They are similar, in the sense that both are visual retrieval cues, but memory palaces and visual links are 2 different techniques. Its like saying that taking notes and making flashcards by hand are the same just because they are both written study methods. There is an awesome compendium of research on the matter called "learning and memory a comprehensive review" that reviews this topic and shows how retrieval by story and by mental palaces is stronger than by visual cues.

@@SantiagoAQ huh I try to add some pictures that is realted to me, is it weird I find myself a very imaginative person but when it comes to something like studying it requires such a huge amount of concentration I kind of get tired of it but thinking about it, I'm gonna try to combine the two but I'm not sure, perhaps I'll give it another go and try not to complicate it

I was just saying this that it is difficult to concentrate on, I make up new ones for the same thing but it doesn't feel right and I don't want to waste time (ofc I'm not solely dependent on it either)

yo he venido utilizando ésta técnica desde mi preparación para el usmle y la puedo recomedar 100%

@@nope4309 Yes, it requires a lot of mental work, of course, as much you practice it as much it is becoming easier by far, but definitely it is gonna take its time.

@@ronneycelisalinas9170 Lo prácticas solo mientras estudias o también haces meditación o ejercicio de visualización activa?

what is the study method

Agree with the first point disagree with the second one. The ideal is always to make the palaces yourself. I myself don’t use sketchy but that’s because visual cues work better when self made (that way you don’t have to memorize another layer, it’s there from the get go). In addition I don’t necessarily think you need to make hundreds of stories. I still believe you can learn medicine mostly through reasoning and deduction not memory. But for the topics that rely strictly on memory I do believe this is a far superior method. If you compare the upfront cost of making a palace vs a flashcard a palace is obviously more effortful, but it pays in the sense that you don’t have to repeat it as often. In the real world I find this solution much more practical because you have to keep in mind that most people repeat flashcards only up to a certain point (how many people continue doing flashcards after an exam is over?). In these cases you have to consider not only the cost of doing and repeating the flashcards but also the cost of re-studying the topic. I for one studied the antiretrovirals up to 4 times with the traditional methods, but after a few months I inevitably forgot them. Then made one mental palace and have been able to remember them ever since without further restudy.

Thats ideal challenge

I still try to learn most things through logic and deduction, so I see no need in having hundreds of palaces. But yeah I do have a handful of palaces in my house to remember the topics I struggle with the most

Ok

The side-effect of doing this is While creating these mental formations. One will easily gets to sleep. I always go to sleep after constructing 2 such formations. Anyway to overcome this side-effect?

I love your videos so much bro
