Section #3/4: MEMORY TRAINING thru CREATIVE VISUALISATION
MEMORY TRAINING thru CREATIVE VISUALISATION
Welcome to (your personal harnessing of) the 4th Dimension in Learning..
And now for the really fun part....The most important part! Because, although shadowing and drills are essential to capture the essence of a word or phrase and the feeling of the person uttering them, unless you can remember them you haven't learnt them. And in order to do this you must MEMORIZE them correctly. This is where the Creative Imagination comes in. Enjoy!
Preparing your Holo-MeMe / Memory Images
Step two: Create memorable images from Keywords (or highlights)
Section 3.1
KNOW THE WORDS
Creating your mnemonic!!(PREPARING YOUR Holo-MeMe aka MENTAL IMAGE)
Create a moving image/Holo-MeMe-as a mnemonic encoding device, a kind of mental(4D visual/ auditory/ kinaesthetic/ temporal) trigger-to assist you in 1) memorizing the entire sentence then 2) remembering it. Any suggestions supplied are just that, ie suggestions; you are encouraged to creatively visualize your own.
First Step:
Creating a trigger for the entire phrase
The first thing you need is a trigger for the whole phrase. This can be as salacious or as silly as you like. Or a little of both, in my case as exemplified in the above detail from a 15th century painting that I found on Wikipedia (愛魔 fr. Liebeszauber (aphrodisiac; English Love Magic). Click on it for the full view. ()The katakana rendition, "アイマ", is a close enough approximation to the phoneticization of the English sound of "I'm a" (aɪmə). The bonus 愛馬,is there to provide another vantage point for your educational amusement."I'm a shy guy" (aɪmə ʃaɪ gaɪ ənaɪ ˈhɑːdlɪ deəd .. tə tɔːk tə hɜː).
Second Step: Creating images for the Key Words (or stress points)

Obviously, your final goal is to remember the entire phrase from just one mnemonic, the above, for example. And you will!(Just think how you can often remember the entire line or verse of a song just from one word.) However, most people, for the memorization (and subsequent recall) procedure, need more key word triggers. In my experience, the fewer the better: too many means too much clutter. The following highlighted, hyperlinked katakana, accompanied by some half serious, half tongue-in-cheek kanji aqnd meanings, are mere suggestions.
ガイ(guy [gaɪ])(ハードディスク(hardly [ˈhɑːdlɪ]) and トルク・レンチ (talk [tɔːk] )

The next thing you need is a little action. Here is how one version of your full mnemonic encoding device (ニーモニックコード/エンコード) might appear in your imagination. I'll let it talk for itself but do remember to do some talking yourself in accordance with the instructions in the final panel.
Second Step: Creating/Preparing AgCs for the Key Words or Stress Points
Rõ ràng, mục tiêu cuối cùng của bạn là ghi nhớ cả cụm từ chỉ nhờ một gợi ý, ví dụ như câu trên. Và bạn sẽ làm được! (Hãy xem bạn có thể thường xuyên nhớ toàn bộ câu hoặc lời bài hát chỉ với một từ như thế nào). Tuy nhiên để ghi nhớ và nhớ lại liên tục thì hầu hết mọi người cần thêm từ khoá. Những tác nhân kích hoạt này tôi gọi là các Mã AudioGraphic, là những liên kết thần kinh trực tiếp giữa phát âm và ngĩa của câu.
Obviously, your final goal is to remember the entire phrase from just one mnemonic, the above, for example. And you will! (Just think how you can often remember the entire line or verse of a song just from one word.) >>> However, for deeper and more lasting encoding ie memorization and subsequent recall procedures, more key word triggers are often required. These triggers, which I call AudioGraphic Codes, serve as direct neurological links to pronunciation and meaning.

Creating Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic and Temporal Connections()The goal here is to NEUROLOGICALLY embed the memory onto the synapses of the neural pathways in YOUR BRAIN. You do this creating simultaneous SENSE or MODALITY connections. In the following you engage YOUR CREATIVE IMAGINATION to make multi-dimensional and multisense connections of 4 senses:

Going through the same five step procedure outlined in the above video, memorize the following sentences. Suggestions for whole sentence Holo-memes are provided, though it would be preferable to imagine your own. Remember to create your AudioGraphic Codes (AgCs) if required.
