Title: Textbook Memothechnias. Jordano memorization system.

Welcome to the memorization system "Jordano", created in 1990. This is the most advanced and most practical memorization system. It was specially designed to effectively memorize the information most common in everyday life and in the process of learning various disciplines. Unlike other memorization systems, the Jordan system is free from unnecessary and impractical techniques.

"Jordano" is a crown of perennial systematic developments. Its practical framework is the principles of classical mpm and elements of the memorization system of Jordano Bruno. Theoretical basis is an original model of memory, developed on the basis of modern ideas about the quasigalographic nature of the brain.
Memorization techniques that exist in different systems and schools in memory of the world were systematized, refined and combined into one holistic system, in order to satisfy three of the main criteria: simplicity, versatility and efficiency.
"Easy" means that memorization methods are easy to master and "transparent" to understand the principle of their action. Under the "universality" is meant that the system allows you to remember almost any information. And "Efficiency" guarantees you complete control over the process of memorizing and preserving information in the brain.

1.1 Memorization System "Jordano"

Memorization techniques that exist in different systems and schools in memory of the world were systematized, refined and combined into one holistic system, in order to satisfy three of the main criteria: simplicity, versatility and efficiency.

"Easy" means that memorization methods are easy to master and "transparent" to understand the principle of their action. Under the "universality" is meant that the system allows you to remember almost any information. And "Efficiency" guarantees you complete control over the process of memorizing and preserving information in the brain.

The Jordanian system is directed primarily to memorize logically related information, which, in particular, are: telephone numbers and addresses, surnames and names, accurate dates and geographical names, jokes and encyclopedic information, texts, lectures and reports. However, the system allows you to effectively memorize and logically associated information: chains of words, numbers, cards, letters.

Most people do not understand that memorization techniques are only a small part of what needs to be known to effectively memorize. Of great importance are: the formation of memorization skill, achieved by consistently working out each individual reception, performing additional psychotechnical exercises aimed at the development of visual thinking and sustainability of attention, careful control of nutrition, on which not only brain performance depends, but also human health in general.

There is a persistent misconception that, engaged in metering engineering, you can easily overload your brain information. The spread of this opinion was facilitated by the book A.R. Luria "Little Book of Greater Memory", where then another psychologist described the possibilities of Memonic Shereeshevsky's memory. That allegedly complained about constant headaches. It is now difficult to judge, from what the head of Sherosevsky was sick. But it is quite definitely possible to say that the brain is almost impossible to overload with information, as the information appears in your brain only at the time of her remember. Up to this point in the information in the brain is not.

Memorization system "Jordano"

Welcome to the memorization system "Jordano", created in 1990. This is the most advanced and most practical memorization system. It was specially designed to effectively memorize the information most common in everyday life and in the process of learning various disciplines. Unlike other memorization systems, the system "Jordano" is free from unnecessary and impractical techniques

There is a persistent misconception that, engaged in metering engineering, you can easily overload your brain information. The spread of this opinion was facilitated by the book A.R. Luria "Little Book of Greater Memory", where then another psychologist described the possibilities of Memonic Shereeshevsky's memory. He allegedly complained about constant headaches. It is now difficult to judge from what Shereeshevsky's head was sick. But it is quite definitely possible to say that the brain is almost impossible to overload with information, as the information appears in your brain only at the time of her remember. Up to this point in the information in the brain is not.

Specific system elements

Scientific validity

Not knowing the brain fixation mechanism cannot be created an effective memorization system. In the Jordano system, a description of memory mechanisms is given. Two mechanisms for fixing the communications brain, which are called: "Electrical Memory" and "Reflex Memory".

The mechanism of understanding textual and speech information is described and is given. simple scheme Work of recreation imagination.

The basis of human mental processes is considered visual (figurative) thinking. This is considered as a means of communication intended for the "withdrawal" of information from the brain and transfer it to another brain. The use of speech thinking (internal speaking) is not recommended due to the fact that there are often false relationships leading to incorrect conclusions in automatic speech structures. Speech thinking slow and "slows down" memorization.

The concept of "accurate" or "sign" information is introduced, which is not specifically allocated by academic psychology.

The brain reaction is explained for different types of information: why some information is not automatically remembered, and others "don't want to remember.

Philosophical aspects

The word "logic" specifically sees. Any connection created by the brain is automatically or created by you consciously is considered logical.

Specific interpretation of the concept of "information" is given. Information "For a person" and information "for the brain" stands out. In the general sense, the infinite variety of combinations of repeating elements, whose amount is limited.

The concept of "meaning of memorization" is explained. Meaning of memorization is a sequential connection of elements of separate information.

An interpretation of the word "understanding" is given. Under the "understanding" implies a representation in the imagination of a group of spatially organized visual images.

Memorization system

Memorization techniques are systematized and unified. A combination of a limited set of receptions is remembered by any information. From receptions, both from bricks, various methods are built (sequences of receptions) and different memorization techniques.

The entire memorization process is divided into four stages:

Encoding information elements in visual images;

Actually the memorization process itself;

Memorizing the sequence of information;

Fastening information in the brain.

Memorization techniques are systematized for these four stages.

The concept of the association is introduced as groups of images in which information is encoded. In the Jordano system, the concept of "Association" differs from the concept of "connection of images".

The main thought operation is clearly indicated, which leads to the conscious inclusion of the "Memory" process is the operation "Connection of images".

Marked two possible method Memorify the sequence of information.

Shaped codes as high-speed tools are widely used.

The coding system of numbers in the image is based on the following alphanumeric code: 1-GJ, 2-DT, 3-kH, 4-CHH, 5-PB, 6-shn, 7-SZ, 8-VF, 9-RC, 0 -Hm. Developed and given in the form of a reference book shaped codes of two-digit numbers and shaped codes of three-digit numbers.

The compilation of phrases, offers and stories in the Jordano system does not apply.

In this system, it is believed that emotions have nothing to do with memorization and only interfere with memorization.

