Depends on what types of memories but for instance recalling sequences (of numbers for instance) is relatively easy using "memory palaces" given our inate ability to organize information geospatially. The book Moonwalking with Einstein is a great story on that matter, about a journalist teaching himself the skills after all competitors in a memory tournament told him "anyone could do it"
- tiagod 4y agoMy sense of direction and orientation is nearly non-existent. I have a really hard time imagining physical places. Any alternatives to mind palace for people like me?
- mguerville 4y agoI think the underlying idea is patterns in general, so if you're good with music you could use songs to memorize. Patterns just give you better boxes to file information in.
- ishjoh 4y agoThanks for the suggestion, searching Memory Palaces shows a lot of material I wasn't aware of.
