«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 13

A FEW WORDS BEFORE WE START

It is highly recommended to create your own associations when the words used to create them are not
familiar to you. The coding process is very much based on the information contained in your memory.
You will be able to decode visual images and associations only if they make sense to you.

Try to use our material as an example, but if you come up with a better version of coding then use your
version. The quality of the memorization will be much higher. Just make sure you follow the rules (GMS
System).

Example:

We need to memorize Japanese word “Niwa”. We can memorize it as a word “Biwa” using the
Encoding by Consonance Technique. If word “Biwa” is unknown to you, use something else, like: NI
(NIghtingale) + WA (WAffle).

Biwa – Japanese ancient lute-like musical instrument

You will learn how to memorize new words in any amount in the third course.

FORMATTING MEMORY

You are about to begin with the new study course, “Your First Data Base”.

The course objectives:

- Learn to memorize the most common types of information (phone numbers, dates, names and last

names, formulas, anecdotes etc.) using memorization techniques (total of 25 types);

- Learn to memorize information systematically (form a four-level support image system);
- Master the technique for information fixation in the long-term memory (three repetition

techniques);

- Learn to read information encoded into a combination of visual images freely in your

imagination.

While you follow the “Your First Data Base” study course you will memorize 100 units of information.
An information unit is both a separate phone number and a text paragraph.

The memorized data is numerated: 1.4.3, 4.3.1 etc. The purpose behind it is to let you learn to move
freely in the support images system and read information from your memory without investigative
questions (by numbers).

The result of this study course will be as follows: You will remember all the information volume
provided in the attached file. You will be able to remember all the data in both direct and reverse orders.

You will also be able to answer any questions with respect to the provided information as well as
remember the information by its ordinal number (without investigative questions).

Attention! All the exercises of this course are subject to long-term memorization independent from
whether you will use the data or not.

FORMING A FOUR-LEVEL SUPPORT IMAGE SYSTEM

ANY RANDOM IMAGES can be used to form a support image system. This helps to avoid having a
lack of images in familiar settings (the Cicero method).

A support image system is formed beforehand. Always have one or two blocks of support images in your
memory (A block equals to 125 support images).

Now you will form a support image block that contains 100 support images.

THE FIRST LEVEL

A door

A visual image using the Cicero method is selected. Let us use an entrance door to your home.

THE SECOND LEVEL

Number – peephole – handle - lock

The images of the second level are selected using the image part selection technique. Image parts are
always selected in the same direction: top to bottom and left to right. The following images are selected
in the “Door” image: number plate, peephole, handle and lock.

Imagine every image separately and magnified. Imagine the door and the four images on it.

THE THIRD LEVEL

Radio – electric guitar – alarm clock – teakettle with a whistle – hand pump

Fire-extinguisher – headphones – TV Set – table lamp – flower in a pot

Clothes washer – cell phone – screw and nut – air conditioner – coffee maker

Slingshot – open stapler – paper punch – pencil - piano - air balloon

Support images of the third level are sequences of random images. These sequences are usually short
(about five images). Sequence images are connected using the “Chain” technique. The first image of each
sequence is connected to a support image of the second level.

THE FOURTH LEVEL

Images of the fourth level are selected using the image part selection technique. You need to select five
parts in each image. Images of the fourth level are the last set of images (terminal) of a support image
block
. The data encoded in an association is connected to them. The images of the first three levels are
auxiliary.

A SCHEME OF SUPPORT IMAGE BLOCK

In order to memorize the exercises of this course you need to form a block containing 100 terminal (the last) support images.
A standard block (as seen in the scheme above) usually contains 125 terminal support images. A division into five is used for
convenience: there are five images in a sequence and five image parts.

Images in violet are terminal support images. You will connect information encoded into associations to those images.

You can select 10 images in your home hallway using the Cicero method and create a support image block for each image.
Thus, you can place 1250 information cells in your hall alone. Support image blocks should be memorized before you
memorize information to them.

You only need to create 25 connections in order to create a support image block containing 100 terminal images.

Form a four-level support image block following the described instructions.

Imagine an image of a door.

See each door sub image magnified: number plate, peephole, handle, and lock.

See only the number plate magnified. Create connections (all connections – using the “Chain”
technique): number plate – radio, radio – electric guitar, electric guitar – alarm clock, alarm clock –
teakettle with whistle, teakettle – hand pump.

See only the peephole magnified. Create connections: peephole – fire-extinguisher, fire-extinguisher –
headphones, headphones – TV-set, TV-set – table lamp, table lamp – a flower in a pot.

See the door handle image magnified. Create connections: door handles – clothes washer, clothes
washer – cell phone, cell phone – bolt and nut, bolt and nut – air conditioner, air conditioner –
coffee maker.

background image

See the lock image magnified. Create connections: lock – slingshot, slingshot – stapler, stapler –
paper punch, paper punch – pencil, pencil – piano, piano – air balloon.

Now view the images in your imagination. You enter the support image block through the first image -
“Door”. Note that you can view the images consecutively as well as in short series. If while seeing the
“Door” image you concentrate your attention on the “Door handle” image then you get on the “Clothes
washer, cell phone, screw and nut, air conditioner, coffee maker
” sequence.

The images you have just viewed in your imagination are auxiliary. The memorized data will be
connected to the images of the fourth level - the terminal images of a support image block.

