Using mnemonics to develop photographic memories in speed reading

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks discovered a powerful memory strategy. One of their most powerful discoveries is the use of mnemonics. When used correctly, the mnemonic can provide you with factual and detailed photo memories during reading or quick reading. This article will teach you more about this technology.

The Greeks found that if the patterns created can encode the details of the information you need to learn, your brain will retain the information quickly and efficiently. The mnemonic is based on this discovery. You may have used mnemonics in school. For example, many people learn the names of the Great Lakes by using the mnemonic "Home". The letter in the word "Homes" is a mnemonic. First, let me explain and then explain how to apply this strategy to your learning strategy.

The letter "H" stands for Huron. The letter "O" stands for Ontario. The letter "M" is from Michigan. The letter "E" is related to Yili. Finally, the letter "S" represents the largest lake, the Superior. Now you can try to remember the names of the five lakes, or you can use this simple mnemonic to correlate the stimuli to help you remember all of them more effectively. Let's see how the mnemonic actually works.

A mnemonic is a word, phrase, sentence, or syllable that encodes a list of information. The first letter of a word in a sentence or the letter in a word is associated with a key phrase or term that you need to remember. Let's see how to use it during speed reading.

When I learned the nine attributes of the life system, I read a biology book using speed reading. The nine features include:
from

[1] specific organization,
from

[2] metabolism,
from

[3] sports,
from

[4] irritability,
from

[5] growing up,
from

[6] copying,
from

[7] Specialization,
from

[8] adaptation, and
from

[9] Control.

Imagine trying to remember all nine of these concepts as you read them quickly. It simply doesn't work. Let us see what I did.

I created a mnemonic using the first letter of each of the nine features. This is the mnemonic I created: SMM IGR SAC. This meaningless syllable links the first letter of each feature to a pattern I can learn and retain for more than 40 years in less than 3 minutes. This is the power of the mnemonic that is used correctly during speed reading. Give it a try, I know you will like the memory it releases in your life.
