I know this topic has been mentioned here before but does anyone think it is possible to train memory by doing something like this . I’m curious if it could benefit the encoding process of memory because you associate each letter with a colour and you visualise it, this allows you to recall better. The below image is basically just setting each letter of the alphabet to a particular colour and then reading online articles with letters in those colours.

Yes, this is very beneficial from personal experience, but you must use a pastel background color and a single color for each number and word.
I don’t want to go into many technical details, but synesthesia can be acquired, research studies on this and you can find more details there.
The following table is a template that I use for my image lists since I am always memorizing lists, names of actors, literary characters, etc… But mostly I use color psychology for numbers since I have emotions associated with said numbers, You can also investigate the psychology of color… I use a pastel background because the tests for acquired synesthesia used it that way, I don’t want to go into technical details.
It is true that it can give a too multicolored appearance and one thinks it is dizzying but it is neither complicated nor dizzying. On the contrary, it is very, very efficient and forces us to make more powerful mnemonic associations.
And if you mix it with sounds it will be even stronger, the more senses you use the better this has been tested by myself and researched, I don’t want to go into many details since you can find them online and it would take me more time than desired to explain this. So I’m sorry in advance.

Do you think of the chrome extension apps as a good way to train synesthesia?
What was your approach to changing the colors of the content? Some browser setting or?

Though for some reason at least on my phone with Kiwi Browser I can’t change the colors of the letters accordingly. Maybe it’s just a problem on mobile or my specific phone model.