View all 105 images of the fourth level in your imagination. Each image should be seen separately
(isolated from the others), magnified, in three dimensions, in detail and in color.

The images are numerated. The numeration does not need to be specifically memorized. A necessary
image is found through three numbers. A number in the support image block is easy to find through the
image.

The numeration principle is very simple. The first cipher stands for the sequence number. The sequence
beginning with a number plate - 1, a peephole – 2, a door handle – 3, a lock – 4.

The second cipher means the image number in the sequence of random images. Radio is 1, guitar is 2,
teakettle is 3 and hand pump is 4.

The third number stands for a sub image number on every sequence image. Strap - 1, antenna -2,
loudspeaker - 3, tuning scale - 4, tuning handle – 5. Understand the numeration using the scheme. It is
all that simple!

Fix this support image block in your memory through mental repetition of the images. Train yourself to
view the images without inner speech in your imagination. Train yourself to determine the numbers of
terminal support images.

Note that it is very convenient and compact to represent information as visual images. What requires a
long description is easy and quick to view in your imagination. You can now note that viewing
information in memory is analogical to viewing folders and files on a computer.

You will learn to “page through” support images in your imagination like slides on a computer screen:
strap, antenna, loudspeaker, tuning scale and so on. Each support image is represented separately from
others, magnified, in detail and in three dimensions.

Train yourself to view the terminal support images at a speed of one image per second. In order to block
out image pronouncing read a memorized poem out loud or in your mind.

Do not change images or their numeration. All the exercises of the “Your First Data Base” course will be
fixed on the previously memorized support image block.

Continue training with the “Memorization Master” program. Turn on the “Training” regime and set the
amount of memorized numbers to 30.

«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 14

LESSON TIMETABLE; HISTORICAL DATES; DATES OF AN EVENTS’ BEGINNING/END

You are now beginning to study the memorization techniques for the most common types of information.
Each type of information will be illustrated with several examples. You will fix each example on the
previously prepared support image system (Lesson 13).

As you follow this course, examples of memorizing different types of information will be accumulated
onto your support images. All this data can be stored in your memory so that you can perform the control
test on memorization of all the course information volume.

The examples will be stored in your long-term memory. You will master different information fixation
methods using these examples. The necessary data should be memorized BY ANALOGY with the
exercises completed.

LESSON TIMETABLE

1.1.1. Monday – mathematics, history, drawing, physical exercises and literature

The “radio strap” support image (1.1.1).

Information contains six elements. Note that all these elements belong to the figurative code category.
According to the memorization rules set in the “Giordano” system, figurative codes can only be
association elements.

In this case an association base is introduced in a compulsory manner. Any random image will do. Let it
be a “bus” image.

The principle of representing random images with figurative codes:

Any random image can be represented with a figurative code. In our example this is the “bus” image. A
figurative code is the “MoNitor” image symbolizing Monday (see the “Figurative code reference book”).

Imagine a bus and place a large image of a monitor on its roof. This picture says that information related
to Monday is fixed on the “bus” image.

Now it is necessary to select figurative codes appropriate for subject names. Images are selected
randomly using the symbolization technique or connecting to familiar information. Images must be fixed
– one subject has to be represented with the same visual image:

Mathematics – graph
History – Napoleon hat
Drawing – paint
Physical exercises – weight
Literature - book

You need to place 5 images representing the subjects on the “Bus” association. Consequently, you need
to single out 5 parts (5 sub images) in this association: headlights, windshield wipers, steering wheel,
driver seat and a pedal.

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

Create the following connections:

Headlights – graph (mathematics)
Windshield wipers – Napoleon hat (history)
Steering wheel – paint (drawing)
Driver seat – weight (P.E.)
Pedal – book (literature)

One information message can be fixed to one association. Examine the association in full. A bus
represented with a monitor image and a graph, Napoleon hat, paint, weight and a book on its parts.

You need to see visual images distinctively. The memorization process is viewing the images in your
imagination. You see visual images but name them how they must be named - not “graph”, but
“mathematics”, not “paint”, but “drawing”.

The last operation is fixation of the association base (bus) on a new support image. Remember the “radio
strap” support image and connect it with the association base (bus): a bus is stuck in the strap.

Please remember that only two images can be connected in your imagination at a time. Whatever the
technique you use is, it is all about the simplest mental operation – connecting two images.

Let us repeat the sequence of operations in your imagination.

1. Introduce an association base, a random image (Bus).
2. Represent Monday with the bus. Connection: bus – monitor.
3. Select five parts in the bus: headlights, windshield wipers, steering wheel, driver seat and a pedal.
4. Choose figurative codes to represent subject names: graph, Napoleon hat, paint, weight, and a

book.

5. Create a connection: headlights – graph.
6. Create connection: windshield wipers – Napoleon hat.
7. Create connection: steering wheel – paint.
8. Create connection: driver seat – weight.
9. Create connection: pedal – book.
10. Create connection: radio strap – bus (association fixation by base, on a new support image.)

The following examples will be described in details.

1.1.2. Tuesday – English, geometry, history, mathematics and music

Support image is “Antenna” (1.1.2).

Let us introduce a random image that would be an association base: roller skates. Represent the image
with Tuesday image code: “ToaSt”. Create the connection: toast on the top of roller skates.

Select five parts in roller skates: strap, laces, frame (where wheels are fixed), wheel, and a brake.

