How to strengthen some memories without forgetting the rest of the memories

[aicreator]

When ever I memorisize words by

1. Combining them
2. Creating a sentence out of them
3. Visualizing them in a memory palace

And then when I strengthen some of my memories by paying more attention or by using more memory methods, I mostly forget the rest of the memories if the words which were not strengthened by me,

Can anyone advise me on how to solve this problem as solving this problem will greatly increase my memory and perhaps other people’s memories also,

Have a Great Day.

I think:

1. Your initial encoding of the data is not memorable enough…Your images are not memorable!
2. You are not reviewing enough(spaced repetition)…

You can forget the early ones because the images you are creating are not that memorable. Naturally the words you memorized first will be forgotten sooner than the last ones. Make sure you are making your stories memorable and over time with training, you will go faster and need less visualization to remember your images

I personally love the Leitner system for this. I have even made some adaptations to it that work pretty well. It makes sure that the things you dont know get more attention, while also giving some attention to the things you do know.

But that is what Anki does and that is what spaced repetition is. Isn’t it?

Well,I had tried to use Anki many times but was unable to use it and I am not understanding why people like it so much,and honestly recently when ever I tried to use Anki I loudly criticized it angrily,

But can you tell me why people like Anki so much and also people have to type in Anki so much and it does not have voice recognition support for this,But I think that it must have its advantages and may be one of the reasons why people like Anki so much,

Cheers.

I like Anki because it automatizes revisions, but I have to assume it has its faults and If I was a good programmer I would create a better spaced repetition application and I pretend to do so in future, unless the desire ceases. By the way, how to you revise what you learned in order for you to reinforce the neural connections related to them and not forget them?

Second is, association training, it is about the cue. Normally when you recall something you are not using the cue to recall anything, you are using something to remember the cue and then the answer too. With anki you can just have some cue which you do not need to remember and simply remember how to respond to that cue (the answer). This ends up halving the amount you need to learn while at the same time increasing the response to the cue (or decreasing the time to respond to it).

Could you please give me an example? Is it like Aarvard; Front of deck What does the sheep does? Back: Hard work —> Aard vark (Hard work); How could I do that sistematically with Anki in order for instead of remembering something Z directly, you remember something X that is the cue to learn Z; or how to progressively cut the difficulty of something, like remembering a cue Z, to remember X, to remember I, to remember P , to finally remember E, for instance (is that productive at all)?

Also, could you please talk about your own plugins? In case they appear interesting, I would eventually request you them.

Is there any advantage of learning chemistry? You gave me a little motivation to do so and I was used to be bad at that subject at school.

1. Because Anki is open source! If you know Python programming language,you can do whatever you wish with Anki…its algorithm,its plugins,its database! You are the owner of everything in Anki!!

2. Anki is FREE! It supports Mobile phone,Web,Windows and Mac(paid)…and LINUX,which is the coolest thing to have for poor people like me!

3. It supports Html,CSS,Javascript and you can design its cards and other stuffs the way you want!

4. You can create any types of plugins in Anki.

5. It has a spaced repetition algorithm that is tested and proven to be effective by the creator of SuperMemo in the late 1980s!

6. The DataBase of Anki is yours! I mean,you can have full access to the DB of Anki,which is so important(for me at least)! You can open the DB in a DB editing software and do whatever you wish!

7. Anki is a very stable software. I’ve been using it since 2015 and I’ve hardly ever seen it crashing or corrupting my DB!

8. Anki gives me the ability to customize the scheduling system,select Decks/Cards or even overwrite its own algorithm(with programming)!

9. It has got many great plugins developed by others for free!

I have not used Anki much, but I prefer Memrise, which incorporates audio pronunciation, along with image-based pneumonics that really made the memorization of foreign language vocabulary easier for me.
