Check out the links below. The free ebook is short enough to finish in an afternoon and will give you an overview of the various techniques.

Thanks I’ll read it tomorrow :blush:

There is no such thing as a best memory technique or anything. All techniques have there advantages and disadvantaged but more importantly, the info you are learning really dictates which technique you would use.

There are verbal associations, probably Sanathana Dharma verse recitation techniques, pronouncing words at loud; using kinetic movements as an auxiliary tool can be useful; same way with imagining smells, sentiments, and stimuli related to tact… People those days are afraid of getting out of the fence in that era of moral relativism (moral disarrangement) so they will say there is no best technique, but rather the one that fits the best for you (I am not intending to offend the members of that place), but without doubt I have to say there must be one that is the best, but I do not know which one is the best. You can have an astonishing performance using a memory palace to learn a language, like learning 500 japanese words, but you could also have an incredible performance through having a big set of data in your mind that serves as categorical references to the content in which you are learning (cognates, for a language, for instance), and just by using verbal associations (like illogical ones or just associating a word with a cognate you know), like for example learning 1500 Polish words in one day, but that method is less vulgar in the sense of popularity than memory palace. The method of loci (memory palace) is the most cliche method of mnemonic and the most accessible for people and it doesn’t require as much practice as verbal associations to get substantial results. For verbal associations, you may have to be really creative sometimes to learn two things that apparently cannot be associated with each other. A good memory palace ability and a good verbal association ability are two things that are hard to be determined which one is the best, but both combined together will bestow you incredible feats of memory for sure. There are many things to be explored in the camp of neuroscience and many unknown mnemonic systems yet to be discovered, so we must work hard to discover them.
