In this video, I discuss a memorization technique that completely transformed my academic performance during medical school. The Method of Loci, also known as the Memory Palace, is an amazing memory aid that people around the world are using to memorize and remember large volumes of information. After watching this video, you'll be able to use this technique too.

I wanna tell you please dont stop making these vdos. I am a former gifted student who now struggles to find her way of studying. And these vdos give me hope. I hope you continue making these videos

Thanks so much for watching. I enjoy learning theory and plan to keep making similar videos as time goes on.

Didn't expect to learn about adenocarcinoma today but now *I* know some of the features! Great work, Jake. Look up Simonides of Ceos' dinner party. That's how I teach memory palaces! A bit more gruesome lol

I'm studying neurobiology and there's something really rewarding about strengthening my neural connection via studying neural connections lol. Anyway, great info here (and in your other one on studying) What you're saying about emotional cues and context is key! It converts short-term memory into long-term and it works with both positive and negative associations. Not only with the memory Palace method but also for practice test taking... Especially when you get questions wrong. The mental struggle and frustration of not knowing the answer end up being the "negative" emotional cues that help us store and retrieve that information later. It's funny because in the moment it feels awful, like you're clueless, and yet those stressful emotions actually end up helping the memory stick! Also: Richard Feynman was a total boss 🤘 look him up!

What does ---- reflects?

Isn’t this similar to picnomic? Also don’t you run out of places to associate these topics. Step Usmle has a lot of topics, just that 1 page and it house of room is full of all association. What about other topics? Where do you store those information?

Yeah, it’s exactly what Picmonic is. I personally LOVE Picmonic, even if I go longer than I should go on review, I find that when I quiz myself on the concepts learned with Picmonic, I somehow still can remember. I’ve heard some people say that they prefer their own memory palaces over Picmonic because the Picmonic ones seem “nonsensical” to them, so they prefer to create a scene themselves. Personally, I don’t wanna spend the time creating a scene if I don’t have to, it’s all about efficiency for me lol. So I love Picmonic, once I go through it a few times BOOM it’s in there .

Also for me, part of a memory palace is creating a place in your mind with many rooms, base it on some familiar place but make it bigger in your mind. You memorize what concepts/rooms are next to one another, and “walk through” the palace to recall each concept. This is what I’ve done with the Picmonics I’ve learned. They live next to each other in my mind as neighbors. Haha

@JakeGibbonsMD 8 ай бұрын

Yes it is, the exact same concept as picmonic. I really enjoyed using both picmonic and Sketchy while in school. I have found though that the memory palaces I created for myself have stuck much longer over the years.

I run into this same issue, which is why i also throw in anki, and just pure memorization into the mix. I dont always use every method on every little detail, i’d say 1/4 of it i just simply understand it well enough to remember without supplemental methods.

@JakeGibbonsMD 8 ай бұрын

I'm with you, I mix it up and use whatever it takes rather than a single method for every single bit of information.@@imthrillz5255
