Anastasia, thank you very much for sharing this. It definitely helps to use real examples. I currently use illustrations of colorful characters as memory palaces, with 12 loci per illustration. Since my primary use is for content of books I read, I find it very useful to have a character/minipalace/guardian for every chapter or two chapters. I would love to see more examples of codifying ideas, instead of literal quotes (I first summarize in notes the contents I want to remember, so the important part is the content, not the form). Again, thank you for this and good luck with this beautiful channel/project!! Loved the Ted Talk, by the way. Greetings from Mexico!!
Thank you Dante! I am glad you liked the video and the Tedx. I love your idea of a character/minipalace for every chapter, that is a great way to remember the content of books.
Hi Anastasia. What would you recommend doing when trying to learn long definitions of words? e.g. Delirium - "an acutely disturbed state of mind characterized by restlessness, illusions, and incoherence, occurring in intoxication, fever, and other disorders" You mentioned trying not to use too many images however how can you execute this with such a variety of words in one definition?
Hi Eli, there are a couple of different approaches you can do. One that some students find effective is to first get part of it down - for example up to restlessness, illusions. Once you are comfortable with this image and the words to this point are becoming easy (this could be in a day or so) add to the image the other words. This could be a whole new image/story next to the first one you created, either interacting with the first part (ideally) or just on it's own. For some words with multiple meanings I place visual images all around the central one - each one representing a meaning attached to this word. It is almost like a mini memory palace around the first key word (albeit less formal). I hope that makes sense, more questions please just ask :)
@@Anastasia_Woolmer Awesome! Thank you so much Anastasia. I'll use your advice at once and give it a go, very excited now. I really believe in the hard work you are doing, many people can benefit greatly and change their lives with these lessons you are giving out. It's just a matter of time till your channel and expertise sky rockets into the world. These lessons that you have created, should be at the start of every child's education. To have this knowledge is not only limitless in every aspect of learning however can be applied to everyone. There's something very special about what you are doing and I'm in full support of it.
Would so love to see a similar video! Its very helpful, its hands on, all the other videos will stop at the examples and are not concrete! I appreciate your work! Thank you from Germany
