I’ve just started trying to learn to memorize a deck of cards, I’ve (admittedly briefly) looked at a few different methods:
- encoding each card using major system & memorizing effectively one random word per card
- using PAO but I found that memorizing/even just creating the table is quite daunting
- encoding each card using major system but for each card having both an adjective and a noun, and then pairing cards and using the first as an adjective and the second as a noun ← this already has shown me the most success because i think i find it easier to memorize like this? is this approximately as effective as PAO or is it worth making the full table?
it’s probably worth noting i have aphantasia so i find memory palaces to be significantly more difficult to use (but still doable)
