COURSE DESCRIPTION
Welcome to How to build a Powerful Memory: Learn information faster and keep it
longer.
This
is free course, which introduces some of the foundational concepts of building
a better memory.
This
course is geared towards people who want to improve their memory, be that for
school, university or college. If you need to study and learn a lot of
information, then it pays to know a few good strategies on how to do that.
In
this course, the instructor shares the basic concepts around using memory
palaces and mental routes to store lists of information. Practically all information comes in lists. Think about theory, parts of things,
chronological dates - they are all sequential in some way or other.
This
course will help you learn that sort of information. So far, for the sake of
building these courses to demonstrate how this works, the instructor has
arbitrarily learnt Pi to 500 decimal places, and the entire periodic table
using these methods. In fact, using these strategies, he could recall 500
decimals of Pi or the periodic table backwards (and of course forwards which is
a no brainer).
In
this course, David Barton explains these fundamentals of memory and presents
you with 3 exercises to get you started. The exercises are simple and easy to do, and
should not take much time out of your day. But you will certainly get the idea
on how to use these techniques if you do the exercises.
Using
the instructor's knowledge of psychology, he has given us a good rationale on
why these memory strategies work. Psychologically they are grounded in brain
research and science and he has put his faith in them, so he hopes we will too,
and use them to our advantage.
Since
the instructor learnt these methods, he has discovered that when he forgets to
use them, that is when he starts to forget. They certainly help him in his
day-to-day life, and he is sure they will help us too.
