Did you know?

Need a mnemonic device to remember how to spell mnemonic? Although the word’s pronunciation begins with an n sound, the spelling begins with an m, as in memory. There are very few English words that start this way (mnestic and mnioid are two others), and as with similar Latin and Greek borrowings such as pneumonia, we retained the double initial consonant but not the pronunciation. In addition to its adjectival use, mnemonic is also a noun used to refer to a mnemonic device, such as the famous—or infamous—spelling dictum “I before E, except after C,” which isn't consistently helpful (just ask your neighbor to weigh in on it).

Introduction to mnemonics / Habr

Introduction

Good day! I’ll make a reservation right away that the purpose of this article is to introduce and, possibly, to interest you in such a thing as mnemonics. Mnemonics is the science of memory. That is, a set of methods and tricks that will help you remember large amounts of information in the correct sequence (For example, 100 random words (numbers) can be remembered sequentially with an average interval of 6 seconds). Some manage to memorize several thousand digits after Pi. Also, mnemonics helps in mastering a foreign language). But it's too early for us to think about it. You ask: “Why do I need your mnemonic?”. I will answer: you can use it not only as a hobby (from simply making life easier, to the fact that you can surprise your friends by offering to memorize N information in turn with them), but also participate in competitions (yes, there are memorization competitions, where not born geniuses participate, but people who have trained their memory).

Let's try to remember something

Mnemonics is based on such a method as linking information with images. To begin with, let's look at a fairly simple example of remembering: let's say you need to remember a password for mail.
In mnemonics, there are many ready-made and generally accepted 'standards' that you can use to remember the information you need. Here is a template ready to memorize numbers: 1-gzh, 2-dt, 3-kh, 4-chsch, 5-pb, 6-sl, 7-sz, 8-vf, 9-rc, 0-nm .

The code is based on a simple principle. In the main figure, such a consonant letter corresponds, with which the name of the number begins: Four - H, Five - P, Six - W, Seven - C, Eight - V. The second consonants are consonant with the first: CHS, SZ, VF. But these principles are not always observed in this code. Why? Yes, because there are only 20 consonants in Russian, and all of them are used. Therefore, a few exceptions to the rule just need to be memorized: 1-gzh, 3-kh, 9-rts.
When I tried to do mnemonics, the following course of action was given to me in the literature:
1. For example, you have chosen Rambler mail. To remember that this password is from this mail, we will create an image of Rambler-RAM (window).

2. Recall any poem that you know very well: “Faces are erased, colors are dull, either people or dolls…”

3. Designate this poem visually. In this case, you can imagine a doll on strings.

4. Associate the poem with Rambler. To do this, in your imagination, you need to hang the image of a “doll” on the “window frame” image. Consider the resulting combination of images for a few seconds.

5. Now practice entering numbers on your computer's numeric keypad. Speak mentally a passage of the poem and convert EVERY CONSONANT letter into a number in accordance with the memorized alphanumeric code. In this case, the password will look like this (words are separated by dots): 69. 7292. 3973. 2736. 2. 6. 62. 2. 6. 336. (LC. STRT. KRSK. TSCL. T. L. LD. T. L. KKL). It turned out a password of 23 digits. But no one bothers you to enter a password from more numbers.

6. During the day, remember the connection between the window and the doll several times and say the corresponding passage from the poem. This is necessary to fix the information (connection) in the brain.

If you get the hang of it, then, as mentioned earlier, with an interval of 6 seconds (it usually takes so much time to come up with an image / associate information with a certain template) memorize a decent number of digits. You can surprise your friends by betting with them for a bottle of beer that you will remember 20-30 numbers that a friend will name, but a friend will not.

I'll give you another, more complicated, but quite revealing example, so that you can better imagine what we are talking about.

In mnemonics competitions, there is such a thing as memorizing binary numbers.
A binary combination of digits is encoded into octal characters as follows:

000 - 0
001 – 1
010 – 2
011 - 3

100 - 4
101 – 5
110 – 6
111 – 7

So, to quickly memorize binary numbers, you need to learn by heart the correspondence of numbers in binary and octal number systems.

A memorized series of zeros and ones should be divided into groups of 6 digits.

