Derren Brown’s memory techniques
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WPY3I8yTkY
Watch the video and discuss how memory techniques might be able to help you in your studies.
Link System
In an example given by Darren Brown, the first three items are: telephone, sausage, monkey. His first picture is of someone trying to dial an old-fashioned phone by using a flaccid sausage; his second picture is of sausage being cooked over a barbecue by a monkey in the jungle; his third picture is of a trained monkey doing up the buttons on your shirt.
The link system is used for remembering a list of random things in the exact order in which you wish to recall them.
1. Pound coin2. Sad face3. Magazine4. High heels5. Pen
6. Pillow case7. Milk8. Biscuits9. Side board10. Moon
You have two minutes using the link system to remember these ten things…
Memory Palace
Pick a place that you are very familiar with. For instance, the route might be your walk from the bus stop to your home. Another route might be the rooms in your home. Next put the objects in the room with a key visual image. This can be as funny, silly or disgusting as you like!