To build systems of auxiliary supporting images (Loki), combinations of ten different sequence memorization methods are used.

Text information is not remembered not literally, but very close to the text, with the preservation of the sequence of paragraphs and all accurate information of paragraphs. The texts are remembered on the principle of "parts to the whole". The more in the text of the accurate information, the more accurately it can be remembered. Most convenient to memorize the texts of humanitarian disciplines.

The literal memorization of texts in an unfamiliar language is not considered this system.

The memorization of poems is not considered, as it is believed that the creation of a poem is, it is, albeit a complex, but mnemonic reception of the verbal memorization of prose.

The concept of "memorization skill" as the dynamics of visual thinking and attention processes is introduced. A computer test is developed to test the memorization skill. The test allows you to compare the skill of memorizing different people with a significant variation of speed parameters, volume and error. The memorization skill is displayed as a "coefficient of increasing memorization ability" compared with the norm (person not trained memorization technique).

Methods of "Closing" information to the reflex level of remember are substantiated and developed. In such a questioning need: foreign words, new alphabet, shaped codes. The method of checking the reflex memorization is entered.

A student value of the sampled codes is introduced - 6 seconds to memorize one element. This makes it easy to calculate the regulatory time to memorize different types of information. So, to memorize the phone number, the student who passed the course of study is given to 24 seconds.

Under the scope of remembered information in the Jordano system, the amount of information memorized "in one breath" is understood, without interruption, without the possibility of repeated perception of elements, and followed by homogeneous interference (distracting task containing elements of remembered information).

Opportunities of the system "Jordano"

The system allows you to accumulate hundreds and thousands of individual information messages in the brain (individual telephone numbers, historical dates, terms and their interpretation, etc.), with the possibility of both consistent and instant selective recall. The system allows you to quickly find in the brain information containing the same items. For example, all dates relating to one number.

The speed of memorizing information depends on the degree of training of each individual and from the complexity of the information itself. When memorizing the shaped codes (fixed images on double-digit numbers), the average speed of 3 seconds per two-digit number is easily achieved with a short training. This means that the remembrance time of 100 double digits will be 5 minutes. Student standards for memorization of 100 double digits - 10 minutes (6 seconds per visual image).

Memories memories are stamped automatically after a while. When using special receptions for consolidating information, it is possible to adjust the time to save it in the brain - from 1 hour to life conservation.

There is a possibility of overwriting information in the brain (replacement of phone numbers, overwrite the timetable elements).

Information brought to the reflex does not need to be repetitive and saved for life.

The method of accumulation in the brain of a large number of phrases (including in a foreign language) is considered (including in a foreign language), and bring them to automatism. However, this is based on visual images and takes a certain time to memorize and consolidate.

Restrictions of the system "Jordano"

The amount of memorable information is limited:

The number of auxiliary reference images (previously donated);

The speed of memorizing a particular person;

Fatigue, inevitably arising in the process of memorization;

The need to fix and repeat previously memorized information.

The speed memorization is possible only if the generated codes are learned on elements of memorable information. The speed of memorization of any other information is significantly lower due to the need for detailed coding in the image.

All memorization in the Jordan system is based on thinking operations with visual images in imagination. People who do not like it (or fail) makes sense to take advantage of other memorizing systems that do not use active visual thinking to memorize.

Study of the memorization system

Initially, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the theoretical issues of memory psychology and common principles Memorifying in this system.

Further, a fairly boring stage of working out individual methods and methods of memorization and the formation of the skill of memorizing the logical non-related information (sequence, words, numbers, locomotions) is followed.

In parallel with this, the process of formation in the brain of the branched system of reference images and system of shaped codes on frequently repeated elements (double-digit and three-digit numbers, names of months, days of the week, names).

Employees of memorization of different types of information (phones, dates, accurate dates, surnames and names, terms and interpretations, foreign words, etc.) are studied. Although memorization techniques have one common universal principle, memorizing each type of information has its own specifics.

In parallel with this, regular workouts in your free time should be carried out, working out memorization of memorization on the street, in the store, at work, at school or institute.

Then follows the stage of specialization. You can choose the type of information you need and train hard at remembering this information. At the same time, special exercises must be performed, depending on the type of memorable information and on their volume.

In conclusion, you can go to the application of the Jordan system to memorize complex educational information, such as the abstracts of textbooks, the main provisions readable books, lectures, reports. Here mnemotechnics smoothly goes into rhetoric (spectacular art) and connects you with other areas of psychology.

Up to this point in the information in the brain is not.

Fatigue arising from a person in the process of mental classes is not connected with memory overload, but with the common fatening of the body. Since maintaining attention to performing any action requires a certain voltage and energy costs.

Here mnemotechnics smoothly goes into rhetoric (spectacular art) and connects you with other areas of psychology.

Memory mechanisms are universal. They allow you to understand not only the principles of memorization. With their help, you can justify and deeper to understand such sections of practical psychology as hypnosis, NLP, psychology of thinking, formation and personality changes. Memory mechanisms throw bridge and parapsychology. Some phenomena from this discipline are easily implemented using mnemonic techniques.
What is mnemotechnics?
The words "mnemonics" and "mnemonics" denote the same thing - memorization technique. They originate from the Greek "Mnemonikon" - the art of memorization. It is believed that this word came up with Pythahor Samos (6 century BC).

The mind of the memorization is called the word "Mnemonikon" by the name of the ancient Greek goddess of memory of Monsin - Mother of Nine Muses.

The first surviving work on mnemonotechnics is dating about 86-82. BC, and belong to Peru Cicero and Quintilian (see the heading "History mnemonics").

The modern encyclopedic dictionary gives the following definitions of mnemonics.

Mnemonica is the art of memorization, a set of techniques and methods that facilitate memorization and increasing the amount of memory by forming artificial associations.

Mnemotechnics: 1) The same as mnemonics; 2) Circus and pop room based on memorization art ("guessing" numbers, objects, dates and names). Performed by two artists using a specially designed code.

