thats the game pelmanism Quickly form a story linking all the objects in first row and as many as you can in the limited time and start turning there’s no time to encode them all I use my natural memory and keep opening new ones till find one that matches the ones I’ve turned over before seen it gets easier as the pairs are eliminated and you no longer need to remember those pairs and they become spaces .I am a visual person so practise makes perfect Begin with small magic square and keep adding rows and columns till you get to 7 x7
Hi and welcome to the forum.
I commented in response to the original post that the rules of this memory game are very unclear and thus it is very difficult to make any kind of meaningful assessment of the proposed strategies. You have added another element of difficulty in the form of none existing punctuation marks, so your contribution reads as one big sentence.
Would you be willing to add punctuation and perhaps give us some indication of what game rules you think your proposed strategy may be useful for?
Sorry I was only trying to simplify an overly left brained complications to a more right brained approach rather than be 100% accurate Speed is of the essence and think I would beat most people not by the least mistakes but by the fastest moves. Its like that old joke ’ I am the greatest lover in the world but only if time is all that matters 
N.B. My sentences do begin with capital letters… So don’t see what the mystery is. I was just referring to the old game Pelmanism. This simple and popular memory game in Japan it is called Shinkei-suijaku. In Britain it is called Pelmanism after Christopher Louis Pelman, who founded the “Pelman Institute for the Scientific Development of Mind, Memory and Personality” in London in 1899.
Players and Cards
Two or more people can play. A standard 52-card pack can be used, or any other kind of cards, provided that the backs are indistinguishable and the faces can be matched up in pairs or quartets.
Preparation
The cards are thoroughly mixed and spread face down and can be arranged in a regular pattern or spread irregularly as desired.
Play
Players take turns to play. At your turn you turn face up two cards of your choice from the layout. If they match, you take these two cards, store them in front of you, and take another turn. If they do not match, you turn them face down, without changing their position in the layout, and it is the next player’s turn.
When playing with an ordinary 52-card pack, cards “match” if they have the same denomination - a six matches a six, a king matches a king and so on. Suits are ignored.
Play continues until all the cards from the layout have been taken as matched pairs.

You appear to have copy-pasted the rules from the internet (no harm in that) without perhaps checking if those rules match with your proposed strategy. Your strategy starts with:
Quickly form a story linking all the objects in the first row and as many as you can in the limited time and start turning …
That is not how the game starts according to those rules; the game starts by a player turning face up two cards. So you don’t have a chance to memorise any cards at all before the turning starts.
I am always interested in ideas but not hair splitting and nit picking -nor wish to waste my most valuable asset time on messaging etc- You should see how many messages i get on social media and my email accounts! As to texting vs prose Lord knows as a senior I too am amazed at how the younger generation mostly Americans enjoy ‘adulterating’ the once richest language in the world. I do like abbreviations however!. (Adult erating There’s an ironic choice of words for you to explain. Maybe I will coin a word that it more ‘nice’ Right now all I can think of is ‘trash talking’
I follow thought leaders/entrepreneurs who say that its better to handle a communication once summarily and move on and not keep regressing. Same with reading I am fascinated to learn to speed read for obvious reasons. However like anything it takes practise and confidence to take in larger chunks to ‘see the wood for trees’ we say. They also say that its better to ‘strike while the iron is hot’ now than wait expecting to somehow get everything perfect. So don’t expect perfection from me only a keenness to learn new ways to ‘skin a cat’ Now I am talking about search for meaning not just detail
So I don’t expect my every utterance to be cross examined for elusive meanings Are you a lawyer or academic you have a sharp mind?. I have to bow to your multi lingual knowledge as I am only proficient in one language the rest is all double Dutch to me. However I like the Dutch as they seem, generally speaking, to have a greater fondness to the Brits than do other countries I could mention. Ultimately it all come back to where do you draw the line in the compromise between accuracy and speed, quality v quantity.
I would say its horses for courses and one needs to decide what outcome you envisage from the exercise and how relevant it will be for future practical tasks I would like to memorise all the main uk telephone codes and postcodes and handy things like that 
Iam 74 so working very hard to stave off dementia so forget about competitions except competing with myself LOL

I have a PhD in Economics, but I don’t work in a university. I have had mostly administrative jobs in logistics.
I’m not sure if this idea would be useful, but it’s a quick way to create a grid of associations, kind of like a 2-dimensional peg list: The tantalizing problem of using "Grid System" - #2 by Josh

Evidently some forum members didn’t appreciate my somewhat combative writing style. Even though I don’t fully agree with all the related comments I have received, I have edited my contribution to this discussion to make it a little bit more friendly.
