Hi FiFi, what's the ' Major System'? I may have come across it i'm not sure. Over the years i have mixed and matched different methods and have come up with my 'virtual world' where i can freely walk ab...
Hi Oliver, I must admit i never knew that one "( body )", but there are hundreds out there, the alphabet being a well known one. My list was 100 to start with, then i sort of left it for a few years, now i only really ...
G,day Paul thought you might like to have a look at these sites concerning memory http://memory-masters.com/2009/10/08/the-wardrobe- method So you have created a virtual world in your minds eye , that sound interesting i would like to know more. I understand the way you do it by linking each of the items to each other in a story i have also done this to remember random objects. The only draw back is that if you wanted to know what the sixth item was you would have to replay your story and recount them as you recall them,with alist you know immediately what that item is and it is also easy to know when you have left something out. When i was first learning to improve my memory ( still am i'm still an infant really) i had a family member give me a list of twenty objects verbally they wrote them down so they wouldn't forget LOL I was able to recall them 1-20 and backwards again also they could ask what was no 2 and i could tell them i was even able to tell them which ones they had missed. With the limking method that would of been harder to do. Yes i would welcome this guy from Africa to join us. Have you heard from him yet? Also here is my email for you reviloh@virginbroadband.com.au

Hi Krytonlister ( Red Dwarf is a fantastic show) Thanks for responding so quickly the lists that i have so far for pegs are tree list 1=Tree (because the trunk looks like a 1) 2=light switch (off/on light /dark etc) 3=stool ( three legs) 4=Car ( four doors,wheels,speed, gears etc) 5=Glove( glove has five fingers) 6=Gun ( six shots six feet under) 7Dice= Lucky) 8=Skate (figure eight sounds like 8) 9=Cat (9 lives) 10=bowling ball ( ten pins) Number /rhyme list is self explanatory 1=Bun 2=shoe 3=tree 4=raw 5=hive 6=bricks 7=heaven 8=gate 9=line 10=hen Alphabet list A=ace of clubs B=Bee C=sea D=Diesel engine E=eel F=effluent G=jeans H=H-Bomb I=eye j=jade k=cake L=Elephant M=empty N=Envelope O=Oboe P=pea Q=Que R=Ark S=eskimo T=Teapot U=Unicycle V=Vehicle W=Wc X=Xray y=wire Z=Zulu Body list (for a to do list) 1=toes 2=knees 3=muscle 4=rear 5=love handles 6=shoulders 7=neck 8=face =9 point (top of head) 10 =Cieling Like you im interested in learning for self knowledge like all presidents of a particular country birth death etc Geography and of course remembering cards Not for gambling purposes but for party tricks( i dont gamble) Ive just been learning about the journey system. Which is using points on trips that you know well and using them as pegs i believe it is a good system for remembering long lists Today have been working on the major sytem numbers 1-100 just creating pictures to represent those nos using phonetics. How do i do it... Lets say i wanted to remember a presidents name like woodrow wilson i would convert his name to a sound alike picture for me it would be a piece of wood rowing across a lake with a will.Once i have a vivid picture of it i would then peg it to one of my lists, such as my major list at the appropriate no. for this ill just choose no 1 which is tie. I would then see my self placing this tie on the piece of wood i would exaggerate it lets say bu stapling it may be i stapled my finger also. So now for me to remember Woodrow wison no 1 brings to me a tie which bring to me the picture of the wood etc which translates to woodrow wilson I hope that helps. Ps these pegs that i'm creating havn't been utilized as yet.Ive spent the last three years doing night shift and feeling to tired to concentrate but have now changed shifts and once again am feeling alive and wish to develop my memory.
Hi Krytonlister I would be very interested in your memory training. I have done some already can remember lists using alphabet, number/rhyme am interested in roman room method. Would love to teach these techniques to my daughter.
Hi , anyone interested in learning the 'Memory Peg System?'
Once learned, you will be able to remember things like, packs of cards, lists of anything, numbers(even 100 digit numbers), the calender is suprisingly easy! In fact i know the calender from 1750-3000, go on- give it a go, will take less than 4 hours(my 9 year old girl did it in that time) to learn the system, and from there you will be able to go it alone. 4 Hours! Work at your own pace, could learn it in one lesson or spread it.
Hi all. did a memory course back in 70's, has it improved/changed much? , are there better methods now? I still use it - but if theres better out there, why not change (or would changing be confusing?)