You can give the third definition of mpm, which most accurately displays modern mnemotechnics.

Mnemotechnics is an internal letter system that allows you to consistently record information transformed into a combination of visual images.

Mnemotechnics uses natural brain memory mechanisms and allows you to fully control the memorization process, saving and recalling information.

Initially, mnemotechnics arose as an integral part of rhetoric (oratory) and was intended to memorize long speeches. Modern mnemotechnics have been significantly advanced both in theoretical and technical plan and makes it possible not only to fix the sequence of text material, but also allows you to unmistakably remember any accurate information that is traditionally considered unmatched: phone numbers lists, chronological tables, a variety of numerical tables, Questionnaire data, complex learning texts containing a large number of terminology and numeric information, etc.

Mastering metering is mastering the instrumental skill. Training mnemotechnics can be compared with teaching machinery, stenograph. Obviously, exercises must be performed to form skill. Without exercises, it is impossible to master the mnemonics. After the formation of the memorization skill, a person can use this skill, and may not use. The information itself will not be remembered by itself. To memorize each time you will have to use the formed memorization skill - a sequence of certain thinking actions leading to the fixation of information in the brain.

Memory quality, which gives mnemotechnics, can be compared with moving through folders in the computer. But, unfortunately, in each "mnemonic daddy" it may not be written not so much information - from one to several tens of phone numbers, for example. Stasy information can be reproduced both in direct and in reverse order, as well as selectively, without the existing information available in the memory.

The duration of saving information in memory is fully controlled. You can remember the information of just one hour, and you can save for life. The memorized information can be consciously erased from their brain, by memorizing on their places of new information.

If earlier psychologists tried to compare the memory of a person with the memory of technical devices, it is recently observed completely opposite. The creators of modern computers and software draw their ideas from neurophysiology textbooks. As a result, computers become smarter and smarter. A bright example of this process can serve a well-known FineReader text recognition program, which includes the principles of the visual analyzer system.

It is possible to make a forecast that in the very near future neuroprograms that simulate the associative memory of a person will be created, on the basis of which computers will have an unlimited capacity capacity and learn to think. Because the mechanisms of associative memory are simultaneously both the main mechanisms of mental processes in humans.

Computer technologies have discovered unlimited access to information. You can buy a CD with several thousand photos. On one disk fond of 15 thousand literary works. Bookstores Literally littered with books. But ... The ability of the brain remains at the same level and too many people are not able to take this information. Not because there is no money, but because people do not know how to work with information, do not know how to quickly read, do not know how to memorize. Recently, there is a catastrophic gap between the rapid growth of high technologies and the former "absorbance" information of the human brain.

Mnemotechnics will significantly increase your learning to any disciplines and will give you the opportunity to keep up with technological progress.

So, what is modern mnemotechnics?

This is the ability to accumulate a large number of accurate information. This is time saving at memorization - the memorization process is fully controlled. It is the preservation of memorized information in memory - what you remember, you will no longer have to learn again. This is a powerful workout of attention and thinking. This is a real chance to quickly master some new specialties and become a professional in your field. This is an opportunity to use the information: a person can apply knowledge only when they are in the head. It is just an excellent gymnastics for the brain - the brain needs to be trained so that it is not atrophied.

Sherlock Holmes - famous intellectual - loved to say: "The world's most perfect brain rust without a case."
Lookane mnemonist
In order for you to understand what awaits you when you get in touch with the mysterious art of memory, I will describe you what is happening in the imagination in a person who knows how to control the memorization process and remember. Let's start with the remember.

Imagine that in front of you is a common notebook. It contains a lot of accurate information. This, from the point of view of an ordinary person, is completely unnecessary (read - "Unmasked") Information: reference information, tables, complex text passages, phone numbers, surnames and names, chronological tables, lists geographical names, terms and concepts. And now imagine that you keep such a notebook in your hands, and you have a person who claims to read you the content of this notebook by heart, without a single error, without disturbing the sequences of the information recorded there. And he (mnemonist) actually reads. You follow the line and do not notice any errors, the numeric information from the tables is reproduced with an accuracy of thousandth. First you think that this notebook probably was notged for several years. Then you understand that this amount of accurate information is impossible. This is not poems. When the mnemonist reads you by heart the content of the notebook in the reverse order (literally, that is, it reproduces each telephone number from the end), you will most likely come to the conclusion that the person standing in front of you is a phenomenal memory. It will seem for you that this person sees a page with the text as a photo and reads it from his imagination.

However, you will still have suspicions that this "focus" was prepared for several years, by infinitely a long craft. But when you are offered to write 200 digits on a sheet and you will remember them in front of 5-10 minutes and reproduce both in direct and in reverse order, and even on the columns! - You will not have any doubt: you have a person with an abnormal (phenomenal) memory.

Meanwhile, the mnemonic, of course, does not see in his imagination with text or numbers. Everything is much easier. Look at the head of the mnemonist and see how information is recorded in his head.

Here it reproduces the image of a radio receiver in imagination and examines it, highlighting different parts: strap, speaker, adjustment scale, antenna, regulator. No information is recorded in these images. These images are auxiliary. Now the mnemonist represents the first auxiliary image of the "strap", largely increases it and in the imagination there is another image - "bus". But this image is auxiliary. The mnemonist examines the bus and sees the following images on it: on the spotlight - schedule, on the glass of the tricon of Napoleon, on the steering wheel - paint, on the seat - a girome, on the first-aid kit - a book. On the roof of the bus, the mnemonist sees a huge image of the donut.

Reproducing in its imagination these images, aloud, he says the following: Schedule of lessons on Monday: Algebra, History, Drawing, Physical Culture, Literature.

Then his attention switches on the setting scale. There he sees a Mirov certificate with a tina, and on it images of shrimp, an Indian stick, and two ate. The following is reproduced out loud: in 1398, Timur invaded India and captured Delhi's city.

