Chunking mnemonic memory technique
Chunking is a technique used when remembering numbers, although the idea can be
used for remembering other things as well. It is based on the idea that short-term memory
is limited in the number of things that can be contained. A common rule is that a person
can remember 7 (plus or minus 2) "items" in short-term memory. In other words,
people can remember between 5 and 9 things at one time. You may notice that local
telephone numbers have 7 digits. This is convenient because it is the average amount of
numbers that a person can keep in his or her mind at one time.
When you use "chunking" to remember, you decrease the number of items you are
holding in memory by increasing the size of each item. In remembering the number string
64831996, you could try to remember each number individually, or you could try thinking
about the string as 64 83 19 96 (creating "chunks" of numbers). This breaks the
group into a smaller number of "chunks." Instead of remembering 8 individual
numbers, you are remembering four larger numbers. This is particularly helpful when you
form "chunks" that are meaningful or familiar to you (in this case, the last
four numbers in the series are "1996," which can easily be remembered as one
chunk of information).
Practice your skills with examples in the comfort and privacy of your own
home and at your own pace.
The Memory games refers to a family of science-based memory training These unique and highly interactive memory training programs help
users improve their memory skills by eliminating the three most common reasons
for memory training. Many people who want to improve their memory fail to take
action because most traditional memory training programs are classroom or
seminar-based and typically involve many people.
How to
memorize PI
Memorizing up to 31 digits of Pi can be a great way to impress friends, use
as a party piece, or win bar bets.
One of the simplest ways to memorize Pi is to memorize sentences in which
each word's length represents a digit of Pi. This method can only be used up
to 31 digits after the decimal point, because the 32nd digit after the
decimal point is 0. Here are some classic sentences of this type:
- May I have a large container of coffee?
- Pie
I wish I could recollect pi.
"Eureka!," cried the great inventor.
Christmas pudding, Christmas pie,
is the problem's very center!
- How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy
chapters involving quantum mechanics.
One is, yes, adequate even enough to induce some fun and pleasure for an
instant, miserably brief.
- Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
In mystic force and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can't relate.
Or locate they who can cogitate
And so finally terminate. Finis.
Pi = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971...
The most common type of mnemonic is the word-length mnemonic in which the
number of letters in each word corresponds to a digit. This simple one gives pi
to seven decimal places:
How I wish I could calculate pi.
This longer one, giving fifteen decimal places of pi, is popular with
students:
How I like a drink, alcoholic of course,after the heavy lectures involving
quantum mechanics.
There is the little rhyme to aid the memorisation of twenty-one digits
of pi:
Now, I wish I could recollect pi."Eureka," cried the great inventor.
Christmas Pudding; Christmas Pie
Is the problem`s very center.
And if you feel the need for a device for remembering thirty-one decimal
places of pi, try this rhyme:
Sir, I bear a rhyme excellingIn mystic force, and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can`t relate
Or locate they who can cogitate
And so finally terminate.
Finis.
There is a problem with this type of mnemonic that does not affect the above
examples. It is the question of how to represent the digit zero. Fortunately
a zero does not occur in pi until the thirty-second place. Several people have come
up with ingenious methods of overcoming this, most commonly using a ten-letter word
to represent zero. In other cases a certain piece of punctuation indicates a naught.
There are many stories and poems crafted in this way, and at least one encoding
over 700 digits of pi.
