better late than never; better never late
drink water supercamp, drink water. Drink water, supercamp, drink water.
So...the supercamp director gave a book to its attendees parents??! Well, now that I am a reader, I have consumed it. And let me tell you, it brought back out long-hidden, cobwebbed memories from my mind mine.
Bobbi DePorter explained all available memory techniques along with instructions to develop these with your children. Structured similar to 7 Habits for Highly Teens, I was remiss if not to compare the two. In doing so, I was gravely disappointed in where this book fell short.
Gripes were that the only practice section was on the phonetic peg system. Similar to the mind palace concept where you visualize certain rooms in your mind palace filled with related memories, this went into much more detail. This system uses prominent phonemes in words to allude to buzz words you hope to memorize. In a single paragraph, each subject and verb has significance. Phoneme x=word that starts with y. I have never used this method of memory, and, therefore, would have liked practice with other methods described herein.
Takeaways I want to internalize, due to both importance and emotional stirring are: Acronyms and creative sentences were always favorite memory methods to develop whilst in Medical school (if only for a semester, per my MA Medical physiology). Drawing out all associations in a Linking/web diagram is super helpful in digging concepts out of your subconscious during tests and teaching others. The 24 hour, 48 hour, and 7 day time frames for reviewing material in rote memorization are a must. Create more first and lasts (primacy and recency effects) by taking nap breaks wherein you review material for 10 minutes whenever the material starts to become overwhelming. Most importantly, memory is a skill that can be practiced and improved.