Attention switches to the antenna. On the antenna, the mnemonist sees the recovery bridge and the bag on it. He says: Petersburg was founded in 1703.

On the receiver regulator, images are visible: scales, american flag and whistle. According to these images, the mnemonist reproduces the following date: 1787 - the proclamation of the US Constitution.

Moving in the images in their imagination from left to right, the mnemonic reproduces the information in direct order. But to reproduce information in the reverse order, it is necessary to read the images on the right to left.

The process of reading information from the brain is very similar to viewing photos on the computer screen. You can often click on the button and quickly view photos. But you can delay the attention on one photo and consider it in more detail.

Pictures that browse mnemonic not quite ordinary. These are mostly enough strange combinations of images: on dynamics - roller skates, on the boot of the cheese, circus, schedule, violin.

Here's what the phone numbers look in mnemonic interpretation.

Birch - 301-90-83. Mnemonic recalls this number as a combination of four pictures. Birch and at its parts of the image "Book", "Ryumka", "Vaksa".

Aurora - 337-26-00. The mnemonist recalls the image of the cruiser "Aurora", and on it the images "Coconut", "shower", "barrels".

Angara - 110-77-60. The mnemonist sees this phone number as a hangar, whose gate is covered by fire, on the roof there is a sauce bank, and the old tires are in the back of the hangar.

"Why are such difficulties and absurdity?" - you ask. - "Is it really impossible to just remember these phone numbers?" Memory theory and everyday experience say: otherwise it is impossible. The brain does not know how to memorize numeric information. You did not notice this before, because no one forced you to do this. If you do not believe, write 100 digits on the paper sheet and try to remember them.

Coding a memorable information in visual images is a need. The brain does not know how to memorize anything except visual images. You are used to encoding speech sounds in words - 33 letters combinations. Anyone in the process of learning mnemotechnics quickly gets used to encoding information in association - combinations of simple visual images.

So, at remembrance, the mnemonist encodes information into visual images and binds images together. Essentially, there is a direct, direct recording of information in the brain, but only with the help of visual images. Each image is something. Either a two-digit number, or a three-digit number, or by combining multiple images, it is easy to read a new geographical name.

When recalling a mnemonic reproduces a combination of visual images and reads on them literally as a book.

For example, if you remember 200 phone numbers, then you can play them both in direct and in reverse order, instantly (without busting) by name Remember numbers of numbers, and by number numbers - name. You can also answer such a question: "What phone numbers have the number 25?". If you correctly digest member lessons and you will remember correctly, then your memory will instantly give all the information in which the number 25 was used.

It seems incredible. But this is a fact. And this is a natural consequence of the holographic principles of the brain functioning.

In the head of the mnemonist - a huge number of ordered visual images. Some images are auxiliary and serve to search for information. In other visual images, specific information is encoded: names, concepts, numbers, surnames.

Viewing information in the imagination reminds viewing slides. Mnemonic remember is a kind of "Picture Story" - an exercise familiar to you from elementary school. Only in mnemonic pictures, any information you need are very accurate.

Doesn't the memory laugh such a large number of visual images? The answer to this question is unambiguous - no. The fact is that while you do not remember a certain combination of pictures, they are simply not in your head! Images appear in the imagination only at the time of their remember. That's so cunning your brain.

People who say that there is a risk of memory overload - deeply mistaken. The memory is almost impossible to overload, since neither the numbers nor the images or the words really remember the brain. It seems paradoxical. But only it seems. In fact, everything is quite simple. The following articles will help you understand simple, but the paradoxical mechanisms of human memory.

Moligious mnemonic
Currently, several directions of mnemonics can be distinguished. In the books in memory training, various, often incompatible directions of mnemonics are usually mixed. As a result, it turns out a kind of salad from memorization techniques, in which a uncommon to reader is difficult to see any system.

Another disadvantage of the books in memory training is the complete absence of the theoretical substantiation of the applied memorization methods. Without the theory, it is difficult to create an effective mnemonic system.

It should also be skeptical about the claims of the authors that it was they who invented the Cicero method and generally invented mnemotechnics. Mnemotechnics are so common that many do not notice her, because it is too global, permeate all our lives. Remember the Bass Krylova: "... I didn't notice the elephant."

I highlight six directions of mnemonics:

Folk mnemonics;

Classical mnemotechnics;

Pedagogical mnemotechnics;

Circus (pop) mnemotechnics;

Sports mnemotechnics;

Modern metering.

Consider briefly each of these directions.
People's mnemonic
To this kind, mnemonics should include those memorization techniques that are so firmly entered into our lives that many people do not even notice them. These are the techniques that are trained in children's garden And school, these memorization techniques that are recommended by the teacher of physics or physical education. Each person develops its own memorization system for life. Mnemotechnics There is a long time ago, and many methods and techniques are literally embedded in our life, surround us from all sides.

Look at the monitor of your computer. You will see a large number of visual images. Thanks to visualization of information, even a child who does not know how to read, knows that to record information on a floppy disk, it is necessary to peak over the floppy icon. Road signs are also a vivid example of introducing mnemonics into everyday life. At high speeds, a person is not able to perceive text messages. Road signs that are essentially symbols of certain rules are perceived quickly. The usual alphabet is the same mnemonic reception. In school, the child memorizes the correspondence of sounds to certain symbols - letters. When letters are encoded in a combination of points and dash (Morse alphabet) is also a mnemonic method.

The human brain does not know how to memorize numerical information, so each person comes up with his own techniques for memorizing phone numbers. As a rule, these techniques in all are approximately the same. Environmental coding is widespread, used to memorize new terms or foreign words. It is often unknowingly applied to accept binding to a well-known information, receiving the search for patterns in elements of remembered information.

