# TODO: visual aid of the basics of this technique
|
|
A learning technique that uses familiar environments for better recalling.
|
|
For example, you can use your house as a layout and putting new concepts in it such as the related memory for mathematical formulae (e.g., the formula for an area of a square [\(s^2\)] is remembered as 2 stuffed toys, area of an triangle [\(1/2 * bh\)] as a half-hobo).
|
|
You can then write a crazy narrative with those things — e.g., outside of the house are 2 stuffed toys (area of square) and through the entrance is a half-dressed hobo.
|
|
The core of this technique is learning through overlaying familiar topics with newer concepts.
|
|
|
|
This is effective for memorizing since [[id:9f1f35dd-7cf9-4f47-a9a9-b647e5daa2af][We are more associative than structured]] along with our tendency of [[id:1e135aee-0464-4756-9f55-bbf12afe8254][Chunking]].

|
Memory palaces are one of the more known technique from memory sports.
|
|
Notice how most of them tend to make a lot of effort grouping items together and weaving them with familiar concepts such as their house.
|
|
Another interesting thing with this technique is the test of creativity.
|
|
Going back to the memory sports scene, they usually employ this technique by creating a narrative leaning on crazier side of things.
|
|
This makes it more memorable and easier to write more things on top of the wacky antics.
