Developing a super memory?
    #5947162 - 08/09/06 11:43 AM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I want to be able to have a really really good memory.

I've seen people on video be able to remember things like a random order of playing cards or very long numbers, mathematical equations, story's etc.
that seems very handy.

HOW can i develop a memory this good?

About this idea. Would reading lots be a good way of developing super memory? In the past four months I've read about 10 Novels and a number of large documentaries (novels are generally 400-600pages long).

Let's just say I have a very very boring job and the only thing I can do is read...

I think it's becoming a decent way to have a super memory in aspects of knowledge. But here's a question? How you you develop a super photographic memory? Or both? I'd be interested in that, but then again I live in my past too much, I probably shouldn't figure out a way to do that. :P

i don't think it matters if you smoke weed or not.

as long as i'm not high at the time, (and even that has a negligble effect) i seem to be able to remember some pretty detailed and complex things like long conversations verbatim, stories, news articles, and really long orders at the restaurant i work at. practice definately helps build this skill, but i think i may have been born this way.

I read all the time, but my memmory is pretty terrible. I also smoke weed and drink booze, which I'm sure don't help.

I think it's more of a matter of having a photographic memory more than having a GOOD memory... i mean those people can prolly remember big long numbers and stuf and the order of cards but for how long? In anycase i don't think a hptographic or good memory is something you can develop, you either have it or don't

another cool thing to develop would be speed reading.

Imagine being able to read a whole book quickly AND remember what it was all about

Do lots of puzzles.

Not crosswords and shit .. I mean hard puzzles and mathematical puzzles.
Do it for an hour a day for a week, and by the end you'll notice you'll be able to remember more, and do math etc a lot quicker.

I do this sorta thing a few weeks before I need to get revising for exams and it definately helps :smile:

Well as I see it now their are only two effectve ways to get a really really good memory.

Be born an autistic savant like:

Quote:

Kim Peek

According to Peek's father, Fran, Peek was able to memorize things from the age of 16-20 months. He read books, memorized them and then placed them upside down on the shelf to show that he had finished reading them, a practice he still maintains. He reads a page of text in about 10 seconds (about a book per hour) and, apparently, remembers everything he has read, memorizing vast amounts of information in subjects ranging from history and literature, geography and numbers, to sports, music and dates. He can recall some 12,000 books from memory. Peek can also do formidable calculations in his head, a skill that serves him well in his day job, where he prepares payroll worksheets. He has worked at a day workshop for adults with disabilities since 1969.

Although never a musical prodigy, Peek's musical abilities as an adult are receiving more notice now that he has started to study the piano. He apparently remembers music he heard decades ago and can play it on the piano, to the extent permitted by his limited physical dexterity. He is able to give running spoken commentary on the music as he plays, comparing a piece of music, for example, to other music he has heard. In listening to recordings he can distinguish which instruments play which part and is adept at guessing the composers of new music by comparing the music to the many thousands of music samples in his memory.





Or have very precise seizures and be like


Quote:

Daniel Tammet

One afternoon when he was four, an accident changed the way Daniel thought forever. While playing with his brother in the living room he suffered a series of epileptic seizures which transformed his brain chemistry, giving him the gift of synaesthesia. Daniel began to respond emotionally to numbers, which he started to ‘see’ as complex, beautiful shapes and textures.
Tammet holds the European record for remembering and recounting pi, recounting it to its 22,514th digit in just over 5 hours.
Tammet claims he can learn a new language within a week. For the documentary film about him, Tammet was challenged to learn Icelandic. Within seven days he was conversing well enough in Icelandic to undergo a live television interview about his skills, and chat freely with the hosts.
He is fortunate in that, while he possesses many of the capabilities associated with autism, he has no trouble relating to others; he is a charming and incredibly self-aware young man.

I read a magazine article on this awhile ago, but I can't remember it all...

Two things you can do are to play with a deck of cards while doing something else, and sitting on an exercise ball while watching TV.

You just have to practice and know the shortcuts. Look up the world championships of memorization. Its all average people who just practice all the time. Its really just a worthless parlor trick.

I watch the History & Discovery channels a lot and they play a show about that kind of stuff.. that guy that had the seizure was on it and so was Raymond _____(Rain Man). Rain man reads the left page of a book w/ his left eye and the right w/ his right... at the same time... people like that are pretty interesting.
