Direct visualization and superimposition

[Meonemonics]

Hey all,

I was wondering if anybody did this. Direct visualization and superimposition which is basically where you would capture snapshots of things like mathematical equations into your minds’ eye and then you walk through a memory palace and impose it onto certain objects. But you try to see them really clearly in your minds’ eye and emphasize certain features.

Is there anybody here that has done this? Of course you can do this w/mnemonic techniques; I know because I’ve done this with some equations.

Also, is it possible for us to get an examples category on this website? It would just be really neat to just have a repository of examples you can see and look into. Why doesn’t this website have that category? Preferably separate just to get inspired and have ideas on how to go about things.

Have you see this post yet: Physics Equations - 180+ - Video Inside ?

@medicalapplicant

I can now “see” the equations and/or facts without hesitation, analyze the relationships clearly in my head, and move forward or backward without reservation. Although this may not work for everyone, I cannot begin to explain well I’m scoring now on practice MCAT tests. Specifically, I “see” the given variables, recognize the “concept” in question, and my mind immediately populates a list of facts, equations and/or relationships nec. to answer the question.

I guess the examples are scattered around various posts and sections. If you type “example” into the search box, there will be some results. Are you looking for a specific kind of example?

I have seen that post!
That’s where I got my inspiration from and it allowed me insight on how it would be done!

I know that you can search up examples on the search bar, but what do you think about adding it as a separate section? It will be nice to have a bunch of examples in one bin so anyone that’s looking for some insight in how other people are doing things can get inspirations from there as well as a general idea of how to go about doing it because I see a lot of people asking for insight on how to do certain techniques on this forum a lot but they’re scattered all over the place. It would just be nice to have a separate section for all of that.

Not sure what your thoughts are on it though, but would love to know.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m trying to get a better idea about what kind of examples you’re looking for. Could you link to a few posts that you would consider as good candidates for an examples section? There may be a way for us to group them for easy access.

Poses of photography

I would use a loci method/palace/journey and turn each pose into a person, series character, movie star, animal… that could pose like that. Make it very memorable by adding strange events, short stories, humor, love … And repeat a lot. There’s no substitute for hard work.

Physics Equations - 180+ - Video Inside

Hi, Thank you all for this excellent website dedicated to memory retention. For fun, and out of curiosity, I made memory journey/palace/loci for four individual MCAT sections: Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. The journey includes formulas, facts, and additional information I thought was necessary for the MCAT. Here’s a video of me reviewing 180+ physics equations. Because this was my first take on camera, I didn’t realize I skipped 10 equations concerning standing waves and/o…

Gavino's Massive Memory Palace System - Practical Examples

I have had a few messages asking for more practical examples of MMPs, so thought I would share some responses (apologies if I ramble!) and other information on this separate thread. Anyway, to recap on some of the MMP key points: I have found that I can easily imagine a location with around five loci (see below) and with a little help from a location that I already know (even if only slightly) I can get that up to 10 loci or more. In terms of locations that I already know (or can easily p…

Why? Because they all have direct examples that you can read off of and even try on your own right away.

I’ve added a way to group posts like that by tagging them with examples. (Click that hashtag to visit the collection.) The examples span multiple categories, so that’s probably the easiest way to group them.

I’ll browse around now and add a few more threads now. If you see other threads that you think should be added to the examples, send me a message (or flag the post and choose “Something Else” under the reason), and we’ll add them.

Can you please share some of your pegs also give an example of any physics equation(one that is quite complex and difficult to memorise) and how it works. It would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot user_7e, it was very helpful. you explained it beautifully. I will also try this now.

The only time I’ve ever sat down to memorize equations was to learn the trig identities. For those I used mnemonics. In other cases the logic of the equation was enough to attach it firmly and I think that is mostly verbal memory, for me.

g = GM/r² to my mind must be so. It’s a surface area effect and hence proportional to the square of the distance.

I have Some Old Hippos Can Always Have Tons Of Apples

For the basic trig identities from when I was 12 yrs old.

One episode of the Simpsons cartoon cracked this one:

Q How do you laugh in Polar Coordinates? A. rdrdθ

About as geeky as you can get but actually a good mnemonic for transforming an integral to polar coordinates.

To learn an identity I would derive it. Repeatedly until I understood why it had to be be what it was. If I was unsure of the exact form I would trace through its derivation quickly and check.
