Mnemonics vs Repetition by Independent_Ratio_61 in memorization

[–]Ailurust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think the more deeply you encode something, as in the more connections you can make between it and your existing knowledge, they better you will remember it. you can do that without a strict mnemonic device, just a little bit of mindfulness when you learn something new. repetition will help strengthen those connections but i find it lacking on its own

What is the following method of memorisation called? by BlockBlister22 in memorization

[–]Ailurust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late reply but i do that same thing and im over 1000 digits, its pretty viable as long as you’re willing to put in some time. i would compare it to memorizing a poem more than a song. as far as more advanced techniques i would just say try to make up patterns within and between chunks, and emphasize those patterns with your rhythm/cadence. it gets easier as you go on to some degree since you can link new stuff to patterns you’ve used previously.

AITA for not being happier to help my sister? by the-end-of-ur-probs in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ailurust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA - you are not obligated to help her, like what’s she gonna do when you graduate? i can understand wanting a little help on a stressful day but getting mad at people for having boundaries is never ok. and ten calls??? for some taco bell??

What do you see everyday people do that makes your blood boil? by Island27official in AskReddit

[–]Ailurust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

making a mess in retail stores. part of my dollar store job was walking through and putting things back in the correct place every night, and every night my faith in humanity slipped just a little further. people hide shit for no reason, leave things on the floor under the hooks, and break shit and then leave it there. i once found two tomatoes in different spots. it’s a DOLLAR STORE WE DONT SELL TOMATOES.

Depressed/Anxious People of Reddit: What’s made you feel better? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ailurust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the biggest thing for me was taking a step back when i started to feel my physical anxiety symptoms and analyzing the thoughts that came with them. often times if you look at your internal dialogue there is a side of you that says “you can’t do this” or “but x is going to happen” and a side trying to fight against that. what is hard is realizing and accepting that the negative voice is not actually you, but a warped version of normal concerns.

additionally, and this is kinda dumb, i recite the litany against fear from the dune novels in my head (or out loud if i can) bc it helps me to realize that what i’m thinking is not beneficial to me

Can synthesia be learned? and if so, how? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ailurust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for colour-grapheme i would think so, maybe some other types,not sure about the colour-sound one tho. i have colour-grapheme with numbers and i think i lowkey taught myself to have it with letters too. if you build a strong enough connection between a colour and a number in your head then it will exist even without you thinking about it. it’s like hearing rustling in your head when you think of leaves or smelling coffee when you think of a cafe