Represent the objects with figurative codes (figurative codes are selected randomly):

English – Tower Bridge
Geometry – Pair of compasses
History – Napoleon hat
Mathematics – graph

background image

Music - flute

Create connections:

Strap – Tower Bridge
Laces – Pair of compasses
Frame – Napoleon hat
Wheel – graph
Brake – flute

Imagine the complete association: roller skates represented with toast and the bridge, pair of compasses,
Napoleon hat, graph and flute on its parts.

Fix the association on new support image. To do so, create a connection: antenna – roller skates.

HISTORICAL DATES

1.1.3. Year 1398 – Timur invaded India and occupied Deli

The support image is “Loudspeaker” (1.1.3)

The information contains four elements: 398, Timur, India, and Deli. A “1” in the year number is omitted
and is added only while recalling. The association base is

Timur

.

A combined association base

An association base can be combined - contain two or three visual images. Elements of the memorized
information can be recorded onto parts of the combined association base.

Break the word in two parts: TI + MUR. Develop each part into a word with a meaning (which is a word
causing an image to appear in your imagination). TI – TIn and MUR is leMUR. Create a connection:
lemur has a tin in his mouth. How you have a combined association base representing the principal
information element – name “Timur”.

Let us record the remaining elements on the “MUR” base parts (lemur). Imagine three parts: foot, back
and tail.

Let us represent the information elements with images:

398 – Blue CeLery (figurative code reference book)
India – incense (symbolization technique)
Deli – ELIxir (encoding by consonance)

Create connections:

Foot – blue celery
Back – incense
Tail – bottle with lightening elixir

Imagine the complete association: lemur with the tin in his mouth. Then you see a blue celery, incense
and elixir in order from top to the bottom and left to the right.

Fix the association on the following support image. Create a connection: loudspeaker – lemur.

1.1.4. Year 1703 - foundation of St. Petersburg

The support image is “Tuning scale” (1.1.4)

Information contains two elements:

703

,

Petersburg

. The association base is Petersburg.

Represent the elements with images:

703 – DuMBbell (the figurative code reference book)
Petersburg – swing bridges (the symbolization technique)

Create a connection: a dumbbell on the swing bridge.

Fix the association on the following support image. Create a connection: Tuning scale – a swing bridge.

1.1.5. Year 1787 – adoption of US constitution

The support image is “Tuning handle” (1.1.5)

Information contains three elements:

787

,

constitution

,

USA

. The association base is constitution.

Represent the elements with images:

787 – SaLaD (the figurative code reference book)
Constitution – Themis scales
USA – American flag

Select two images in the association base (scales): scales stand and scales plates.

Create connections: scales stand – American flag, scales plates – salad. See the association in full:
imagine scales, flag and salad on them.

Fix the association onto the following support image. Create a connection: tuning handle - scales.

1.2.1. Year 1806 - Rein Union – Union of 36 Germanic states under the protectorate of Napoleon I

The support image is “Tone regulators” (1.2.1)

Information contains 5 elements:

806

,

Rein

union,

36

,

protectorate

,

Napoleon

. The association base is

“Rein union”.

Represent the base with an image of “Two REINdeer connected with leashes”. In this image, reindeer
will remind you of “Rein” and the leashes – “union”.

In this image select four different parts: leash, horn, hoof and tail.

Represent the elements with images:

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

806 – Long MiXer (the figurative code reference book)
36 – BoX (the figurative code reference book)
protectorate – protector (Elbow Protector), encoding by consonance
Napoleon I – Napoleon statue

Create connections:

Leash – Long mixer
Horn - Box
Hoof – Elbow Protector
Tail – Napoleon statue

Imagine the association completely. Fix the association on the following support image. Create
connection: tone regulators – two reindeer connected with leashes.

How to avoid mixing up figurative codes for two-digit numbers and figurative codes for three-digit
numbers:

Figurative codes for two-digit numbers must be well memorized. Thus, you will always recognize the
images representing two-digit numbers. Subsequently, other images will represent three-digit numbers.
They will be memorized gradually as you use them. Use the reference book to memorize three-digit
numbers.

You do not need the reference book when you recall information. You will easily recreate a number by
an image you see: SaLaD – 787.

DATES OF AN EVENT’S BEGINNING/END

1.2.2. 1377 - 1399 – Reign of Richard II in England

The support image is “Fingerboard” (1.2.2)

Information contains four elements:

377

,

399

,

England

,

Richard II

. The association base is Richard II.

Let us create a combined association base. We will encode Richard II into a combination of two images.
Break Richard II into parts: RICH + II. Transform the parts into words with meaning: RICH – the RICH
(bag of money with 2 knots (for II)).

The association base will look as follows: Big bag of money with two knots on the top. It is easy to read
“RICHARD II” by this picture.

Note that encoding process is very much similar to compiling a quiz. Some believe that quizzes appeared
as one type of mnemonic exercises for encoding and decoding.

Transform the following elements into images:

377 – BeD-Spread (the figurative code reference book)
399 – Black CaCtus (the figurative code reference book)
England – Tower Bridge

Create connections:

Knot on the bag of money – Bed-spread
Top part of the bag - Black cactus
Hole in the bags’ bottom part - Tower Bridge

Imagine the association completely and fix it on the following support image. Create a connection:
fingerboard – big bag of money with two knots on the top and with the glued beard on it.

1.2.3. 1650 - 1702 – Reign of English king William III of Orange

The support image is “Pick-up” (1.2.3)

Information contains 5 elements:

650

,

702

,

England

,

William 3

and

Orange

. The association base is

William III.

