Memorizing techniques – Mnemonic Table #4

January 13, 2010

Here’s third part of the table we create. As you can see below i might have been too descriptive with some of them, but I don’t see any reason why you wouldn’t creating your own one? It’s just to show which kind of connections you can create (and of course you can much more). The system is easy – assing number to an live image in your mind. It’s not a bad idea to start with just 10 elements position. You need to learn them first and then they’re ready to use as a cells of your mnemonic table. Ultimate trick is to be able to operate on them very fast and if you consider a table with 100 positions that is something. When you think 31 you see ‘jelly can’.

The practice of remembering the table itself is required for this memorization technique to go into “fast learning mode”. If you want to put stuff on table positions quickly you need to simply know them and work with your imagination pretty fast so it’s also very good practice of concentration skill – the more ‘creative with creation’ of assosciations you are and the faster you do it the more effective you will learn. When your 100 table is ready you do simple extension like 231 is ‘[*t]rembling jelly can’ and 531 is ‘[f]ried jelly can’ and that’s how you end up having 1000 positions in your table. If you’re interested in more theory check out Mnemonic Techniques For Accelerated Learning article! Else, let’s continue with practice…

Words to remember: possible, glass of crystal clear water, 55% of coffe in blood, new power socket, radar jammer, another great book, princess snowflake, filled shelf, dreaming dog, hard paper.

31. Thirty One – Jelly Can
Imagine jelly can with top of it swingin once for the possible word and once to probable word side. It’s like giant jelly scale! At once it opens and all the gummy bears that were inside falls onto possible word!

32. Thirty Two – Moreau’s Crew
Have you seen The Island of Dr. Moreau.  Anyway Monreau’s  crew can be even Monsters crew :D If you have not seen the movie then imagine… darkness – with one lightly area (see in third person perspective) and a scary monster barley holding a GIANT glass of crystal clear water. You may notice that inside there’s a bright jewel – the source of light. You may even notice that finally it pushes monster on his back and then you can see him falling down with waterfall and landing in… [maybe i overdid it but let's continue]

33. Thirty Three – Yellow Tree

landing in a great river of coffe! Creature stick to branch of weird looking mechanical tree which answers with alarm sound and a voice saying “55% of coffe in blood! Not enough!” and hide its branches.

34. Thirty Four – Goes in door
See pretty funny doors with giant number 34 painted on it and loads of NEW & FOILED power sockets as a border of that number.

35. Thirty Five – Is dark hive – It’s alive
Imagine personificated [given human ], nicely animated & angry radar jammer that sends signals to catch you (visualize them as lighting bolts). See yourself running through the wood and getting safely into dark hive which is your hideout. Unusualy… it starts to talk with you! Well… after radar you can’t be sure of nothing! You can also imagine that you’re IN YOURS hive/cave and that one day a weird radar showed up…

36. Thirty Six – These Rhyme’s Mix
See a giant Vinyl on one of your walls (give it a nice place by the window!) with a mega sized book sticked to it. The title can be easily seen and it’s ‘Another Great Book’… and then see few more in different colors growing out of vinyl!

37. Thirty Seven – Thirst Of Craven
Imagine Wes Craven dressed as Dracula and trying to catch… Princess Snowflake or something else that you need to remember!

38. Thirty Eight – Concrete Mate
Quite nice – see… a good mate filling the shelf with paint. Zoom out and see few hundreds more of filled shelfs – all mounted to wall from concrete.

39. Thirty Nine – Dirty Sign
See yourself driving in a car on a giant, dirty sign (you know how to imagine that – orange and black plus mud) with a canyon in a shape of dreaming dog.

40. Fourty – Get THE Shorty
See John Travolta [or some other you know/like] jumping over small walls build from toilet paper rolls that looks like created from stone.

Even if it seems a little big complicated it maybe because I introduce the number – element AND the way you join it word to remember. To practice simply recall positions in many different ways like: one – red tram, fourty – get the shorty, two – master woo, thirty nine – dirty sign or just from 1st to last position. When you master it you can start memorization action on a big scale.

Another ideas for mnemonic table
- build up your memory table on base of periodic table using, numbering elements from 1 till 100 and creating an image assosciated with it.
> build it up on a letter base as i describe in “Mnemonic Techniques For Accelerated Learning” – there’s link on top of this article.

That’s it – till next time! ;)
