One of the best descriptions I have seen yet

this strategy is insane, I learned all of the 12 zodiac signs in about a minute

I have to agree with Joel - one of the best descriptions of the memory palace I've seen on KZfaq. No fluff... just pure content :)

*Great method! The only thing is, is that I’ve made one in a Lamborghini Store to memorise the subway menu so whenever I see a Lamborghini aventador, I think of a subway cheese toaster...*

I wish this individual narrated just about every video on KZfaq. He's really great!

Thank you so much for going in depth with the details. This was an incredible lesson and such a blessing!

Thank you! in 10 minutes you have taught me more than all the so called memory experts on KZfaq put together The subject seems to attract a lot of people who spend 30 tedious minutes talking about themselves to explain 2 minutes of information You're a very welcome rational voice ❤️

Thank you,Christopher!

Holy crap, you're a good teacher my friend. As u described your memory Palace via the route of your house i tried to visualize along with you, (via the route of "your" house, as well😁 Just for s**** and giggles, I guess & like a quick test to see how well it would work for me),lol, I just pictured what I imagined those areas of your home might look like & I swear to you, no lie.....Using the exact same route, examples, & material for memorization that YOU used I feel like I was pretty gosh darn successful. 😀 i swear that with visualizing the examples, even the ones you were giving about ur place. Which is completely unfamiliar to me as obviously ive never seen it before I was still able to picture & Link it all together in my mind to form a story. Seeing that it was your examples & your memory Palace I used pretty much the same story that you were telling. I just tweaked it here & there a tiny bit.😊 very tiny, like i changed the name Anna to my moms name Ahna. & I pictured Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld instead of Neil deGrasse Tyson, but I still visualized him (in a bed) only instead of a hat with an A on it I thought of the bed being (my bed) or (mA* bed)...... Works better when said out loud cuz it sounds like "my bed", lol....So I used the thought of it's my bed & it worked perfectly🤗 I can't wait to do this with places I know..... Soooo gonna start right now, this is an awesome technique😀thank you so much for teaching this😃😄😀i think once I connect it to my own personal environment I'm going to ace this shit. Thank u so much!!! You have no idea how badly I needed something like this. 😊This is seriously a godsend.....

Excellent! Very well explained, thank you so much! The best!

Thank you so much for inventing sir Simonides from the 5th century B.C. God bless us.

I was actually just thinking about doing this. KZfaq reccomended is spooky

Thank you for the example!

Muito bom, love from Brazil. This is one of the better explained videos about this technic, thank you!

Thank you very much. You helped me a lot with this detailed and simple explanation

simplest explanation thank you

Well done, this helped me tremendously!

Nice work very descriptive communication skills thank you very much.

Thank you Dr. Anadale. A very well presented presentation.

Great video! I love the way you think. I feel inspired :)

Best teaching on the subject

Mine is a little different. I have a small white room with a grey wooden desk and brown leather chair in the middle. The legs of the desk are drawers full of file folders. In each file is something I want to remember. I also have a recycling bin right next to the desk for things I want to forget. On my desk is a printer for new memories. On the walls are picture frames of places or pictures I want to remember fast. Everytime I want to think of something I go to my desk and sit down, look through my files and read whatever I'm looking for. One thing I have learned is how to make it so in my mind palace time does not work the same way and hour in there is 5 seconds in the real world.

Very useful. Thanks much.

Thank you Doctor Anadale

That was great. Thank you!

Thanks, sir!

Mind blowing

May try this for the circle of fifths & fourths (music theory)

best description of memory palace

Very nice tutorial

Dr. Andale, thank you so much. Your explanation of the memory palace was so clear and practical. I am so excited to try this technique. By the way, I love the Peanuts and the Simpsons (I will be using them a lot)!

Very good

My best palace is a golf course where I used to work. For each of the 18 holes I have 5 locations: somewhere around the tee (that distinguishes that hole from the others), the tee itself, the fairway (water hazard on some of the par 3s), a bunker near the green, and the green itself. With holes being numbered, and the ordered 5-locations-per-hole strategy, it's very easy to take any item I've memorized and recall its number on the list.

Man, Sherlock makes mind palaces look much more fun than they actually are... shame. I might try this out and get it down pat, but that's what I said about lucid dreaming 2 years ago and I haven't worked on that in a while. I may do it, I may not.

It seems a Memory Palace is a system where one remembers MORE things to remember FEWER things.

Chris Anadale is a total legend.

He is reading the list of the saints : )

Thank you for the details. Also, the palace used on the video background is called the 'Mysore palace' located in India.

Dr, I have read an intro book on philosophy and mind mapped info on major philosophers throughout time and added their main points. How can I memorise these using the method described? Thanks

Thank You Dr. Anadale. I have one question relating to memory palace. Suppose I got vast amount of information to remember for long term use, I will require many memory palaces. In that case, can we build the artificial or virtual memory palace as the familiar locations to be used as palaces are limited.

Using lots of memory palaces as I learn the Long-Term Memory portion in preparation for the 2022 USA Memory Championship.