Transform “William III” into a combined base: WILL + IAM + 3. WILLow + dIAMonds. On the willow
place 3 glued diamonds. It is easy to recreate “William III” by this image. Select 4 parts in this image and
create the following connections:

First part – PaRMesan (650)
Second part - SeMiTrailer (702)
Third part – Tower Bridge (England)
Fourth part – orange (Orange)

View the association in full and fix it onto the following support image. Create a connection: pick-up –
willow with 3 glued diamonds.

1.2.4. 1762 - 1796 – Reign of Catherine II

The support image is “Bridge” (1.2.4)

Information contains three elements:

762

,

796

,

Catherine II

. The association base is Catherine II.

Transform “Catherine II” into a combined association base. It sounds similar to “catering”. Imagine two
catering stands to encode “Catherine II”.

Select two parts in the catering stands. Create connections:

First part – SPHinx (762)
Second part – SCePter (796)

Imagine the association completely. Fix it on the following support image. Connection is: bridge –
catering stands.

VARIOUS TECHNIQUES OF MEMORIZATION AND INFORMATION FIXATION IN THE
BRAIN

You need to learn to store the created connections in your brain. Connections are fixed in the brain if
they are recalled regularly.

ALWAYS REPEAT INFORMATION BY RECALLING IT. It is only by doing this the high-quality
data fixation will be ensured in the brain. Repeated perception (reading from a book) does not lead to
information memorization and fixation in the brain.

APPROXIMATE REPETITION SCHEME

1. Control remembering. After you have memorized some data volume you need to recall it. If you

discover a mistake or a gap, memorize the missing or erroneous data once again. It is necessary to
achieve correct information memorization. It is only after that you can move on to repetition. In
GMS, repetition is performed not for memorization, but for information fixation in the brain.
Repeating in GMS is repeatedly recalling information.

2. The first mental repetition should be done after about 1 hour from the control recalling.
3. The second repetition happens about 3 hours after the previous one.
4. The third repetition is about 6 hours from the second one.
5. The fourth repetition should happen the next day.

This repetition scheme is approximate. The more sophisticated the information is and the larger is the
volume the more meticulous its fixation through mental repetition should be.

You need to develop a habit of regularly viewing the newly memorized data in your imagination -
especially during the first 3 or 4 days after the initial memorization.

THE FIRST REPETITION TECHNIQUE

VIEWING SUPPORT IMAGES AND ASSOCIATION BASES IN YOUR IMAGINATION

This repetition technique is used to quickly view large volumes of information. Inner speech must be
purposely suppressed in this case. You need to VIEW images. Train yourself to view the data you have
memorized in this lesson. You need to SEE: bus in the strap; roller skates on the antenna; loudspeaker
with lemur on it; tuning scale with a swing bridge; tuning handle with scales; tone regulators with two
reindeer; fingerboard and big bag of money; pick-up and willow with 3 glued diamonds; bridge and
catering stands.

If you fail to view images in absolute silence then read a previously learned poem or count from 1 to 100
as you are “paging through the images”. You need to occupy your speech analyser in any way possible.
The visual analyser can work independently. As you get rid of your low-speed speech you will be able to
view images faster (about 1-3 support images per second).

I would like to remind you once again: you do not need to name the images. Repeated activation is
representing two connected images in your imagination (anamnesis). The more you recall a connection
between images the better this connection will be fixed in your brain.

THE SECOND REPETITION TECHNIQUE

REPETITION WITH FULL DECODING

This repetition technique is used to fix information in your memory during the first 3-4 days after the
initial memorization.

When you recall an association you need to examine it and see all the images. You also need to
intentionally name the memorized association. You do not need to name the images but the initial
memorized data. It is very important to make sure that the decoding process happens without pauses and
very smoothly – so that a person watching you would think that you are reading not by viewing images
but as if you are reading from a book.

background image

When you remember the strap and the bus you begin scanning the bus and say to yourself or out loud: the
Monday timetable – mathematics, history, drawing, physical exercises and literature.

Watch the gap-fillers like “well”, “so” and others: your speech has to be clear and distinct. You only
need the data.

The support images and image encoding information does not have to be named. You do not name letters
that make up the words in a book. Images are GMS letters - this is a GMS language, brain language.

THE THIRD REPETITION TECHNIQUE

REPETITION USING THE MENTAL SPEECH AND DRAWING TECHNIQUES

This technique is used to create connections between different analytical systems to create reflex
connections. A reflex connection cannot be created instantly. You need to activate the necessary nerve
cells for several days in order to create it.

Technically it looks this way. You activate signals from different analysers in your imagination. For
example, you imagine a box image (visual analyser), draw the number 36 in its background (movement
analyser) and say to yourself “thirty-six” (speech analyser).

This repetition technique is used when you encounter new figurative codes in the memorized information
(difficult signs, new foreign words or new names).

In the examples described in this lesson you should repeat the images that are figurative codes using this
technique. For example, when you remember an association on tuning scale (a dumbbell on the swing
bridge), you should imagine the dumbbell image separately and draw number 703 in its background
while saying the number.

Image codes chosen using the symbolization technique do not need to be fixed on purpose. Why?
Because these connections are already in your brain: swing bridge – St. Petersburg.

