Thanks WIRED for having me on this episode! Enjoy!

It would have been great if he introduced himself as "the 4 time memory champion, no wait, 5 time."

@Omar-wq9dz Год назад

I've never heard of a memory champion or coach before. I like how Wired can find experts at topics nobody really knows or thinks about

If this guy forgets your name then you know he did it on purpose 😂

@taldarim928 Год назад

I love how he just doesn't answer questions but gives us little presentation of more or less each question. I would definitely want to see more of this guy! 😊

Nelson: Sleep is super important for memory

@mickcollins1921

I love how he answered questions in a way that made us more likely to retain the info. He knows that just saying words won't yield much retention, but pictures and stories will last longer in our memories and will link us to the information he was trying to impart.

@Eline_Meijer

What he said? I forgot

"Bear Grylls peeing on a thong in your highschool bedroom" isnt a sentence I thought I'd ever hear

I was so confused about the memory palace thing until he did the example with the countries and I'm 99% sure I can recall that at any time now! So helpful, def using that!

@TonyP_Yes-its-Me

My memory is terrible, so I started watching this, and then I realized that I had already seen it, and forgotten.

I used to doodle a lot in class and during lectures and lessons, I got in trouble for it a lot. When I topk tests I would rememeber what I had drawn on certain pages of my notes and immediately would recall what my teacher was talking about while I was doodling that thing, and often remember the answer. Super weird 😂

WTF is up with everyone starting their question with "WTF"?

@khalilahd. Год назад

As someone trying to learn a new language (Japanese) this was actually so helpful. Definitely taking notes 🙏🏽

@duststorm10

In high school I used to draw in every class, and most of the teachers overlooked it because while I draw, I listen. When the tests came around, I always associated the lesson with the part of the drawing that I had been working on at the time, and it was simple enough that I was a straight-A student without studying.

I loved this episode. I didn't realize I was unconsciously doing a lot of these already. My go to method for acing tests in school was to study using spaced repetition or interleaving but while I was studying I would listen to the same song on repeat. Then when I needed to recall everything I was studying I would just sing the song in my head and I could recall almost everything, a lot of times the pages eidetically.

Yep, linking totally works. Many years ago I used linking to pass the knowledge test to be a taxi driver. To pass the test I was given a long, random list of streets in my town and I had to remember an adjoining one for each. Pass mark was something like 90%. I learned the whole A-Z in two weeks and passed first time which was unheard of. I have a totally average memory. It's a brilliant way to learn long lists and I still use it to this day. (PS Probably fortunately for everyone I never became a taxi driver, I drove one limo for a school prom and decided it wasn't for me!)

Most of the techniques involved visualisation. Would love to hear alternatives for people with aphantasia.

Here's a interesting trick to study for your test or exam... First check if your teacher or whoever wont have anything against you chewing gum during the exam... And the trick is to chew it during studing and tahn chew it while taking the exam... Its best to chose gum with distinc falvour and smell. It basicly uses what he mentioned about smell and worked like charm for me back in the day...
