After listening to some opinions, being a visual learner, memory palace is indeed a useful tools to strengthen the retention of knowledge and information in my brain.
Recently, I am reading the Tony Buzan’s Mind Map Book, learning to do mind map and find it very fascinating too because it is very thought stimulating, as the book stated, a simple mind map is enough for you to learn and remember a large amount of information! Is stated there our brain is an Associating Machine ya? ~
So I suddenly got this idea, if we link a mind map to the loci using some specific image or something, then when we review our memory palace, we are actually doing mental revision and also stimulating our thoughts ya? As when we review our memory palace, we will find that mind map then it will take us down the “journey” of that particular knowledge, ya?
I not quite sure if this is a good idea~~
What are you guys’s opinion?
TQ

Well, there’s still a lot room for experiments so feel free mix all the technics in innovative and creative ways. Test them and if they work for u don’t forget to let us know
Of someone has some sort of giant labyrinth memory palace, this could work really well.
Something I did, with reasonable success, was to make a memory palace for a concept. Make each loci a branch of that, and remember everything that stemmed from that a list. If something from one list connects to another, then I make a portal from the portal games, that brings me to the appropriate image.
So let’s say my living room is devoted to body language. The couch can be focused on shoulders, then using a list method or chain method I would memorize the shoulder signs. A chair can be focused on arm signs, I memorize those using a link system or a chain. Let’s say 4 items down on the shoulder list goes along with number 3 for arms, I make a portal, go back and forth a few times to stablize the connection in my mind, and then it works.
Hope that makes sense
I had this thought of branching out a palace the way a mind map works, but it felt like a maze and got too complicated, (the walls looked the same and it was mentally dizzying) so I stopped. I still have trouble forming mind maps on their own. Does any one have any useful links?
I used it like this on time, not so long ago. I had to learn some rules about verb conjugation in dutch, but as usual there are always plenty rules. So I made a made a mind map on paper and later on transformed it into stuff I would see in a book in my mind palace’s library. When opening the book, everything on one page will have an interaction with the next, or makes me remember the mind map in order to recall everything.
Hello my name is Greg. A while back you made these statements:
I make sure that I fully understand the why of a particular process and then try to boil it down to a strong, clearly visualisable, keyword or two - such as Signaller, Trains, Guide, Notice, L/C, Signallers. I use mind mapping for this process.
I then attach each keyword to a loci in my memory palace. Each of those keywords is, to me, a visual noun rather than an abstract notion. I, myself, appear in this story in 3 separate positions doing different things. And, like all the books advise, l’ve added colour, movement, sound and shock (I have a hanged girl guide slowly swinging on a gibbet in one loci)
I run through it in my head a few times and continue to recall it at odd intervals - while waiting for a train, or soaking in a bath for instance
I personally give many public discourses on various subjects using mind maps but find that using memory palaces very challenging. I was wondering if you could expand more on the process you use.