Task:

Achieve complete memorization of the exercises of this lesson (support images 1.1.1 to 1.2.4). Master
the three repetition techniques whenever you have free time. Repetition is only performed from memory.

We do not recommend doing these exercises while you are driving or in places with a high risk factor -
for example, when you cross the street. Do not repeat right before you go to sleep or when you are
already in bed. This may lead to a spontaneous altered conscience state (self-hypnosis). Effects may vary.
There is always a risk of remaining in the altered conscience state (difficulties waking up).

Task:

Continue the training on the “Memorization Master” program. Set the memorized data volume to 40.
Train with the “Training” regime. If you manage to memorize in 12 seconds and do not make more than
one mistake per 10 numbers, you can move on to the “Exam” regime. The program not only shows the
results but also calculates the increase in your memorization capacity (compared to the norm).

«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 15

PRECISE DATES

The particularity of memorizing precise dates is in the fact that different elements of a precise date
(number year, month numbers, month name) are memorized using different figurative codes. The year is
memorized using three-digit number figurative code: month date – two-digit number figurative code, and
month name– using the months’ figurative codes.

A combination of figurative codes allows recognizing information quickly as it is recalled. Thus, if you
see a month figurative code in an association then this is probably an association representing a precise
date.

1.2.5. 1396, 25 September – Battle of Nicopolis

The support image is “Output jack” (1.2.5)

Information contains 4 elements:

396, 25, September,

and

Nicopolis.

The association base is “Nicopolis”.

Create a complex base by distinguishing two roots - NIC and POL. Connecting vowels, suffixes and
endings can be ignored. The two syllables are enough to memorize the name correctly. Develop NIC to
NICkel and POL – to POLaroid. Nickel Polaroid camera.

Note that if one of the images has already been used you need to perform the “Image modification”
operation and imagine a slightly different image having different contours. You should then place the
second image to a different part of the first image in order to protect yourself against mistakes.

Other information (precise date) elements can be connected to any of the base images. Select three parts
in the Polaroid camera: peephole, flash light, picture ejector.

Create three connections:

Peephole – Broken CaPsule (396)
Flash light – HaRe (25)
Picture ejector – Protractor (September)

Imagine the association completely and fix it onto the following support image. Create a connection in
your imagination: Output jack – Nickel Polaroid Camera.

1.3.1. 1346, 26 August – Battle of Crecy

The support image is “Alarm clock button” (1.3.1)

Information contains four elements:

346, 26, August,

Crecy

. The association base is “Crecy”. Represent

“Crecy” with “fleecy crab” – CRab+ fleECY.

Select three parts in the “crab” image: claw, head, and shell. Create three connections:

Claw – Bronze Viper (346)
Head – TaPe (26)
Shell – Mustard (August)

1.3.2. 1389, 15 June – Battle of Kosovo

The support image is “Alarm clock bell” (1.3.2)

Information contains four elements:

389, 15, June,

Kosovo

. The association base is “Kosovo”. Encode

“Kosovo” into “Costume” image.

Single out three parts in the costume: Tie, a jacket and trousers. Consecutively create three connections
from top to bottom:

Tie – BLaCkberry (389)
Jacket – NaRcissus (15)
Trousers – American Flag (June, Flag Day)

After you have distinctively seen the image pairs imagine the association in full and fix it onto the
following support image (Alarm clock bell). Create the connection: bell – costume. The bell is the first
image of the pair and the costume – the second one. Always keep the same sequence of connecting
images in a pair. A support image is always the first in a pair.

1.3.3. 1492, 12 October – Columbus discovers America

The support image is “Dial” (1.3.3)

Information contains 5 elements:

492, 12, October,

Columbus

,

America

. The association base is

“Columbus”. Transform “Columbus” into “Column”.

Select four parts in the “Column” image from the top to the bottom: telamon, top part of the column,
thread and foundation.

Telamon - A figure of a man used as a supporting column

Perform the DIRECT INFORMATION RECORDING IN THE BRAIN. Connect the five image
elements together. When the elements are transformed into images, this can be done directly in your
imagination:

Telamon – ViCTual (492)
Top Part – aNTeater (12)
Thread – Ice (October)
Foundation – Statue of Liberty (America)

View the full association in your imagination. Fix it on the following support image. Create a connection:
dial – column.

MEMORIZING FACES, SURNAMES, NAMES AND MIDDLE NAMES

THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURE TECHNIQUE

The brain remembers representations – generalized object contours. Only low spatial frequencies enter
the visual analyser when a person is awake. This is similar to viewing pictures on a low- resolution
computer screen (large pixels). You can only say that you see a persons’ face but the details (high spatial

School of Phenomenal Memory® GMS by Email © 2006, All rights reserved www.Pmemory.com

background image

frequencies) are not seen with this resolution. That is why it is better to abandon direct face
memorization and replace it with distinctive features memorization.

A persons’ distinctive features are usually selected according to his or her job or hobby. The choice
principle is very simple and is precisely described in the manual. For example, if you want to memorize
information about a dustman, he can be represented with a broom. A person playing jazz might be
represented with a “Saxophone” image and so on.

When you select a distinctive feature on a photo you should try to find an image that distinguishes the
photo among others.

A connection between a face on a photo and the distinctive feature you select do not need to be
memorized on purpose because when you examine a photo and the distinctive feature you selected you
perceive several images at a time. Simultaneous perception of connected images is a signal for anamnesis
and that is why a connection between the face and the distinctive feature is automatically fixed by your
brain. You only need a couple of seconds to attentively examine the face and pay attention to the selected
distinctive feature.

