![]() ![]() When using locations, rather than people or objects as pegs, the number of pegs you can use becomes virtually limitless, as you are only limited by the number of familiar locations you know and have visited. ![]() This has a number of advantages, in particular that it is relatively easy to make up new journeys to memorise new information. So if he is remembering 100 items, he associates each item to a location on his journey (usually using a person), rather than association each item to the people on his list of 100 people, as seems to be the case in the 'dry run' above. In the descriptions in his books, what Dominic does *not* generally do is to use his 100 people as his pegs. The images used are people (or, in more complex cases, people plus actions) So for example, to remember playing cards, the pegs used are 52 steps on a journey, and the card is remembered by associating a person with each step.Dominic O'Brien describes the use of his system for various types of information (numbers, playing cards, etc.), and the key features that run through the system are, in my interpretation: I think that the description of the mnemonics used 'dry run' above does not describe the same system as that used by Dominic O'Brien himself (although it is a perfectly reasonable mnemonic that would probably work pretty well). Has anyone tried using the Dominic System to memorise circa 10,000 items? - RonHaleEvans # (discussion moved here from DominicSystem) ![]()
