And in Mashable:

"A lot of people ask me, is there [such a thing as] a photographic memory? And I say no — many people even claim to have it and I say if you have it, come [compete] with me...and they always finish last," she said.

I was curious what system she would have come up with for this? She is able to both “retrieve” by page number and by image description, suggesting some kind of peg system? Any idea how someone could “peg” by description? That was amazing, but again not surprising from someone who holds a world record for image memorization!

Here’s a video where she explains her method for memorizing the catalog

Great. I do the same to memorize my loci. I suppose many others also do something similar.

I watched the videos and almost immediately I bagan to see advertisement of that furniture brand in other websites. :rofl:

If you want to stop the advertisers from following you around, try Firefox + uBlock Origin. The combination works on Android too. :slight_smile:

Edit: for iOS, try Brave. I think Firefox is better on desktop though.