The distinctive features themselves are simple visual images that need to be memorized consecutively.
When you remember a sequence of distinctive features you make your brain generate other images
connected to that sequence - that is, faces. That is how simple this memorization technique is.

You can memorize a sequence of illustrations analogically, even pictures at an exhibition.

Now scrutinize the following portraits and pay attention to the selected distinctive features. Memorize the
distinctive features onto the previously prepared sequence of support images. Create connections
between the new support image and the distinctive feature.

1.3.4. Distinctive feature “Earring”. Louisa May Alcott

The support image is “Clock hand” (1.3.4)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the earring. Create a connection between the “Clock hand”
and the “Earring” images in your imagination.

1.3.5. Distinctive feature “Hair”. Holly Marie Combs

The support image is “Clock stand” (1.3.5)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the hair. Create a connection between the “Alarm clock stand”
and the “Hair” images in your imagination.

1.4.1. Distinctive feature “Beard”. Brian Michael Cox

The support image is “Teakettles’ handle” (1.4.1)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the beard. Create a connection between the “Teakettle’s
handle” and the “Beard” images in your imagination.

1.4.2. Distinctive feature “Cap”. George Washington Carver

The support image is “Lid” (1.4.2)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the cap. Create a connection between the “Teakettles’ lid” and
the “Cap” images in your imagination.

1.4.3. Distinctive feature “Shoulders”. Nancy Jessica Parker

The support image is “Whistle” (1.4.3)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the shoulders. Create a connection between the “Whistle” and
the “Shoulders” images in your imagination.

1.4.4. Distinctive feature “Bangs”. Pamela Sue Martin

The support image is “Teakettles’ spout” (1.4.4)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the bangs. Create a connection between the “Teakettles’
spout” and the “Bangs” images in your imagination.

1.4.5. Distinctive feature “Tie”. Steven Curtis Chapman

The support image is “Teakettles’ body” (1.4.5)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the tie. Create a connection between the “Teakettles’ body”
and the “Tie” images in your imagination.

1.5.1. Distinctive feature “Ear”. Francis Ford Coppola

The support image is “Spout” (1.5.1)

Attentively scrutinize the portrait and note the ear. Create a connection between the “Spout” and the
“Ear” images in your imagination.

Now you can check how your brain generates generalized face images by the memorized distinctive
features.

Mentally enter the support image system beginning from the “Door” image. Concentrate your attention
on the number plate on the door. Begin remembering support images and you will instantly recall from
where the faces begin: (Radio) Radio strap, Antenna, Loudspeaker, Tuning scale, Tuning handle,
(Electric guitar) Tone regulators, Fingerboard, Pick-up, Bridge, Output jack, (Alarm clock) Alarm
clock button, Bells, Clock Dial.

Hand – earring (remember the face)
Alarm clock stand – hair (remember the face) (pass on to the teakettle)
Handle – beard (remember the face)
Lid - cap (remember the face)
Whistle - shoulders (remember the face)
Spout - bangs (remember the face) (pass on to the daisy image)
Body – ear (remember the face)

You feel that the following images are now empty.

You will be able to remember faces by distinctive features not only consecutively but also in a random
order. Any association element (shown to your brain as a stimulus) causes the full association to appear
in your imagination.

MEMORIZING NAMES

Last names, first names and middle names are all one information message containing three elements.
Since first names and middle names often repeat, they belong to figurative codes. Consequently, first
names and middle names are always association elements. An association base is always an image that
represents the last name.

Now you will connect last names, first names and middle names into an association. Connect each
association to a distinctive feature representing a person.

Thus, a distinctive feature will have three functions.

THREE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES FUNCTIONS

1. A distinctive feature causes a generalized persons image (face) to appear in your imagination.

School of Phenomenal Memory® GMS by Email © 2006, All rights reserved www.Pmemory.com

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

2. Distinctive features are easy to memorize consecutively (for example, on a sequence of support

images).

3. Additional information about a person is connected to a distinctive feature. In the simplest case

this is an association encoding the last name, the first name and the middle name.

Last names are encoded into images and image combinations (compound bases) using the Method of
Clue Associations. Figurative codes are chosen arbitrarily for names. The principle for choosing
figurative codes for names is seen in the examples.

1.3.4. (Clock hand) + "Earring". Louisa May Alcott

Louisa – LOUse (big sized louse)
May - Civil War Memorial (figurative code reference book)
Alcott – fALCOn

Create the following association: the memorial on the head of the louse and a falcon is on the back.
Connect the association base to a distinctive feature: earring + louse.

1.3.5. (Alarm clock stand) + "Hair". Holly Marie Combs

Holly – “Hollywood” sign
Marie – MARInated Broccoli
Combs – cataCOMBS

(An underground tunnel with recesses where bodies were buried)

(Skeleton)

Create the following association: Broccoli on “H” letter and skeleton inside of “O” letter. Connect the
association base with a distinctive feature: hair + “Hollywood” sign.

1.4.1. (Handle) + "Beard". Brian Michael Cox

Brian – BRIAr

(=brier)

Michael – Michael Jackson’s shining glove
Cox – fox

Create a connection: a shining glove is placed on the top of a briars’ berry and a fox at the bottom.
Connect the association base and the distinctive feature: a briars’ berry in the beard.

