necessary.

Great. I like it

Good video !

Hello, it would be very nice if you republished the Portuguese Socratic videos on this channel, and continued with English classes for Portuguese speakers, so they could have a new lease of Brazilian public and Portuguese speakers. I like the channel a lot, you guys do a great job. ola, seria muito legal se vocês republicassem os videos do socratica portugues nesse canal, e continuassem com as aulas de ingles para falantes de portugues, assim poderiam ter uma nova leva de publico do Brasil e falantes de portugues. Gosto muito do canal, voces fazem um otimo trabalho. um abraço

Perhaps mnemonics is 'seeing' whit your 'mind'? Mayby the "Binary System" can be used as a tool for remember Logic Operators or certain elements in the periodic table??

thanks

Really good methods

Great video

Informative video, It has cleared my mind thnks mama

Hi ur videos are awesome.....by watching it first video I have subscribe to u.....

Wow that was fantastic, I figured before you talked us through it with the president's I'd try it out. My story started off getting up from bed, and as I'm walking to the door curious george is brushing his teeth in my washroom, I ignore him and move on, open my door and there's a skinny dude with a very prominent adams apple standing infront of me...w/e I move on to the stairs where my friend Thomas is standing, and he looks like he did 10 years ago...I walk down the stairs and up to some random man and he's mad about me waking up late, I've assigned him the name james, and when I walk into my living room there's a cartoon version of Marilyn Monroe with a very frustrated expression, it seems she had a fight with James. I shrug and open up the fridge and there's a beaver's dam in my fridge and there's a flag on the dam with an archer's bow drawn on it. (Yeeaahh I don't get the last one either, it just works) That was the six five anyway, recently got really interested in the method of loci since I'm starting med school soon and was trying to figure out good study techniques. This definitely needs to be taught in school...

which president is best to assign to washing mashine?

Try _Moonwalking with Albert Einstein_. It's got lots of this stuff between its covers. Kevin Horsley's _Unlimited Memory_ is good too.

My favorites are: Yoyo mixoxo for remembering the equation of the line [Y-Yo=m(X-Xo)] And: 1, 2, 3; 3, 2, 1; everybody over 2, square root of no one, for the sines and cosines of 30, 45, and 60 degrees. (Sin30 is 1/2, no square root there, cos30 is sqrt(3)/2) hopefully this second one makes sense, it's better to explain with a table rather than plain text.

the wiggles taught me an easy way to figure out right from left is splay your hands out and the one that forms a right around L is the left hand

how can you study terms like wage and salary etc

@Socratica

7 жыл бұрын

Interesting question! Have you considered writing these terms into a short story - like a paragraph or two - about a business that is hiring, and someone is applying for the job, and they'll be paid this wage or this salary, etc.? But if it is purely vocabulary terms you need to master, we've found using flashcards with spaced repetition is the very best technique! Here's our video about using flashcards: kzread.info/dash/bejne/omdh0ZKpqKfYfJM.html

I remember a riddle/story of a jersey cow named Georgia on the empire state building...if you knew this story, you'd know the 13 original colonies :)

best way for me is to learn the subject more deeply. That way I don't need to try memorize little facts, instead they just become obvious. Also in the age of Google it becomes useless to memorize facts

I’ve been trying to learn memory techniques, as I have a poor short term memory, which is common in people with ADD. Many of these memory techniques seem like nonsense to me and seem like they would make things harder to remember. Acronyms, and associating people with famous people of the same name (to remember their names) have worked to an extents Other than that the techniques I’ve researched (like pegging) don’t seem to work for me. Only the simplest memory aids seem to help, and even then my memory has not improved dramatically. I’m at a loss for what to do, seeing how many of these techniques have actually made it harder to remember things. Passive memory techniques (if such a thing even exists) would be helpful.

Honestly the secret is trying one and sticking to it til you see the fruit. Memorization is hard for everyone. So all the methods are difficult at first and seem pointless. But that’s because you’re thinking about it instead of actually doing it. Many small cuts fell a big tree. Don’t stop chopping till the tree is felled. You will want to give up and spend an inordinate sound of time looking for an easier way but it’s a big tree, everyday is going to be hard. Try getting other people to memorize with you so you have accountability and encouragement. So persevere, don’t give up! It is not hopeless regardless of you AD issues.

Let me see if i'm handle this properly: I imagined a street called "Street of presidents", wich has 10 houses. Then, i put the house's name of each president. Is it? I think so xD