The number of techniques of people's mpm is limited, they can be counted on the fingers. And these techniques are approximately the same. This, apparently, is due to the fact that it is directly or indirectly to our parents, in kindergarten, school. The techniques used are usually not recognized; Their effectiveness is extremely low, they do not have a scientific substantiation and do not represent anyware of the memorization system. But they help memorize. After all, each person remembers some number of historical dates, names, addresses, phone numbers. All of this information is remembered by us thanks to the techniques of the so-called people (widespread) mpm.
Classical mnemonics
Classical mnemotechnics is the first direction of mnemonics in history. It is said that matery was used yet in ancient Egypt And the Maya tribes taught their children mnemonic - the internal letter system. However, written documents confirming this we have no. The first preserved work on mpm date is dated 86 a year before the Nativity of Christ. It is this date that is considered in the history of mnemonics of the date of the occurrence of classical mnemonics.

Classical mnemotechnics arose as component Oratory and was used as auxiliary means to memorize the sequence of presenting long speeches. A set of techniques of classical mpm is limited. Memory mechanisms intuitively understood correctly, but to explain the principles of memory operation at that time was not possible - the level of knowledge about the world around was too low.

A vivid example of classical mnemotechnics is the Cicero method - the allocation of objects in a well-known room or on the street, and the use of them as "hangers" for memorized information. So far remain relevant and some other provisions formulated by Cicero. Thus, the classical mnemonic recommended to memorize information, previously converted it to visual images. The images themselves were divided into two large groups: auxiliary images for fixing the sequences and images in which the memorized information itself was encoded. Classical mnemotechnics drew attention to the fact that images can not only be memorized, but they can be erased.

Classical mnemotechnics at one time also divided into two directions. Some (Cicero) perfectly owned memorization technique with the help of shaped codes. Other representatives of mpm (quintilian) did not recommend using shaped codes for memorization. As historians noted mnemotechnics, people who refused the methods of classical mnemonics, as a rule, had some problems with visual thinking. They could not brightly present visual images and manipulate them in their imagination. Due to the physiological restrictions, the methods of classical mnemotechnics were not available to such people, and they were forced to develop their alternative memorization systems that were less depended on visual thinking. Already in the works of Quintilian, we can see the first sprouts of pedagogical mnemonics, mnemonics for people who are not capable of effective visual thinking. However, completely pedagogical mnemotechnics was formed only in the 16th century.

Pedagogical mnemotechnics
The founder of pedagogical mnemotechnics can be considered P.Ramus. In the 16th century, the University of Cambridge in England was taught both classical mnemonic (in the face of Jordan Bruno) and pedagogical mnemonic, which Peter Ramus promoted. It was so it turned out that pedagogical mnemotechnics, not based on visual thinking, was more accessible and understood by most people. And the main thing, the pedagogical mnemotechnology did not install such high planks, as classical mnemotechnics did. Simply put, pedagogical mnemotechnics refused to directly use visual images when memorizing, and to disguise the drop in the memory efficiency - sharply reduced the requirements for students. Pedagogical mnemotechnics did not force the chronological tables, so the disciples had no need to do this. Pedagogical mnemotechnics focuses on natural memorization with intense "chewing" of the material being studied. This is a multiple reading of the text; multiple repetition of loud (candor); rewriting the material being studied from the book to the notebook (abstract compilation); Redrawing illustrations from textbooks. This is an organization educational process in the form of a game. This creation of a large number of auxiliary (didactic) material ... and many others familiar to us from school methods.

In the 16th century, pedagogical mnemotechnics won a complete victory over the classical mnemonic. Its methods are still used in the official education system. Classical and pedagogical mnemotechnics have its advantages and its cons. Classical mnemotechnics without a doubt an order of magnitude more efficiently pedagogical. However, the methods of pedagogical mnemotechnics are an order of magnitude easier and clearer, and accessible more of people. The logic of teachers is extremely simple. You need to learn all, and not just people who have visual thinking.
Circus (pop) mnemotechnics
Circus mnemotechnics uses the principles of classical mnemonics. A distinctive feature of Circus mpm is a thorough development of the information encoding phase. Information is encoded there anywhere: in gestures, words, facial intonation, in order of words in the sentence ... Often, when a demonstration of the wonders of the phenomenal memory, the performers do not have to remember anything at all. They just transmit each other messages with the help of a code known only to them. It can even be said that the main thing in the circus mnemotechnology is not a memorization, but the transfer of information from the assistant to the Contractor with the help of various tricks. In this regard, only part of the arsenal mnemonics uses circus mnemonics. Although, of course, performers are of different qualifications.

When performing circus mnemonists, their ability to memorize is often not advertised at all, but on the contrary, it is kept secret. Because the entire illusion of telepathy, the search for items is based on well-trained memory.

We should not forget the fact that circus performers are primarily the artists of the circus. And deception in the circus (that is, the focuses) is considered the norm. Therefore, it should not be surprised when you learn that the performer has several dozen assistants in the hall.
Sports mnemonic
With real professional mnemonists who remember honestly, you can meet at the milestone competitions. Such competitions are regularly held, for example, in Cambridge, starting in 1997.

Sports mnemotechnics has its own specifics. First, each participant of the competition, although he knows how to memorize a wide range of information, as a rule, specializes in memorizing anything one. Some set records in memorizing binary numbers, others are champions on the speeding memorization of playing cards, the third came to memorize double-digit or three-digit numbers.

No one's ability to remember anyone in such competitions. To get to the competition, you need to take a qualifying tour on which you need to demonstrate the presence of memorization skill. After all, a person who does not know how to memorize, nothing to do in the competition.

Records installed by record holders are affected by imagination. Especially if a person is not familiar with the principles of memorization in mnemonic. But even among trained memorization of a person, the record holders cause a sense of deep respect. When you can remember yourself, then you understand what works all these records are.

The most difficult view of the competition is the memorization of pronounced numbers. When the mnemonist does not have the ability to re-see or hear the number I already remembered. That is, memorization from one-time perception.

