hello everybody so actually this was

hello everybody so actually this was intended to be on the big screen so my

intended to be on the big screen so my

intended to be on the big screen so my goal will now be to memorize twenty four

goal will now be to memorize twenty four

goal will now be to memorize twenty four digits as the start of my speech and

digits as the start of my speech and

digits as the start of my speech and here’s a random number generator so it

here’s a random number generator so it

here’s a random number generator so it will start now and when I say start it

will start now and when I say start it

will start now and when I say start it starts and stop

okay um what I was just doing there were

okay um what I was just doing there were twenty four digits visible on the small

twenty four digits visible on the small

twenty four digits visible on the small laptop and I just memorized them so you

laptop and I just memorized them so you

laptop and I just memorized them so you just have to believe me that there were

just have to believe me that there were

just have to believe me that there were twenty four digits better but I’m gonna

twenty four digits better but I’m gonna

twenty four digits better but I’m gonna write them sorry and what what will now

write them sorry and what what will now

write them sorry and what what will now happen I turned to the audience and I

happen I turned to the audience and I

happen I turned to the audience and I hope that now i’m i will announce digit

hope that now i’m i will announce digit

hope that now i’m i will announce digit by digit each digit will appear on the

by digit each digit will appear on the

by digit each digit will appear on the screen so we would start now with five

screen so we would start now with five

screen so we would start now with five one nine eight four nine nine six six

one nine eight four nine nine six six

one nine eight four nine nine six six eight seven two two eight five seven two

eight seven two two eight five seven two

eight seven two two eight five seven two four seven five two one zero three so i

four seven five two one zero three so i

four seven five two one zero three so i hope you noticed okay oh okay

memory is central to who we are but

memory is central to who we are but independent of what you just saw our

independent of what you just saw our

independent of what you just saw our memory is very limited and I also want

memory is very limited and I also want

memory is very limited and I also want to test you now I know will show you 15

to test you now I know will show you 15

to test you now I know will show you 15 words you will have 20 seconds to

words you will have 20 seconds to

words you will have 20 seconds to memorize them

memorize them

memorize them please try as hard as you can as if it

please try as hard as you can as if it

please try as hard as you can as if it would be an exam and after those 20

would be an exam and after those 20

would be an exam and after those 20 seconds we will see it’s time startsnow

seconds we will see it’s time startsnow

seconds we will see it’s time startsnow try as hard as you can you still have 10

try as hard as you can you still have 10

try as hard as you can you still have 10 seconds look at all the words however

seconds look at all the words however

seconds look at all the words however you want five seconds three and times

you want five seconds three and times

you want five seconds three and times over and now see how much you can

over and now see how much you can

over and now see how much you can remember really try to find all of the

remember really try to find all of the

remember really try to find all of the words in your head go from one to the

words in your head go from one to the

words in your head go from one to the other

other

other and what I can tell you is that some

and what I can tell you is that some

and what I can tell you is that some words might come easily some might take

words might come easily some might take

words might come easily some might take some time and some might not come at all

some time and some might not come at all

some time and some might not come at all it’s what it might it might feel like

it’s what it might it might feel like

it’s what it might it might feel like that you might get seven eight or nine

that you might get seven eight or nine

that you might get seven eight or nine words but there are still some words who

words but there are still some words who

words but there are still some words who are out of reach but you cannot grasp

are out of reach but you cannot grasp

are out of reach but you cannot grasp and I did this to illustrate that that’s

and I did this to illustrate that that’s

and I did this to illustrate that that’s an effect that you get in school and

an effect that you get in school and

an effect that you get in school and university in your job and daily life

university in your job and daily life

university in your job and daily life but there is still too much information

but there is still too much information

but there is still too much information that feeling that you have learned

that feeling that you have learned

that feeling that you have learned something and that it is simply not

something and that it is simply not

something and that it is simply not really accessible to you that you need

really accessible to you that you need

really accessible to you that you need it but you can’t access it and that is

it but you can’t access it and that is

it but you can’t access it and that is something that I think is stress that

something that I think is stress that

something that I think is stress that the feeling that we have to learn more

the feeling that we have to learn more

the feeling that we have to learn more than we really can and in addition to

than we really can and in addition to