(Note how long it takes to describe a situation in words and how easy it is to do with visual images in
your imagination. Information in images is encoded in more compact ways than in words.)

1.4.2. (Teakettles’ lid) + "Cap". George Washington Carver

George – (geo – piGEOn, rge – baRGE) – pigeon with the barge instead of a beak
Washington – Whitehouse building
Carver – woodcarver – wood cutter

Create a connection: a pigeon with the barge instead of a beak has the Whitehouse building on his head
and a wood cutter pierced through his body. Place the pigeon in the cap.

1.4.3. (Whistle) + "Shoulders". Nancy Jessica Parker

background image

Nancy – fiNANCial – pack of banknotes
Jessica – JESter
Parker – “no parking” sign

Create an association: on the pack of banknotes is sitting a jester and the pack is pierced by a “no
parking” sign. Connect the association base and the distinctive feature: a pack on a shoulder.

1.4.4. (Teakettle’s Spout) + "Bangs". Pamela Sue Martin

Pamela – bra (Pamela Anderson)
Sue – tisSUE
Martin – Martini

Create an association: peace of tissue on the left side of the bra and a bottle of Martini on the right side.
Fix the association onto the distinctive feature: bangs + bra.

1.4.5. (Teakettles’ body) + "Tie". Steven Curtis Chapman

Stevenseven (seven made from plastic)
Curtis – curtains
Chapman – man made from clay with the chap (crack) in the middle

Create an association: Curtains are on the top of “Seven” and the clay-man at the bottom. Connect the
association base and the distinctive feature: tie + “seven”.

1.5.1. (Pumps’ spout) + "Ear". Francis Ford Coppola

Francis – France – Eiffel Tower
Ford - car
Copolla – cupola

Create an association: car on the top of the Eiffel Tower and cupola at the bottom. Fix the association
onto the distinctive feature: Eiffel Tower is in the ear.

Recall images and associations beginning from the “Clock hand” support image. Recreate the peoples’
faces, last names, first names and middle names by the images. Achieve faultless remembering. Do not
try to memorize last names and first names directly. You will fail if you have a large information volume
but images can be memorized precisely in any quantity even without breaking the sequence. If you use
the information, last names and first names will be fixed in your memory in their initial (word) form.
They will also be accessible for consecutive memorization in image form.

MEMORIZING PHONE NUMBERS

When you memorize phone numbers, an association base is always the image representing the “owner”
of the phone number (a person or an organization). Numbers of a phone number are association elements.

Average phone numbers are described here. Variations of this technique will be described on examples in
other lessons.

Any numerical array is broken into elements (combinations of three- and two-digit numbers). Other
division is not rational (dividing into four- or one-digit numbers). Three-digit numbers are best encoded

School of Phenomenal Memory® GMS by Email © 2006, All rights reserved www.Pmemory.com

background image

into images using the figurative code reference book. Two-digit number figurative codes must be learned
by heart.

If you do not have the reference book with you, you can encode a three-digit number by modifying a
two-digit number figurative code.

126 - TaPe (26) – “1” is ignored: if you first see a two-digit number figurative code, “1” should
simply be added.

235 – two BeeRs (35)

337 – three BeDs (37)

469 – four JuiCes (69)

You can use combinations of letters (an adjective + a two-digit number figurative code) beginning from
five. An adjective is chosen by the first cipher of the three-digit number.

535 – Filthy BeeR (5 + 35)

770 – Shining DoMino (7 + 70)

784 – Silver GuaVa (7 + 84)

881 – Giant GauNtlet (8 + 81)

125 – Nickel HaRe (9 + 25)

It is recommended to use the figurative code reference book since it is very important that figurative
codes for the same numbers remain the same.

If you do not have the reference book in your proximity, you can select an image for three-image
numbers arbitrarily. But when you get home, rewrite a phone number using the image from the reference
book. Three-digit number figurative codes will be memorized gradually as they are used practically for
memorizing phone numbers, dates, codes and other numerical information.

1.5.2. “Ward” cinema (a movie theatre) - 339-26-00

The support image is “Pump’s Top Handle” (1.5.2)

Information contains four elements:

Ward

,

339, 26, and 00.

tank). Select three parts in the tank: gun, top and back. Create three connections:

Gun - BoBCat (339)
Top – TaPe (26)
Back – two casks (00)

Connect the association to the support image: Pumps’ Top Handle + “Tank”.

Information contains five elements (each element is an image code):

15, September, Kristine, 28

,

Peter

.

"

Metal ring

" is the association base.

Create connections:

metal ring

+

Protractor

(September). This connection means that the data related to

September is fixed on the “ring” image. In this case you used the technique of representing a random
image with a figurative code.

You need to fix four more elements, but there are no free images left. In this case you should use the
“Free association technique”, which is used for fast creation of extra support images.

THE FREE ASSOCIATION TECHIQUE

The principle of this technique is seen on an example. Teaspoon – cup – saucer – jam – jam jar. Different
images have stable interrelations. A person always perceives images in certain combinations. These
connections are already in the brain and do not need to be memorized on purpose. These images are used
as auxiliary support images.

Let’s get additional support images for the “Metal ring” image. Let it be “pliers”. You need two
additional images to fix information “15 - Kristine”. Select two images from the “Pliers”: “Top part” and
“Bottom part.”

The “Top part” image will be the base for “15” and “Kristine” images.
The “Bottom part” image will be the base for “28” and “Peter” images.