In sports mnemotechnics, as well as any other competitions, the struggle goes for the best result. Mnemonists compete in two main indicators. The first is the speed of memorizing information. The second indicator is the amount of information memorized at a time.
Modern mnemotechnics
Contemporary mnechnotechnics refers to the "Jordano" system. But there are other systems whose authors are not limited to reading vintage books, and try to delve into the secrets of the brain and understand the principles of his work. A distinctive feature of modern mnemotechnics is the presence of a theoretical base. Based on the theory of memory, previously known memorization techniques are significantly finalized and combined into a clear memorization system aimed at solving certain objectives. There are specialized systems directed only to the study of foreign languages. There are techniques for learning complex motor skills.

The Jordanian system is adapted to memorize accurate information. Such information that cannot be memorable approximately and, as a rule, no one is even trying to memorize. The "Jordano" system allows you to memorize unmatched information.

Modern mnemotechnics moved away from the simonide who stuffed asking and "does not want to know where the pheasants are sitting." Modern mnemotechnics more to taste the results of neurophysiological research and accurate methods for checking the effectiveness of certain memorization methods.

Below is a list of the basic provisions of the Jordan system, which distinguish it from other memorization systems. When using these concepts by other authors, links to the Mnemonikon website and the memorization system "Jordano" are required.

1. The concept of "electrical memory" is introduced - the process of fixing the brain of communication between simultaneously working nerve cells.

2. The main thought operation leading to the memorization is the Operation "Connection".

3. The concept of "Memory of Memorization" is introduced - the sequential connection of the elements of a single information message.

4. The concept of "accurate information" is introduced - information, the elements of which during perception do not cause visual images in the imagination.

5. The main way to memorize in the system "Jordano" is the formation of an association consisting of the basics and elements. This memory method is the only correct and follows from the concept of "meaning of memorization" and an electrical communication scheme. In the literature on mnemotechnics has not previously been described.

6. The concept of "fixed shaped codes" is introduced - images and substitutes of frequently repetitive elements of information that should be unique and immutable.

7. The concept of "the internal stimulation system of the brain" is introduced - a system of in advance of bored unchangeable images, which from a neurophysiological point of view are spatial frequency filters. They are binding created associations. With their help, the brain is scanned and reading previously educated image combinations from it.

8. Multi-level support systems are used, which are built from the combinations of ten basic sequence memorization methods.

9. A ban on connection together of any shaped codes is entered. Also, the shaped codes are prohibited from using as reference images.

10. The concept of "memorization skill" is introduced and a computer test is developed to check the formed memorization skill. Standards have been introduced for students to memorize on the Jordan system.

11. The concept of "phonetic shaped codes" is introduced, which are used to quickly memorize foreign words.

12. Under a logical connection is meant, any relationship created in the imagination between visual images.

13. Under the "understanding" means the presentation in the imagination of spatially organized visual images.

14. The concepts of "Channels of the recreation imagination", "channel of spatial operators" are introduced, the scheme of the recreation imagination is given.

15. Four main stages of memorization are clearly defined: encoding elements of information in images, memorization (image compound), fixing the sequence of associations (directly between or using reference images), fixing the bonds in the brain (three methods of mental repetition).

You can continue to list the innovations that the Jordano system has introduced into the mnemonic. But the above is quite enough in order to understand that you are completely new mnemonics, not only not similar to the usual memorization system, but also contradicts it at every step.

Who needs mnemonics?
Schoolchildren and students
Schoolchildren and students write crib in front of exams. Mnemotechnics will remember these cribs. Then on the exams you will be written off from your memory. It is much safer. In addition, if you want, information can be saved in your memory for life. This may be required if you want to become a high-class specialist, a professional in your area.

Mnemotechnics will significantly reduce the time of preparation for exams. If you use mnemonic memorization methods during the school year, you do not have to prepare for exams at all. You just will remember the content of all your textbooks. (It is recommended to memorize information by small parts during the school year).
Teachers
Do not forget that mnemotechnics arose as part of oratory art. And the methods of memorifying the sequence of lecture material are almost the simplest in the art of memorization. But what effect it will give you on your students! When the teacher looks into the abstract - it does not cause respect for him. What he will teach, if he does not remember anything - the disciples think so often when they see the teacher who reads lectures on the abstract.

In addition, remembering the material of the lecture once, you will never have to spend time to prepare for the lesson. While your colleagues will reread the lecture plan a hundred and first time, you can enjoy a pleasant conversation and a cup of tea.
Just in life
Anyone has to remember a certain number of accurate information. We are accustomed to all this to record in the notebooks. Teach yourself write the information you need into your brain. Then you will not depend on the batteries in the phone or e-book. You will not be able to lose information. You will not be able to steal the information (PIN-codes of plastic cards), no one will turn on your computer without you and does not dispose of your accounts in the bank. To search for information in memory it does not need to be sought as in the memory of a cell phone.

Try using your memory every day. It is very convenient - to remember everything you need. And it is not difficult at all. On the contrary, sometimes to write down much faster in memory than in a notebook.
For self-education
Imagine that you read the book "300 receptions like another person." A week later, no more than five will remain different from the three hundred receptions in your memory. And in a month you will have to read this book again. A year later, you will seem that you read this book for the first time.

You can not use the information while it is not in your head. Remember consistently the basic positions of the book you need. And use. Now the book aspect is in your memory and information is available for use 24 hours a day. Moreover, if you remember this information with the help of methods of mnemonics, you remembered it into your brain. Information will automatically be "inserted" into your system of worldview. You specifically change your behavior program in accordance with the memorized information.

If you decide to study programming, then this can be done in several ways. You can sit programming according to the directory. You can study programming for 5 years, then the main commands will remember "Sobody". And you can spend a couple of weeks to memorize the programming language and write programs without cribs, as a professional programmer does.
Orators
Well, the speaker is simply obliged to know the mnemonics. Without this, oratory does not make sense at all. Professional speakers - theologians - study mnemotechnics in the seminary, so their speeches are pouring so smoothly. Have you ever seen the priest reading the sermon on a piece of paper? I think not. All priests with higher education in one degree or another own mnemotechnics.
Businessmen
Businessmen have an extensive circle of contacts. Often, if there is no man under the hand of the phone we need, then we cannot contact him. And lose a favorable offer. Remember the information about the people with which you support business relationships. "Bull need to take for horns," and then give your money to another.