1110111101101100110000010101011111111111111111111110

(111.010) (000.1001) (110.000) (010.101) (001.111) (010.1110) (100.000) (011.110)

The speed of coding needs to be brought to automatism.

Each triple of digits is replaced by an octal sign.

(7-2) (1-5) (0-4) (6-0) (2-5) (1-7) (2-6) (4-0) (3-6)

Octal numbers are paired.

(72) (15) (04) (60) (25) (17) (26) (40) (36)

The resulting numbers are encoded into figurative codes of numbers, which are also memorized to automatism.

SIEVE - LIPS - Tea - Tire - Axe - Goose - Shower - Kettle - Glue

Figurative codes of numbers are stored on a pre-prepared system of support images (loks).

Decoding (remembering) occurs in reverse order.

Reference image - figurative number code (SiTo) - 72 - (7 - 2) - 111 010

When automating the coding process, the mnemonist sees in six digits (111010) - one visual image (sieve).

If the speed of memorizing one image is 6 seconds, then the memorization time of one binary digit will be 1 second.

In fact, it should be understood that the mnemonist memorizes precisely visual images, and the speed of memorization in the tables of records for mnemonics is indicated incorrectly.

For example. If the table indicates a record for memorizing binary numbers of 0.66 seconds per digit (on average), then this should be understood as follows: the memorization speed was equal to an average of 4 seconds per image encoding 6 binary digits at once.

Based on this memorization technique, a simple "trick" can be shown. Invite your friends to lay out coins on the table, tails (1) or heads (0) up, in random order, 6 rows of 6 coins. As you place the coins on the table, memorize them (6 coins is just one visual image). After memorization, turn away and call "eagle" - "tails" - "tails" - ...

Since the speed of memorizing all the coins can be as low as 18 seconds (3 sec x 6 rows) and you memorize the coins as you lay them out, it looks like you memorized a whole bunch of coins at a glance. You can say that you have a photographic memory and you see all 36 coins on your internal screen. (Description of the trick - from the book by V. Possin "How to develop super memory")

Famous mnemonists

I will also tell you about one well-known mnemonist - Dominic O'Brien, six-time world champion in memorization. O'Brien is barred from many casinos. Dominik set a world record by memorizing a deck of 52 cards in 41.43 seconds. The scope of his memory is wide for Dominik: he participates in a TV show, demonstrating his abilities live, can learn about 400 foreign words per hour, etc. And the most interesting thing is that in childhood Dominic was a loser. His memory in childhood was even slightly weaker than that of his peers. He is not a born genius, he is an ordinary person who has trained his memory from a normal state.

Conclusion

At first I planned to write a rather detailed educational program, but imagining how much space and time it would take (about 15-20 times more than this: back it up with tables, biographies, etc.) set another task: to interest you. I think this will not be a negative side, since using the links below you can study this interesting, and most importantly, useful activity in great detail. I hope that I have aroused your initial interest in mnemonics and you will continue your acquaintance on your own. There are quite a lot of pluses, but I did not find any minuses in this lesson. If you speak English at a sufficient level, then after the initial acquaintance, look for information on bourgeois sites. That's all I wanted to convey to you. The rest can be found in the links. Hope you get some benefit . I wish you good luck in your endeavors!

UPD: There were several comments with claims that there is no practical benefit from this, that what is the use of remembering certain information in a consistent presentation. It upset me. So I couldn't deliver what I wanted. Regarding the "benefit of the sequence": you can memorize the way you want - even in sequence, even without. The practical benefits are incredible: you learn to remember large amounts of information correctly. There was also a comment about the fact that it does not stay in memory for a long time. Again not true. It all depends on you: what images you will come up with, by what method you will memorize. I ask you to take back your words of those who, having not studied this issue in more detail, begin to write here about their misunderstanding of the purpose of this lesson: it simply plunges me into a stupor. What is the use of well-tuned memory? There was also a comment about the fact that “having memorized several thousand numbers after the Pi decimal point, people can forget to take off their pants in the toilet” - for your information, these people keep very well in old age: they practically do not suffer from Alzheimer's syndrome, I do not have schizophrenia, etc. , unlike most 80-90 year olds. Sorry, it's just frustrating to read this kind of unsubstantiated comments.