than we really can and in addition to that and it has been proven that when we

that and it has been proven that when we

that and it has been proven that when we learn something in a natural way that

learn something in a natural way that

learn something in a natural way that after one day about 70% of it is not

after one day about 70% of it is not

after one day about 70% of it is not accessible anymore why is that the case

accessible anymore why is that the case

accessible anymore why is that the case because the brain is very good at

because the brain is very good at

because the brain is very good at creating associations but those are not

creating associations but those are not

creating associations but those are not stable after one day many of those are

stable after one day many of those are

stable after one day many of those are lost and used and you and you only got

lost and used and you and you only got

lost and used and you and you only got the main points of what you wanted to

the main points of what you wanted to

the main points of what you wanted to remember a bit like headlines or bullet

remember a bit like headlines or bullet

remember a bit like headlines or bullet points and that’s often not enough so

points and that’s often not enough so

points and that’s often not enough so what can you do you can use notes but

what can you do you can use notes but

what can you do you can use notes but then if you use notes you often

then if you use notes you often

then if you use notes you often what consult them and people would see

what consult them and people would see

what consult them and people would see that it’s not very convincing but you

that it’s not very convincing but you

that it’s not very convincing but you need something to aid your memory and I

need something to aid your memory and I

need something to aid your memory and I think that we can do better so and I

dating memory because I think that does

dating memory because I think that does not exist what I did there was I used

not exist what I did there was I used

not exist what I did there was I used something called the method of loci I

something called the method of loci I

something called the method of loci I used a number of locations and effects

used a number of locations and effects

used a number of locations and effects sequence and put the information on the

sequence and put the information on the

sequence and put the information on the location it is a method that has been

location it is a method that has been

Romans and Greeks and also by monks in the Middle Ages and the modern times it

the Middle Ages and the modern times it

the Middle Ages and the modern times it has even become a sport people are

has even become a sport people are

has even become a sport people are sitting there and memorizing vast

sitting there and memorizing vast

sitting there and memorizing vast numbers of names words and faces and in

numbers of names words and faces and in

very happy that I still hold one world record but I think the very important

record but I think the very important

record but I think the very important question is why does this work and it

question is why does this work and it

question is why does this work and it works because at the brain and thus the

works because at the brain and thus the

works because at the brain and thus the mind a hard-wired to connect information

mind a hard-wired to connect information

mind a hard-wired to connect information with places this has been shown in a

with places this has been shown in a

with places this has been shown in a number of studies and also makes sense

number of studies and also makes sense

number of studies and also makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint if you

from an evolutionary standpoint if you

from an evolutionary standpoint if you know where to get food and where the

know where to get food and where the

know where to get food and where the dangerous then you have a survival edge

dangerous then you have a survival edge

dangerous then you have a survival edge and I can also show you how this works

and I can also show you how this works

and I can also show you how this works in your own life

in your own life

in your own life think of your last vacation think of the

think of your last vacation think of the

think of your last vacation think of the hotel at the dining hall and think of a

hotel at the dining hall and think of a

hotel at the dining hall and think of a table at ubirr city and you will notice

table at ubirr city and you will notice

table at ubirr city and you will notice that one of the other memories will

that one of the other memories will

that one of the other memories will start to be much memories perhaps at a

also have memorized these two sentences easily without any memory aids sure but

easily without any memory aids sure but

easily without any memory aids sure but there has never been a speech that only

there has never been a speech that only

there has never been a speech that only had two sentences more like 200 and if

had two sentences more like 200 and if

had two sentences more like 200 and if you look at this it might be clear that

you look at this it might be clear that

you look at this it might be clear that it becomes a bit more difficult and this

it becomes a bit more difficult and this

it becomes a bit more difficult and this might only be the first part here you

have 30 words and not 15 and you saw that you already struggled a bit with 15

that you already struggled a bit with 15

that you already struggled a bit with 15 words but the great thing is if you use

words but the great thing is if you use

words but the great thing is if you use locations it doesn’t really matter if

you put things on locations usually more

you put things on locations usually more than 90% will be there the next day also
