Method of loci

that is through the Method of Loci. This mnemonic strategy assumes that a person can best remember places that they are familiar with. So, if you can link something you need to remember with a place that you know very well, the location will serve as a clue that will help you to remember it. To me this skill will help with so many ways which is why I want to share it with you. All throughout our lives we are forced to know things, memorize things. To help with this all you must do it use the Method of Loci. Imagine a familiar location with familiar objects and a routine you frequently make. A good example of this would be when you wake up in the morning, usually in your own bed and then you go through out your morning routine. Imagine this routine and follow your rout, but while you do so, place the objects or thing you are trying to remember along the way. This is guaranteed to help you remember.…

distinguishes between memory and expertise. Regardless of Twain’s failures that never led to true expertise in memory Foer pursued the same path ways anyway. This ironic however since Twain is widely regarded as an expert in writing and these memory games and tricks were just a way for him to procrastinate his writing of Huckleberry Finn. So for Foer to pursue Twain’s pathway of memory and not his authorial techniques is shortsighted. Or possibly Foer is doing the exact same thing Twain did,…

While it is necessary to delegate different tasks to team members, leaders also possess the responsibility of their team as a whole. While my Robotics team was revising our robot for the VEX Robotics Mid-Atlantic Championships, I made sure to keep track of the team’s progress in the engineering notebook, as well as supervise the work of my fellow team members. At Governor’s School, I will make sure to collaborate and contribute ideas, as well as provide leadership skills such as guidance,…

For Willy, his adventurer / explorer brother, Ben, and his salesman hero, Dave Singleman, are images of success, but the character of Ben is fantastical and the achievements of Dave are idealised and exaggerated. Using these as his benchmarks, Willy can never achieve the success he so desperately craves. Through a series of flashbacks in the play, where we witness Willy's persistent efforts to make the American Dream a reality for himself and his family, Miller launches a scathing attack on the…

John Stewart Mill’s Idea of Utilitarianism – Does it Still Exist Today? J.S Mill is a philosopher from the 1800’s, whose work typically seemed to be on the levels of political philosophy. Growing up, Stewart was hugely influenced by Jeremy Bentham as he was Bentham’s god son.
