DDRS is a new standard of memory in the namesake of a fast learner called Sabrina.

@NelsonDellis any thoughts on improving memory for us with aphantasia? (Inability to visualize). I have a great memory, but retrieving the way most do just isn’t possible.

What about those of us with Aphantasia? We can't form visualizations in our minds like most people can. When I say, "picture a bouncing red ball", you can probably see a red sphere bouncing on the ground. But I don't see anything. I can hear the bouncing, and I can feel something round going up and down, but visually, it's just static.

I wouldn’t say superhero…

Very interesting!

@@domlight7254 second that.

​@@domlight7254Like, you can read a word (or see the symbols) in another language, understand it in your mind, but not quite say it out loud or speak to another person.

​@@domlight7254 If I understood namanaama correctly, she means the act of actually pronouncing the digits. It's kinda like when having to sing your favorite song a cappella on a stage, it's significantly harder to recall the lyrics because your memory of the lyrics is tied to listening to the instrumentals and the rhythm of the song. But in this case, it's saying the digits out loud on a stage that Sabrina hasn't trained, and that takes mental capacity away from her.

It's funny how people respond to arbitrary difficult undertakings. Or maybe I should just say "quests". I went on a long bicycle tour years ago and I got the wildest cheerleading and support for it from random strangers. As soon as I shared this thing I was doing, they were cheering me on, wanting to know why I was doing it, and just being excited. I think it's a happy part of human nature that we do this. I thought Sabrina's theatre recitation would be kind of meh, yet that audience (and of course, Sabrina's imperfect struggle) made it positively electric. Deep down we want to see each other achieve and improve, and I think that's pretty beautiful.

Same. People in the room tracing numbers on their own little cards is so wholesome

Nu uh

It gave me full tears

It does make certain aspects more difficult, but it isnt as big of a handicap as you may think. I have grade 5 aphantasia, meaning I see nearly nothing at best and usually nothing at all. But theres a dramatic difference between the capacity to "see" with the minds eye vs "know" theres something there. What I mean by that is that your spatial memory is likely still healthily intact, otherwise you couldnt navigate your home in the dark, you'd have difficulty remembering general layout of a home, you wouldnt know where you keep food in your pantry, and so on. In the same way you may not "see" your bed in your mind, you know where it is in the house, where it is in the room,roughly where its near other furniture and you know what face of it is closest to the door. All without "seeing" it in your mind. You can apply the same thing to building locations in your mind and creating mnemonic images to store information there. You may store less images per location or require more time to build the skill, but as someone with aphantasia who built 5 palaces, a 100 person/action/object system over just the last 2 weeks, I can promise you its possible. Please try your best to build the skill, and focus on a multi-sensory experience to add detail over just visual. You may not see the couches fabric, the grain patterns of wooden furniture or even the exact shape of the room, but you likely can "feel" the fabric, "smell" the wood" and "hear" if the room is tile or carpet/big or small. Details make things stick, and the more you practice now, the faster youll get :)

@@Eli-el7mr i also have aphantasia, but the difficulty comes with with assigning things in places and remembering them later, especially when what i'm trying to remember isn't something i'm already familiar with also, while my visual "imagination" is nearly nonexistent, my spatial "imagination" is still very elusive so doing this is quite difficult for me i mostly experience my spatial imagination in dreams rather than when i'm awake and in the few times i do it consciously it slips out of my control a lot

Weirdo.

I was literally thinking about this the whole time i was watching this video, it truly sucks to have aphantasia.

@@Eli-el7mr No actually, I can't feel any fabric, smell any wood, or hear any sound..

You can see the exact moment she realizes it's working.

Well, that's because our brains generally set aside stuff that it hasn't used in a while. Sometimes it is use it or lose it

Well 2020 was in those last 8 years. That pretty much wiped the events of 2019 and earlier from a lot of people's memories

​@@bornachi wish it did to me lmao

Impressive! I memorized like, 40 digits when i was 14 to try to win a competition, and I can only remember, like, 12 now, lol.

@@bornach bruh, 2020 wiped itself out of my memory. the few things I remember are the first time I got a trailer for genshin impact and me taking selfies to remember how long my hair was getting.

I can't believe I didn't notice before reading your comment, that 3141 is the beginning of Pi w/o the decimal point.

​@@redmatrixyeah man thats the reason she chose to memorize that specific number of digits

@@redmatrixlmao

*i now discovered how space tastes like! take a look at my 100 research papers and this spoon of space taste*

Yes! I second this idea. We need to know!

yes please

YES.

And to see if she still remembers all 3141 digits! :)

wow who won it

@Its_A_Developer 7th grade the winner was me and I got apple pie and then by 8th grade ppl were getting to 100 digits of pi. the winner of that year got Banana cream and her name was Gabby 🏆

My school (K-9) apparently had enough pie lying around that anyone who could remember more than a certain number of digits based on what grade they were in got a slice of apple pie.

That sounds so fun!! Agh I'm a little jealous lol (I might be biased because I love pie, though...)

@@teally-bop hard agree, pie is the best!! Some ppl don't appreciate warm fruit

@@privatizitat815 same😅😂

Wait thats so fascinating! :O

I have basically the opposite of aphantasia. I can rotate entire 3d objects in my head, imagine models of houses, remember vivid imagery and dream vividly, etc. …but I can’t for the life of me remember numbers… I can’t tell you my numerical passwords, I remember them via muscle memory. I can’t remember phone numbers or birthdays. It’s difficult for me to remember room numbers of hotels, addresses, etc. And you really don’t want to know how long it took me to memorize my own phone number (multiple months). I’ve always wondered if these two things were related somehow, but I’ve never been able to find an explanation.

