Comments
Thanks for this video btw ;)
I think I have a good memory. I used to train her a lot when I had more time.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
I trained my memory when I taught poetry. The video presents very interesting methods that I will definitely try.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Of course I would like to improve, there is no limit to perfection.
I think my memory is quite good but I tend to forget stuff. It depends on what I have to remember about - if it's more or less important. These days there are many mobile apps that "remember" stuff for us. I use a few apps of this kind. I think it is not good for people's because we care less about remembering stuff because the app does it for us. But on the other hand, what is worth noticing is the fact that these days people live in a hurry so there's much more stuff to remember which is not easy. I think I haven't used any of presented techniques but the video was interesting. I'm not sure if I'd like to improve my memory but I'd definitely like it to stay as it is without getting worse.
I've never tried any technique. I heard about the apps that help to improve the memory, but I've also never tried them.
I would love to improve my memory, but I think it's not easy and takes an enormous amount of time. The time that I do not have...
I use sometimes technique mentioned in a video in a way that I try to make something funny from the things that I have to remember. In general I have vivid kind of memory so it’s easier for me to remember things that are visualized in some way.
No, I think that I’m satisfied with the level of my memory at this moment. ;)
2. I often use a technique to create a story to memorize given words. There is also a technique that I used to use, but is not mentioned in this video. There is a technique called Thought Palace - a place in your imagination where you store and manage information. The only downside to this technique is that you have to visit it quite often since the information that you put there tends to "fade" with passing time. I used that technique quite a lot in high school and it is a very efficient way of committing information to memory.
3. Yes. Even though having a good memory is not that important nowadays, I still consider it a useful thing to have a good memory.
I would like to improve my memory but I'm too lazy to do this now but I believe that one day I will do step to improve it but not today :)
Yes, everyone wants to improve. I like the fact that the more I want to know, the more I need to learn. As long as this information is not used on a daily basis, I need more memory to memorize and build associations. Therefore, I use memorization techniques without even realizing it.
Yes it is important, as everyone uses phones and reminders to not forget but to be honest those who remember everything are more organised. Basically, the bigger the memory the more you can remember, the more you can remember the more organised you can be. I think it's very useful and people with better memory have huge advantage over those who haven't as they can for example recall more things and use them when needed.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
I've heard about the apps, and i even tried them they're fun i think, a bit like games and it's a good practice for your brain when you're for example travelling and you're bored.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Yes, i think everyone would. It makes you smarter as you can remember more things so you know more things. Memory enables you learning new stuff and improves your intelligence as well.
2. I haven't used any of the methods in particular but I'm sure I'll give it a go when I have a bit of free time and enough will to not procrastinate.
3. I'd rather improve the quickness or my response and the witt rather than the memory itself. We (humans) have learned ways to immortalise information hence I'd rather learn how to access it immediately rather than being able to remember it without use of paper or any other device.
I have a completely bad memory, and I agree that this is important in all aspects of our life. Information is the key to everything. Memory is the container for these keys.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
I know a method about associations. I use the method in learning new words in Polish and English.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Definitely yes, but it hard. :)
Yes, sometimes I use to remember the order or things with associations it is very helpful. But for now the best thin is just understanding things, not remembering it (help in programing etc)
Maybe, but now I don’t have time for it.
Sometimes I doubt that I have a good memory. I put absolutely unnecessary small details in my head, but from time to time I can be absent-minded or forget the words. Nowadays, we have a lot of helpers for our memory, but this does not mean that we should relax.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
I often think about memory training, but I always find more important things to do. In this video, I learned a lot of new techniques and will certainly try them in practice.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Of course, I would like to have a perfect memory. Maybe even photographic.
- My memory is pretty good at least in my opinion. I remember about most important things I have to do on a daily basis, if I have to do something unusually I add it to my To Do list.
Of course, having a good memory is really important because you cannot rely on your calendar or to do list 24/7.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
- I've heard about this technique using short stories to remember things. I think that it is pretty useful if you have to remember something from history or study to an exam.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
- Definitely, I would like to improve my memory so I could drop the idea of using To Do lists. Also, it would help me a lot on a daily basis.

I think it's really important to have a good memory nowadays. It was really important even in the middle age. Every crusader had to remember how many pagans he has killed during his short live.
In my opinion it's to late for me to use remembering techniques from this video because I'm too old and my dimension is in the last stage. However sometimes I'm trying to improve my memory but I don't remember how I do it.
I think I have good memory, but nowadays memory is a little bit less important than in the past, becouse we currently have samorthpones with calendar and notifications. But of course memory is still very important.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
I used some of them, especially making funny connections with things I have to learn. For me important is not only short time needed to remember something, but also for how long I remember it and some techniques is very good but for short term.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Yes, why not. There is always room for improvement.
Yes, I used some of them. I think that they are quite useful but it doesn't mean that everybody can apply them for their needs. One thing I can totally agree with in video that our brains can remember almost everything we want and we just need to find the way how to use its potential.
Yes, I would like to improve my memory. Maybe I should try the methods mentioned in the video to do it.
I've known about the technique called memory palace. It is simply a place in your imagination where you store and manage your memories. I saw it on TV series called "Mentalist".
I would like to improve my memory by using the memory palace technique.
2. I rather don't practise any techniques of remembering,but sometimes I try to associate the remembering informations with something.
3. I think that always when we could change something with us for better we should do it. So yes I want to improve my memory, that could make for me some actions easier.
I think I have pretty good memory. Of course it is important to have a good memory nowadays. Everyday we consume a big amount of knowledge and we have to store it somewhere. Second thing is - we need to filter those informations and keep the most important ones only.
2. Have you ever used any of remembering techniques from this video and what do you think about them?
No, I have not. I don't have any special remembering techniques, but maybe someday I will give them a try. For now I'm just filtering the informations and focusing on the important ones.
3. Would you like to improve your memory?
Of course, I'm trying not only to improve it all the time, but I'm also trying not to make it worse.
