glutamine I thought of glue so like doing a really mean squat to work on your mean to Lutz glutamine
all right do we have a some more examples yeah take a look yes can we do this one so we can show
you it you know okay didn't want anyone okay so the next we're going to do is like a biochemistry
example um biochemistry is like really great for memory techniques I think yeah because it's very
you know most of the things don't really make sense right it's just like stuff you got to know
and so the example we're going to do is basically the necessary elements or specifically amino acids
that you need to make purines so purine is a type of nucleic acid lucking DNA and you need
certain amino acids to you know to be part of those that that you know so like the ingredient
at ilysm right yeah the ingredients exactly so there's a list basically of important ones that
you need and as far as we can tell right there's no like intuitive way to understand why these
specific ones are there it's just a list that you got to know and they'll ask you about it you know
so this is ripe for memory techniques right yeah so why don't you take the first two the first oh
yeah so there's four aspartate glycine glutamine and THF which is tetrahydrofolate and so when I
saw these you know like like you guys have been saying you're kind of on to think of the first
thing I think of the thing that I feel like it is you know it reminds me of so it sparked a
reminded me of asphalt's kind of has a lot of the same letters so what I did was I honestly
I just used an imaginary house I was kind of walking down this street in our hometown and
I know there's a town house I've obviously never been in the strangers house was a freak another
thing is you know I wasn't running out of palaces but I could just create a palace in my mind it
doesn't have to be a place I've really been so what I did was I went through this house just
fake house that I created in my mind and I put at fault in for aspartate and for glycine I thought
of ice glycine icing glutamine I thought of glue so like doing a really me squat to work on your
mean salutes glutamine and tetrahydrofolate so that's kind of we get a lot of folate and biochem
when we were memorizing them and so I've always thought a full weight as a foal like you know a
baby horse it's there for tetrahydrofolate like we kind of modified them that see I just thought
of like four horses attached to a carriage Totoro as your hyperbola so these are just the ones that
like you to immediately pop to my mind or in the case of tetrahydrofolate I was kind of modifying a
category a pre-existing category yeah now I would you picture all of that like on that imaginary
house like all on one spot yeah like all they get together yeah so the way I did it I went to space
my stuff out a little bit more and so because this is an imaginary house I could pretty much created
exactly the way I wanted to so I just imagine this is a town house so on the front door I imagine a
bunch of a ball just kind of like covering the door couldn't get in and then the front living
room is just full of large ice blocks and then in the bathroom because I mean this is my fake house
that I'm making right there in the bathroom it's just someone doing squat Gloup Gloup mean squat
for a mean glute and then in the kitchen in the back I just imagine this huge carriage with four
horses in them and so you know because it was my favorite actually like one image per locus
one image per locus but it was my pick house right and then it kind of feels like very connected and
melded together yeah and just to take that on we thought it could be interesting you know to show
my images versus Cathy's images and show kind of how they were different you know hopefully that
could be helpful to people so for these same for I think all this all of my images are different
for all of them and so just to start out I the palace that I was using at this time was this
place just just outside this old building on the whole mist campus that we used to we both used to
work in which happens to be a pharmacy building and so there's be the big long steps and so I
imagined basically a shell board kind of little piece you know gliding right down those steps
and then basically there's someone at the top using of glue using like Elmer's glue to try to
get it to come back now but to pull it up with this big stream of glue for those representing
the shuffleboard and it's gliding represents the glycine and then the glue represents glutamine so
that need is obviously different image from Kats different images from Cathy's and then
those are two images that I put on that locus and then I'll move kind of down those steps and
there's this parking lot nearby and over there I just imagine Bart Simpson hitting a tee ball
so there's Bart Simpson for aspartate and then the t-ball hen reminds me of THF and and I use unlike
Kathy I use baseball bats for anything to do with folate and so the t-ball kinda reminds me to th
foal waves of tetrahydrofolate so I've got the you know the glue and the gliding shuffle board
and then aspartate Bart hitting the t-ball THF got it all right so it's okay you know this is to two
great methods of Union you can just space it out put one image or what Association per location or
you can combine them and create like a national story with two or do you ever put more than two
like I'm pretty sure you can possibly like create this this a one story along that that railing or
the stairs where you have all four of them right just like linking back to back to each other so I
mean it's okay to use both at the end of the day I think for people it's like test it out right test
out what method works for you if you're like if you're having a hard time with seeing like let's
say you store four things in one spot and one one locus and you're like man I I'm just having
a hard time recalling say the third thing or the second thing then space it out do what Kathy does
she spaces it out and put one on each location it doesn't have to all we don't all have to use the
same exact method but at the end of the day is just all about using your creativity to come up
with these associations and then the actual method on how to do it just play with it on your own and
see what works best for you because I I get a lot of people asking me so what do you do specifically
for this right this is what I do I have to do it that way I'm like you know test it out if it
works for you great if it doesn't change it up see what works for you what works best for you