Mnemotechnics is not only good memory. This is also a way to create a variety of illusions. After all, it is not for nothing that matery is often demonstrated in the circus and on the stage.

How is the illusion? Very simple. Each person is inclined to evaluate other people in their standards. Everyone considers himself if not the strongest, then exactly the smartest. When you meet by chance of your business partner and call it by name and patronymic, so I accidentally remember his home and working phone, asking about the health of his family members (calling them all by name), are interested, whether he managed to meet such a number , Your business partner has thought about as follows. The meeting was random, you did not have the opportunity to refresh your memory on the notebook. So you really remember information about it. And this means that you think about him that you are sincerely interested in this person. The presence of more developed intellectual abilities (due to the ability to memorize) is usually not considered. According to your interlocutor, the memory should be the same as he, that is, no.

If you find out before conclusion of the transaction that your potential partner is fond of aquarium fish, then mnemotechnics will allow you to quickly prepare for a meeting with this person. You can just take a book about fish and remember the hundreds of their names. When you meet with your partner, you will change the conversation about the fish. The accuracy of the terminology you use will convince him that you are interested in fish for at least ten years. And it will create the illusion that you are sincere in your speeches and actions. Your partner will make a deal with you only in order to once again talk to you about aquarium fish. After all, in his eyes showed themselves a brilliant connoisseur in this area and a very interesting person.

On these examples, a simple mechanism of evaluation by man of the truth of the statements of other people is visible. Mnemotechnics allows you to literally crush the inner censor of another person, creating an illusion of competence in certain areas.

The most interesting thing in all this is what, remembering information about fish, you will really become in them to understand if you make efforts to preserve this information in your memory.
To preserve health
Memory mechanisms are universal. According to these laws, not only memory works, but also everything in the brain and human body. According to these laws, everything is in animated nature. The same laws are subject to objects of inanimate nature.

All that we do not use in our body, sooner or later (more often) degenerates, atrophies. Imagine a person who, by the will of fate, lay in the gypsum for a whole year. What do you think to happen to his muscles? Right. They will become thin and weak. What happens to a person who does not use his memory? Memory will start dying as unnecessary. Until now, the reasons for one of the most common diseases, which struck the computerized society of the United Shatov of America are unknown. People began to disappear. A lot of people after 40 years ill sufferting Alzheimer's disease. This disease is initially manifested in violating the ability to memorize. Then the disease amazes all the large parts of the brain and the person dies (about 5 years after the start of the disease). At the opening, no viruses are not found, simply the nervous cells of the hippocampus - the authority responsible for memory are replaced by a conventional protein, that is, cease to function.

Causes matery, just like that, for prevention, as physical education in the morning, you will save your memory in excellent shape to old years. And if the process of memory in your brain is amended, most likely all brain systems will work without failures.

^ Part 2. Memory Mechanisms
Memory - paradox area
In principle, memory is very simple. The lack of understanding of its mechanisms is often associated with the misunderstanding of what is information for the brain.

At one time I studied a large number of literature on psychology and neurophysiology of memory, and this is surprising: no one can find the place of localization of information in the brain. No one can briefly and clearly answer the question: "How and where is the information stored in the head?"

Following simple logic, I came to the conclusion: if no one can find information in the brain, then it is not there!

This is the main secret of memory. The brain does not remember what you used to call the word "information". The brain remembers something completely different, to which we usually do not pay your attention.

Let's figure it out, what is the information?
Product of brain activity
There is information as a human brain activity. Such information is created by the brain and does not exist in nature. She is not without a person. What is this information? First of all, these are words. The brain is able to create words, and you can write these words on paper, save in the form of books, files, tape recorders.

The brain is able to create images. You can fix the images created by the brain on pencil or paints. Your descendants will be able to see the product of your brain.

The brains of some of the representatives of humanity are capable of creating music. Music can be saved by writing it on paper notes or immediately on the tape recorder or even a laser CD.

This type of information should be attributed to the fact that you usually and call information for memorization: all that is contained in textbooks and in your notebooks. All these texts, dates, formulas someone invented, therefore, all this information is a product of a large amount of brains.

All of the above information is not fixed by the brain. She is not in the brain. In any way. It is not in the brain not only in the form of words and images. It is not in the brain in general, even in the form of electrical impulses.
Objects of the surrounding world
Another type of information is the objects of the surrounding world. Objects of the surrounding world emit into the space physical and chemical signals, which, affecting your brain through different channels of perception (eyes, ears, etc.), are reflected in your brain (but not at all as in the camera on the film).

This type of information is also not remembered by the brain. When you look at the object, you see (reflect) it, but it (the object itself) does not remember your brain.

I understand that it sounds paradoxically and causes internal resistance, and even indignation. After all, you can close your eyes and remember a huge number of images! My statements contradict your experience. This is the so-called paradox area. Look at the name of this article. It is also called "Memory - a region of paradoxes." And my task is this short article to produce a real revolution in your head. The phenomenon of memory is really very paradoxically, that is, it contradicts what you feel and what you have been taught in school, and maybe even at psychpha. But in order to understand the memory and in mnemonics, you will have to break this psychological barrier of misunderstanding.

Do not rush with the conclusions and read on.
Communication, links and only connections ...
There is a third type of information that for some reason often forget. When the ancient magicians (so earlier called scientists) they said that the information always exists, everywhere and everything, they did not mean words and images, phones and dates; They did not mean objects that reflect our brain. They meant communication.

Let me remind you for disorders magic that in parapsychology there is the concept of "Akashi Chronicles", where all information about everything is recorded according to the legends: about the past, present and future. And some adepts of higher magic are allegedly able to read the information from there. The Akasha Chronicles do not seem so fantastic if under information to understand the connection, and not the happy number of the lottery ticket.