The speech itself... rather boring. Don't know if it is the guy speaking or his tone.... However, if you can get past that (Also keep in mind it very well... just may be me)... This is one of the best descriptions I have come across referring to the Memory Palace / Mind Palace. Don't take the boring stuff the wrong way, I didn't mean that in a negative way, I think it is me and my perception, not you and your video. GREAT explanation and video.

Can't shake the feeling that he looked off the camera to read his script and DIDN'T use the advocated Memory Palace technique.

Very nice. How can I use the memory palace to memorize ideas rather than words? For example, how to memorize ten objectives from an specific activity? They are extremely subjective, dificult to extract the main idea in order to associate to a place.

Thanks for the explanation. Question: Do we use the same palace over and over again to remember other different stuffs?

Thorough explanation! For someone with aphantasia (unable to visualize images using the mind's eye), how can the journey be executed throughout one's palace wearing a blindfold?

I wish I had known this in College

Can you mentally throw out stuff out the mind palace when you don't need to remember any more? Lol

I have a question. Let's say my memory palace is my house. I start in room number 1 where there are 3 memory slots. Then, in room number 2, which is across an empty corridor, there are the rest of the memory slots. When walking through my memory palace, do I have to visualise myself walking out of room 1, walking through the corridor and entering and exploring room number 2 or can I skip the corridor and directly access the other memory slots in room number 2 instead?

thanks for your great video one question . i am a medical student and need almost 3000 palaces for medical informations so how can i make this path thanks in advanse

so in order to remember twelve things, you only need to remember 500 other things. Makes sense

Please help me understand this process as I am trying to learn it. So you memorize the palace routine and you associate one list with locations in the palace and memorize it. What do you do when you need to memorize more than one list. Do you still use the same palace? Wouldn’t the association get confusing if you keep using the same places over and over. Please help me figure this out.

It works, however i don't things now left to attached to any concept, what should I do

Well..i m a physics student..Now how to Memorize by deriving some problems???

I you read this and you are interested in memory palace you can try to create your palaces by using video games like minecraft or gta or any other video game

I know how to make it but how I can remember a book or chapter thanks

ok so lets say I use my sofa to put information I want to remember, once I remember what i need can I use that sofa again for different information?

Your brain works by association/location, so when someone mentions religion, your brain would typically jump to a church building. If someone mentions president, you'll go to the White House maybe. So associating a bunch of saints inside your own home doesn't make a lot of sense. I understand you may just use that to show people the technique, but you should make the palace a church building itself and make the correct associations there. Then whenever someone asks you about religion, your brain will automatically go to the church building location. You may not be as familiar with a church building as your home, but that's where your memory comes in. Create the 10 locations inside the church. Either get a picture of a church online or go and visit one and take a picture of the inside. If you can't think of locations inside the church building just use the number shapes themselves as the memory markers. So #1 looks like a candle, #2 looks like the shape of a swan, #3 = pair of hand-cuffs etc. So to remember this list just walk into the church building, you think I have to remember #1. One was the candle, so tie in the Linus blanket to the candle. Maybe it's being burnt by the candle. For #2 Imagine Cletus riding on the back of a swan. Etc. Either the numbers can trigger the markers or the locations inside the church palace can. Trust me, I read Dominic O'Brien's book, "How to develop a perfect memory" 20+ years ago. I still remember his list of 10 items in my house from 20 years ago and it's annoying actually. Still great video though.

So is it one memory per item or can one item be like a computer folder and have several triggers or links?

How can we trust if it really gonna wok if the teacher cant event memorise little of words.

Is this effective for philosophy students?

What if you move?!

If my memory palace is full of information can I just imagine a new room to the palace?

I thought he wasn't smile until the end of the video.

Hello sir can i reuse my memory palace?

This guy is reading from a white board or something. I expect people like hime to know what they are talking about and not just reading the information to me. I can do that myself. Thank you very much.

Using my home is difficult for me as I live in a brown paper bag in a septic tank.

I do this but with destroying demons and freeing people...

Rather strange that while speaking about a memory technique, he seems to be constantly looking at a prepared script.

Is really same memory place can be used over and over again as much as we want.isnt this way our information get clash with each other?

Is possible to learn a new language with Memory Palace?

This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "memorising multiplication tables" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Yiyevi Ponevi Approach - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.

Why use memory techniques, if you can just hang your manuscript on pages around the camera?

He's not using this method for he needs script.

Chandler Bing

It's tacky for a PhD in philosophy to call himself "Dr." The exposition is clear enough, but it would have been useful to know in what kinds of situations the memory palace technique is useful and when it may not be. A student's vocabulary in a foreign language may eventually reach 10,000 words or more. We can't expect to visualize that many real physical locations. If I remember correctly, the ancient Greeks used the memory palace to prepare for a public speech which application would therefore be limited in time, unlike a foreign language vocabulary. Andale doesn't give any examples of where he uses the technique himself.

I find distracting how you keep looking towards your left and top of the camera, I imagine you had the reading aids placed there ?

As usual you teach a memory palace but what happens when you fill that palace? What then? If you want to memorize 10000 words you will quickly run out of memory palaces. So what then? This is the question no one answers. There are about a billion videos just like this explaining a basic mem palace.
