As a kid, I was interested in topics like memory and learning. Actually, I was a kid with a wide range of interests. I would like to share with you the technique I learned in a children's magazine. Thanks to this technique, you can remember a list of 20 words either in order or by number. First of all, you need to memorize the 20 words I will give you. This is not too difficult. You will understand soon. 😉
1) Pen, Candle
2) Swan,
3) Clover,
4) Chair,
5) Hand or Star,
6) Elephant trunk,
7) Flag,
8) Hourglass,
9) Balloon and wand,
10) Baseball bat and ball or or fork, knife and plate,
11) Ladder,
12) 1 dozen eggs,
The list I used as a kid is above. At that time, I tried to improve this number to 20 myself. This system is called "Number Shape Peg System", according to what I researched on the Internet.
Different pictures are used, but there are many different models in shapes. The important thing here is that the numbers remind you of the object. I will add a word list and source links to the article that can be used according to this system.
However, first try up to 12 as I gave above. I'm sure if you are curious and open to learning, you can even create a list of 100 words that you can remember.
If you disagree with one of the objects in the picture, you can use another object that remembers that number.
If everything is okay so far, that is, if you remember the object, the figure, which is randomly and sequentially associated with numbers such as the number 5, the number 8, etc. 👍
Fish,
Ice cream,
Coffee,
Hat,
Typewriter,
Napkin,
Door,
Bus,
Rhino,
Glasses,
Book,
Bird.
Now let's learn how to memorize the 12 random words above.
We connect the next words with the words you memorized first, that I shared with you. The first word we need to memorize is "Fish". Our reference word for 1 is "Pen". In order for the number 1 to remind us of Fish, we are visualizing a story about our reference word "Pen".
For example, imagine the fish writing poetry. It doesn't matter if the story is absurd, the more absurd the story is, the better. 😁 Or our fish is in love and writes a love letter to her lover with her favorite pen.
2. Our word is "Ice Cream". You will remember our 2 associated reference words "Swan". Let's start our story now. While touring the lake with our beloved swan family on a hot summer day, our cute swan cubs go to the place that makes the best ice cream of the lake. Swans grasp the ice creams with their wings and continue their journey in the lake with pleasure. Our story doesn't have to be that long. Just imagine an interesting visual that you can remember.
Our third word is "Coffee". Our reference word is "Clover". Just imagine a clover in a cup of coffee.
Let's create an image about the chair with the 4th word "Hat" and our recerans word. Just imagining a hat on the chair is enough to remind us that the 4th word is hat.
5. Imagine or a hand writing on a typewriter. Or imagine a typewriter writing on a hand-shaped piece of paper.
Let's create a story to connect our 6th word "Napkin" with our 6th reference word "Elephant Trunk". For example, the elephant is holding a napkin with its trunk. Or you can imagine an elephant handing a napkin to his human friend who has a cold.
The 7th word we want to memorize is "Door". Imagine a door with a picture of each country's flag on it. In this way, thanks to the image we have created in connection with the "Flag", the number 7, which is our reference object, we will first remember the flag and then the "Gate" because the flags on the door evoke.
Our 8th word is "Bus" and our reference word is "Hourglass. A man waiting at the bus stop looks at the hourglass on his arm.
A rhino is handing a balloon to a child. Our 9th reference word is a Balloon and wand. The 9th word we want to memorize is "Rhinoceros". Creating a story is very simple and fast.
Our 10th word is "Glasses". Our baseball player gets distracted and misses the ball because his glasses fell off. Or we can create a story about our other reference word "knife and plate". What is important here is the reference word and story combination that you remember best.
The word "Book" we want to memorize with the 11th reference word "Ladder". Visualize a ladder in the library.
Our 12th reference word is "1 dozen eggs". We want to memorize the word "bird". Imagine the birds laying eggs while flying and filling the 12-egg box.
Try to remember now. 8.What is our word? First of all, let's remember our reference word, hourglass. In our story where a man looks at the hourglass on his arm at the "Bus" stop, we sometimes make mistakes when we remember the word we want to remember. In our story, there is a man with an hourglass on his arm at the bus stop. Is the word "Bus", "Bus stop" or "Man" we want to remember? In this case, paying attention to the word we want to remember in the story we set up, a plain story will prevent confusion.
Now try to remember from 1 to 12.
Now try to memorize the 12 words below. What you will do is create a story related to the reference words. A simple, plain and easy-to-remember story is the most appropriate.
1) Television,
2) Socks,
3) Fan,
4) Penguin,
5) Glass,
6) Tree,
7) Perfume,
8) Stone,
9) Necklace,
10) Rug,
11) Cat,
12) Umbrella.
When you grasp the logic of the subject, you can definitely do it. You can make mistakes. However, once you see where you went wrong, you can fix it.
You can even teach your children after learning this and help them have stronger memories and more self-confidence. Establishing a mental connection between objects and visualization work in every aspect of our lives.
It is also possible to remember 20 or even more words. I could not find pictures of all of them, but the list below will be useful for you. If you research "The Shaper System" or "shape peg system", you can get much more information. Below is an extensive list of numbers to reference.