So, the third type of information is the links. Links between objects, phenomena and events of the world. Indeed, such information objectively exists always, everywhere and about everything, regardless of what philosophers and psychologists think about this.

Leaves grow on branches. The sun shines in the sky. Fish swims in water. When zipper sparkles, thunder will slow down soon. If it is raining, then clothing gets wet. If a man has a runny nose, then he is sick. Speech design "If ..., then ..." just reflects the type of information analyzed now - communication. "If the branch, then the leaves." "If sugar, then sweet." "If the fire, then burn."

This type of information is very important for us, because the brain remembers this type of information. The brain remembers connections. When you see on the table Vase with a rose, your brain remembers the relationship between the images "Vase", "Rose" and "Table". The brain images themselves does not remember.

Where do memories come from? We remember images and words?

With the illustration of simple memory principles you encounter the kitchen every day. Tell me, where does the hand pulling off, when do you touch the hot kettle? What a stupid question, tell me. Extinguishing is not taken anywhere. Just heat affects skin receptors, the connection is triggered and the hand is automatically pulling away. You see, you correctly understand the mechanisms of memory. Similarly, the images and reproduction of images. When you see a vase, it affects your eyes, the links are triggered and images "Rose" and "Table" appear in the brain. When you hear the word "cat", it affects your ears, the links are triggered and an image of a cat appears in the brain.

The brain is not a keeper of information in the usual sense of this word. The brain is able to save only connections. Regarding any other information (words, images, music, phone numbers, etc.) The brain is a generator of information. The phrase "information generator" sounds unusual. But it is this device that is in your cranial box.

Analogy. No one will come to the head of electricity in the generator. Everyone knows that the generator creates electrical energy. But the same funny attempts look in the brain images, words and phone numbers in the brain. There are no them in your brain. They are created, generated by the brain.

In order for the electrical generator to start creating electrical energy, it must be rotated. In order for the brain to start creating images and words, signals (incentives) should be inserted into the brain. A wide variety of incentives entering the brain are forced to trigger previously formed bonds, according to which the brain creates (generates) information: images, words, movement.

The simplest type of communication - Reflex - everyone is well known from school bench. In order for the reflex to work, the input of the system is required. The human memory works on the principle of "stimulus - reaction" (S-R).

From this simple analysis it is clear that an attempt to memorize telephone numbers and historical dates in their usual form is a completely meaningless occupation. The brain is not capable of such. You must learn to memorize links that exist in telephone numbers and historical dates. According to these bonds, the brain will generate the information you need.

The considered types of information are the objects of the surrounding world and brain products - contain connections. Communication is in the apple. Communication is in the phone number and historical date. What is the primary - an object or connection in it? This is a complex philosophical question. Therefore, miss it. For us, the main thing is that the brain fixes only ties. The rest - does not matter to memorize.

From the fact that the brain is capable of fixing only communication, follows the logical conclusion that if stimulating signals will not flow into the brain, the brain will not generate information, that is, the process of remember becomes impossible. The hand pulling reflex does not work until you touch the hot object. You will not sneeze until the dust falls into the nose. You may not even suspect the response programs laid in you (genetically), until you encounter a certain stimulating situation.

Next, we will describe in detail the two mechanisms for fixing the bonds of the brain. However, it is already necessary to note that in touch, formed by your brain, imposes a strong imprint stimulation entering the brain from the body and internal organs. These incentives are a background frequency with which any other stimulating signals entering the brain are mixed. Theoretically, it follows that changing the sensitivity of the body will make it impossible to generate information on relationships that were formed during normal body sensitivity. And almost the way it is. If a person has dramatically change the sensitivity of the body, then amnesia will come - the loss of memory.

When someone is great to move with alcohol at a party, the feeling of his own body changes dramatically. And when his normal condition returns to man, he will not be able to remember what happened to him when the sensitivity of the body was changed under the influence of alcohol. Communications are launched in incentives. But such incentives, which were in a state of intoxication, cannot receive a person in a sober state. Communications can not work without incentives. These relationships are as if isolated. Amnesia comes - failure of memory. As in this case, remember what was. You need to enter your body at the same condition, that is, get drunk again.

The most interesting thing in amnesia is that almost every person is regularly subject to memory losses. But we are not able to notice them, because it is impossible to remember the fact of forgetting.

In connection with the memory with the sensations from the body, almost the entire system of training Stanislavsky actors was built. He calls this "method of physical actions." To get rid of unnecessary behavior, to develop new behavior, change your identity, Stanislavsky recommends to make the relevant physical actions. Physical actions lead to a rapid change in body sensitivity. The body begins to "feed" other signals into the brain. Under the influence of modified stimulation, other connections are triggered, that is, previously blocked "layers" of memory are activated. And previously blocked active (in this moment - unnecessary).

So, to change your character, habits and attitudes towards other people, quite literally three or four days to engage in running, physical education and power training. The changes will be so noticeable that the people who know you will feel this and tell you about it. Changing your behavior will automatically entail the attitude towards you from other people.

Understanding that the true information is connections, and that the brain can not remember anything other than the relationship, gives the key not only to the correct memorization technique, but also explains the temporary and constant memory loss, postgipnotic suggestions, sharp changes in personality in one person, smooth change of nature , as well as mechanisms of memory disease.

The concept of "memory" - is central to psychology. Understanding the mechanisms for fixing the bonds of the brain and the mechanisms for generating information under the influence of incentives, makes it possible to understand other processes occurring in the brain, for example, the mechanisms of thinking and forming a person.

The concept of "memory" is central not only in psychology. The physical processes underlying the "Memory" process is a universal pattern, which is obeyed by everything in a living and inanimate nature.

Often in psychological literature you can find a confession that psychology does not know the memory mechanisms (see the Collection "Psychology of Memory" in the section "Review of Literature"). This is not true. Clean psychology is really powerless in these issues. Memory can only be understood at the junction of several sciences: neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, psychology, physics, mathematics.
The summary above is set as a plate.
