Thank you for your reasoning. I can add to it.
- The brain can get tired because it is not trained for so much data at a time and you will not be able to work with the memory you need, everything else will be perceived. A mnemonicist friend of mine tried this on himself, he said, when memorising 4 pages of voluminous formulas for an experiment. He had a certain limit in his head and tried to overcome it, but it didn’t work. He ended up just resting for the rest of the day and not being able to do anything serious.
- The brain doesn’t care how much you memorise, but it needs to be trained. The volume is something you don’t have to think about and dismiss. There is a task to do so many processes, you do it.
Today I memorized 60 questions for an exam. It is better to start such things in the afternoon and have free time. You can do it all in 4-7 hours, taking into account the breaks. Took 10 at a time → rest. Most of the effort is spent on coding, I have 95% of the words are abstracts, you have to keep making it up and so it fits. Memorizing takes a small fraction of the time and is quite enjoyable, but it feels when the head says take a rest.
I had this condition when I memorised 180 numbers in 5 minutes and half of them were forgotten, weak connections.
I just need to memorise 60 question names → encode the answers into those images-> memorise → reinforce the connections after every ten and before bedtime + in the morning. It’s not technically repetition. If I were to reread this text several times and memorise - repetition. Of course, you would still read the text and check for similarities, because not all connections would be triggered immediately, but this is just a clarification, a hint to yourself. What have I coded paragraphs here, ah, remembered (after reading 1-3 words).
- Mental illness from mnemonics will never happen. They probably will if you rape your head trying to cross the barrier. It’s like hitting a brick wall with your bare foot every day. It will cause mental shifts due to psychophysiological factors.
- We can conclude from observations that there is a perception of information, the background that surrounds us + our special processes for remembering. And if you are tired of remembering, your brain will still fix and remember because it does it all the time. Interesting mechanisms.
- I don’t know what mnemonics were invented for. It’s self-made, haha. As they say, everything just (doesn’t) exist and then one finds it. Perhaps people have realised that this is the right way to memorise directly.
Or how to explain why there are many statements about the harm of writing. That people forget how to memorize. Already do not remember in what sources can be found, whether in the monograph of Frances Yeats, or in old books about mnemonics.
