hey guys this is Ron White from the National Geographic show brain games on
the History Channel show Stan Lee's superhumans
have you ever wondered what the Sherlock Holmes mind palaces
have you ever heard of a mind palace while my show you what it is
and how to use it to memorize anything freakishly fast
is a crazy cool skill check this out on
this
I so what is all mind palace will first law few things
number one it's not just the work of fiction it's an
actual real thing and it was not admitted by Sherlock Holmes
number two it actually dates back about twenty five hundred years to 477 BC was
invented by a man named Simonedes
in Greece a mind palace is essentially a room or a building that you have
memorized and you use the
locations in that room to store data let me give me an example
your your friends house you take off your jacket when you walk in the door
and then you set your jacket down and chair you go throughout the party spend
time at your friends house that day and in 3-4 hours when it comes time to leave
you know exactly you need to go back to that chair
to get your coat why because the chair hell that
coat in your brain and that is exactly what I'm I'm palaces
if your friend had two or three or four five pieces the furniture one you could
put
I had and one you can put your keys as you could in theory go back to each one
of those locations and pick up the items that you left
the Mind Palace works the same way you memorize locations in a room
and then you later go back to those locations to retrieve the data that you
want to remember
the easiest way to build your very own mind palace
is to stand in the doorway every room of your house
standard or away start the left go around the room clockwise and pick five
pieces of furniture
number them one to 3 core
5 then go to the next room stand in the doorway in that room
and label them 67 a 9 and 10
go to the next room 11 12 13 14 15
and every single room in your house picked five pieces of furniture
and number them going around the room clockwise a few rules are from here
make big items don't pick small items and number to spread 'em at around the
room
good items to pick will be things like deaths are better TV to refrigerators
stoves
or microwaves are sinks are bookshelves are computers
pic a lot different items but if you use a chair in one room
don't use it sure
and the next these locations are going to be places where you at a mentally
store data
in your mind house now what you have these locations in your room number
that I watch it close your eyes and i watch the sale all your files
1 all the way up to twenty or thirty have many have and then backwards 32.1%
same forwards and backwards over and over again and tell you know them cold
or and tell somebody gets a what was number 10 and you could say what it was
just like that
next a common objection to this is a sometimes people say wow Ron this is too
much work
are you really want me to number all these pieces the furniture
in my house and memorize all these pieces the furniture just to memorize
allister words are are something else that's not really true
you already have these locations memorized am not asking you to memorize
your house
you already have it memorized I'm just asking you to number and what you have
it number
it's gonna be a crazy cool skill the gym you use to memorize anything you want
now
let me give you an example how you use this to memorize something
let's say that you want to memorize a list two words on that list words number
eight was a dog
well you already determined watcher a profile is maybe it was your better your
dresser or desk for a computer
let's say it was a computer if number eight is your computer
and I give you the word dog to memorize you visualize a dog
on your computer the dogs by from the computer the dog barking at the puter
the dogs run around the computer the more action emotion you see
the better then I fake number nice water and let's say that
your number nine piece of furniture is a chair we see that sharing your brain and
you imagine water pouring into the sky
the water goes all over that chair then later when you want to recall the data
you go back around your mind palace and on the number eight spot the computer
you see a dog so you know the word was a dog
on the number nine spot a chair you see water
so you know that number nine was water you always use
every file in chronological order and what I mean by that
this if I say number 8
is a dog and you think all my number
13 piece of furniture is the mat where my dog sleeps I was going to match in my
dog where a number thirteen
you don't do that you put the dog in the mind powers in the
or that it falls it was the first word you put on the first piece of furniture
if the third world people on the third piece of furniture if the aight word
you put on the eight piece of furniture you put in the order that it falls not
where it makes sense in your house and that's important