@@luxill0s Hyperphantasia! My partner is the same way; that's actually how I realized I had aphantasia-- my partner is an artist and was describing their thoughts, and I realized "picture ___ in your mind" wasn't just a figure of speech. People *actually* see things, they aren't asking you to think about the description of an object -_- Your dreams must be wild if they are anything like what my partner describes!

Could you give a bit more detail, maybe an example?

@@reeyanchoudhury6014 if that is directed at me, I'm not sure I could give an effective example. I really like numbers to an abnormal degree (I've changed walking routes in order to walk by parking lots so that I could look at numbers). When I see numbers, I like to apply operations to them to sus out qualities (factor, multiply, check divisibility, etc.) or recognize them from elsewhere. As an example a few days ago I was riding in a car and the car ahead of us had a license plate whose numeric portion was 2184. There is someone in our village with the same numbers, rotated (8421), so that's a connection, but it's also really satisfying because 84 is a multiple of 21, which in turn means 2184 can be easily factored to 104*21. And you may be saying, "hey, I recognize 104, that's the number of whole weeks in 2 years" and that means 13 divides 104, so 2184 = 8*13*21, and then you think "well heck, those are Fibonacci numbers, and in sequence!" And suddenly the weird little number is pretty cool. I've been doing this for at least 25 years, so I've interacted with a lot of numbers, and some are more familiar than others. This makes number sequences kind of a cheat since my equivalent to a "story"/"palace" is composed of numbers in sequence:P Example from early on in Pi (which I've mostly forgotten): "4197 is connected to 16 is connected to 9399375 which is connected to 1058 which is connected to 2097, to 4944, to 59, to 2307,..." - 4197 reminds me of a cooler version of 4096 (2^12, a number I used a lot as an assembly programmer) - 16 is everywhere in my programming life, and is a power of a power of 2 (2^2^2) - 9399375, though 93993 is just plain fun, the 75 makes my heart sing. When dividing integers by powers of 2, the decimal expansion often ends in "375" (i.e. 3/8 = .375), and even 9375 which is particularly pleasing (e.x. 15/16=.9375) - 1058 was the last 4 digits of a phone number I once knew - 2097 looks somebody Frankensteined 2047 (one less than a power of 2) and 4097 (one more than a power of 2) - 4944 I dislike this, number, I don't remember why. Still cool, 24*206, both of which are memorable numbers (hours in a day, bones in a body) - 59, also dislike this, but to be fair, it is prime, and one less than a product of consecutive primes (2*3*5-1). I have not found a pleasing niche for this number - 2307, I just like it, like an improved version of 1807.

I'm guessing then that it's likely that you have some form of aphantasia, which is a spectrum and can be selective if I'm not mistaken (I know the former, unsure abt the latter), which is where it's harder or basically impossible for people to picture things in their minds, especially with detail. That or maybe it's some sort of spatial memory thing I'm unaware of?

I think I have a similar problem, the whole idea of memory palaces terrifies me. I can remember whole songs and long passages of text when I try, but I'm awful with places. My mind is always skipping over details and missing turns. I don't play 3D games a lot, but when I do, I usually get lost.

I think I also have aphantasia I can remember whole songs, but physical things? Not happening. Like I *know* what an apple looks like. I can recognize an apple if I see it irl, but if you told me to imagine it I wouldn't be able to. I can't see anything when I close my eyes. The idea of it doesn't terrify me, I've just never been able to do it (as far as I remember which tbh my memory isn't that good)

It could be a result of natural aptitudes in certain areas. I generally also have not-great memory, but since I have really good 3D spatial awareness, if I can translate things into physical actions or spaces or whatever, I can recall it far better. Like, for some of my passwords, I literally could not tell you what they are... but I 'know' them because my fingers remember the motions and can tell when I'm inputing them in wrong.

Lots of interesting replies! I never considered aphantasia, since I can visualize scenes from fiction, etc. Once, during an online tabletop session, while I was listening to description and rp after the combat part stopped, I switched tabs for a moment to check something, then came back and was startled that we went "back" to the battle map-- then I realized we'd never left, I had just imagined what the gm had described. But also being autistic and going nonverbal only sometimes, I know selective isms are very much possible, hah. I think it's also relevant to note I have a terrible memory otherwise, though, between ADHD, migraines, and depression since childhood that was only first treated starting in my mid 20s.

I too have a high degree of mental 'blindness' and have never achieved an "image" when told to imagine. For me it is rare to see the 'dark shapes' and I have never been able to lucid dream or have in head visuals from psychodelia. This is a trauma response from my brains need for survival, i.e. I have DID and this is one way it manifested.

Same. I wonder what memory techniques could work for people like us.

@@PeterGravelle I feel like in its core all of this techniques are just conditioning. You can anchor the memories to a real physical object instead, or maybe bodily actions, an aroma/scent, taste, melodies, colours, basically anything that isn’t tied to imagining inward into the mind. Do enough repetition and it might stick and are able to be retrieved easily

but watch out

Same

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Pun intended?

As someone else that has been through the same dont get your hopes up that it will "fix" anything but you should learn some good tools that will help.
