When I started to feel like I was forgetting what I was reading, I decided to add one special exercise to my daily routine: I would read one page carefully and then, turning it over, immediately try to reproduce what I had learned on the previous page. This made my reading very slow, but after a few weeks I noticed that my working memory improved significantly and I was back to normal reading.
I really value your videos - thank you Artem. I'm a first year PhD student in archaeology and use Obsidian but have been considering incorporating Anki into my workflow for some time. This video may have tipped the balance for me!
This went a very different direction from where I expected it. You've repeatedly shown that much of the memory handling functions of the brain involve creating spatial maps. The ancients seemed to have an instinctive understanding of this, thus the use of "memory palace" techniques. It's because of this spatial association technique being widely used to memorize speeches that we rhetorically tend to argue, "In the first place ..." It's also why people remember more of what they read if they read physical books instead of e-books, the book has a spatial dimension.
Its actually trauma, and continually traumatic events that create "blocks" Nothing degrades over time, every memory is crisp, and clear...as you KNOW it should be. Your getting there...keep going.
Just found out about your channel (great content!), I am a neuroscience student as well (started masters this year). At the end of the video you said that this method works best if one's passionate about what they are studying. What if I came across some topics that I am not really interested in? How do I make them appealing to me?
That's a Nikon Small World winning image of hippocampal neurons - www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2020-photomicrography-competition/connections-between-hippocampal-neurons-brain-cells I've slightly modified the color balance to make it look better as a background though
Your voice is hard to understand, because of the reflection of your table into the mic. Get it closer to you or use a Lavalier microphone. Love your vids. Keep it coming :) ♥
I'm known to have a very good memory. I almost never take notes during a meeting, because it actually makes me forget things. I do jot down superficial vocabulary - because the vocabulary has little to do with the knowledge but a lot to do with the embodiment of the knowledge into natural and factual language. The key to deep and long lasting memory is to UNDERSTAND the dynamics of he topic ; the ones that surface in words and concepts. If you do not understand the "gist" of a piece of knowledge and merely approach it from a taxonomic point of view, your memory of it, and your ability to extend, debate or transcend the knowledge, will be very poor. The question then becomes : What is 'understanding' ? It is that part of intelligence that still eludes research in artificial intelligence : The ability to feel the dynamics of a phenomenon ; its reason as an effect, and its medium as a cause. Some phenomena are merely accidental nodes in a causal graph ; others are imparted with teleological intent (Aristotle's Four Causes may good to revisit).
Артем, а можно попросить тебе сделать видео на ту же тему, но уже с нормальной проработкой? А то таксономия Блума, карточки...это вообще позор для ученого из нейронаук из МГУ - никакого системного виденья.
speaking of remembering, I was thinking the guy's funny, lemme like the video. (it was liked) OK, he has this manifold nice video too, let's subscribe to its channel (already subscribed...) sh*t man!
Hi! Yes, I have been using RemNote for creating flashcards from the outline, when I was preparing for the exams last semester. However, at this moment I'm using Anki much more than RemNote, mostly because the collaboration features of RemNote are still buggy - I can't conveniently share the flashcards with my friends. Whereas import / export functionality of Anki is more convenient to my taste
