Pmemory Lesson 6 – Exercise 1
Today’s School of Phenomenal Memory covers the first database. This is a really cool technique and I was impressed with my speed of memorization and ability recall and remember the images.
In Exercise 1 it took me 21 minutes to memorize and recall 50 images. I missed one in this list and spelled one wrong. I spelled disc instead of disk (due to what I used as an image). Not too bad!
I started the 2nd memorization exercise where I am memorizing the 50 states in order. While this is something many children can do, it is something most adults have forgotten after 8th grade graduation. I don’t think the point of the exercise is to memorize the states, but it is a good benefit and something worth remembering.
I found a state symbol resource to discover images and facts about each state. This helped me remember the Maine was known for blueberries (a good memory image for Main)
So far I have the first 25 states complete. I’ll work on the rest in my next memory exercise session.
PMemory Lesson 5
Today I did the School of Phenomenal Memory Lesson 5. The first part of the lesson has a total of 75 images. The 75 images are memorized using a combination of many of the techniques taught in the prior lessons. I was completely amazed as it took me 43 minutes to memorize the entire list. When I tested my list I discovered I skipped one image during the memorization steps. So, I didn’t really forget it…I just overlooked it while memorizing the images.
The rest of the lesson adds 10 more numbers and their corresponding figurative codes. There is also a list of 20 things that don’t have an object that quickly identifies them. This is one my most difficult parts. I find it challenging to come up with an image for something that isn’t really an image. But I flew through that part and only missed one.
Again, I think the key to this is going through the lessons at a fast pace. Focus on the lessons. Don’t get stuck trying to come up with the perfect image. If you can’t come up with an image quickly have Google images open in a new window and just go with one of those.
I am gaining a lot of confidence in my memory now. This course is really starting to amaze me. Like many people I was hesitant to buy an online memorization course. Seriously, if you watch the videos of Ruslan and think “I bet he is faking that somehow.” You will discover after lesson 1 that this has potential. I am only at lesson 5 of 59 lessons and I feel this is worth the time, energy and money.
If you are hesitating to try this course and want to talk with a student. Just let me know and we can find a way to talk.
PMemory Lesson 4 – Exercises 1 – 3
During Lunch I completed the School of Phenomenal Memory Lesson 4 Exercises 1 through 3. That is approximately 10 minutes per exercise. Exercise 1 and 2 were simple, but I struggled a bit with linking familiar information to memorize places. One of the areas I always find I have trouble is finding (or realizing) an image that fits the situation. As a person that is normally not visual, I need to focus on building my image vocabulary. One method I’ve used in the past is the Google image labeler. A few minutes a day to describe images makes for good practice. I need to get back on that.
How do you build your image vocabulary? Does image visualization come naturally to you?