Create connections:

Top part of the pliers – NaRcissus (15)
Connection part – Kristine – cross

Remember images once again.

You see “Protractor” (September figurative code) on the “Metal ring” support image. You remember the
additional image, “pliers”. The pliers are deconstructed in two parts: top part (nippers) and bottom part
(handle). The first association (15 - Kristine) is fixed on the “nippers” image; the second one is fixed on
the “handle” image.

2.2.1. JULY: 11 - Tom, 17 – Jordan

The support image is "Headphones upper ark" (2.2.1)

The information contains 5 elements. Each element is a figurative code. Association bases are introduced
artificially. The “Headphones upper ark” will be an association base for the “Firework” image. Create a
connection:

Headphones upper ark

+

firework

(July)

We get additional images from the “Headphones upper ark” image: head and mouth.

The "

head

" image will be an association base for the "

Create connections (head):

Forehead – oNioN (11)
cheek – animated cat (Tom & Jerry cartoon) (Tom)

Create connections (mouth):

Teeth – NeeDle (17)
Tongue – basketball ball (Jordan)

2.2.2. MARCH: 3 - Maria, 13 – Brandon Lee, 17 - Spears, 19 - "Crystal" (nickname), 21 –

ANECDOTES

Anecdotes are the simplest type of textual information. Memorization of textual information will be
described in detail in the “Text Memorization” course.

Precise information is practically never encountered in anecdotes, which makes memorization a lot
easier. You need to learn to fix a sequence of anecdotes in your memory in order to memorize them.
Anecdotes themselves are memorized unintentionally since the perceived textual information is
automatically fixed by the brain thanks to images appearing in your imagination under the stimulating
influence of words.

INFORMATION COMPRESSION METHOD

We can efficiently memorize images by creating connections between them using GMS methods. That is
why a textual extract need to be transformed into a visual image. Text extract is sort of “compressed”
into a handy visual image to memorize.

Let’s look into this on an example. We need to transform the following anecdote into a visual image.

- What is the best way to teach a girl to swim?
- Gently hold her waist with your left hand, take her left hand and hold it firmly, then…
- Idiot! I am speaking about my sister!
- Why didn’t you tell me so straight away? Just push her off the bridge!

DO NOT TRY TO MEMORIZE TEXTUAL INFORMATION WORD BY WORD. THIS
CONTRADICTS THE NATURAL PRINCIPLES OF HOW THE MEMORY WORKS.

A person always memorizes texts and retells it approximately on the base of visual images fixed in their
memory. When you retell a story, the most important thing is to explain the concept, not to provide the
precise wording.

CONCEPT consists of a combination of spatially organized visual images that appears in the human
imagination when we perceive textual information. Words are only a means of communication, a way of
transmitting images from one brain to another.

Different word combinations can have the same concept. “A basket with oranges is sitting on a chair”.
“Oranges lie in a basket sitting on a chair”.

First you need to select the essence, the main idea and concept from a textual extract. In other words, you
need to name the anecdote.

The above-mentioned anecdote can be called “How to teach your sister to swim”. A short textual extract
is compressed into one phrase according to which you will be able to recreate the anecdote in full. This
operation is called “Singling out a concept support”.

But we cannot memorize a phrase directly, without words. That is why the next operation is representing
an anecdote with an informative visual image. In this case this might possibly be “Ring-buoy”. The
chosen visual image has to be as informative as possible (we speak about a sister who cannot swim and
will be thrown into water) and handy to memorize, that is, handy to manipulate in your imagination.

It is important to note that the process of encoding anecdotes into visual images has to be performed
independently. It is only in this case that you will be able to encode images efficiently, that is, to
remember anecdote names and the anecdotes themselves by images.

When you repeat anecdotes by memory (remember them), you can repeat them almost identically. The
more often you remember them, the more precisely they will be reproduced. But this should not be the
objective.

In order to economize support images you will memorize five anecdotes onto one support image. Thus,
in order to fix 10 anecdotes in your memory, you need two support images (wire and plastic part of a
jack).

Let’s transform each anecdote into a visual image.

2.2.3. About a stingy Scotsman.

Phone conversation with Australia.
How to teach your sister to swim.
Two dancing hippos.
A secretary being late.

The support image is “Headphone wire” (2.2.3)

A Scotsman reads a book. He dims the light from time to time and then switches it on again.

- What are you doing? – Asks his wife.
- I can turn the pages in darkness.

A director talking to his secretary:

- Helen, could you please go and see why Mr. Harris is screaming so loud?
- I guess he is talking to Australia.
- Can’t he use a phone for this?

- What is the best way to teach a girl to swim?
- Gently hold her waist with your left hand, take her left hand and hold it firmly, then…
- Idiot! I am speaking about my sister!
- Why didn’t you tell me so straight away? Just push her off the bridge!

Two hippos dance.

- Do you love me? – one asks.
- Sure! It is only you that I dance with tonight!
- This is not proof!
- Not proof? You should see yourself!

A director asks his secretary:

- Are you busy this Sunday?
- No, I’m free, - she says blushing.
- Then try to be at work on time on Monday.

Let’s give these anecdotes names and represent the names with visual images.

About a stingy Scotsman – an image of a table lamp with a lampshade in Burberry.
Phone conversation with Australia – kangaroo image with a megaphone.
How to teach a sister to swim – a life-buoy image.
Two hippos dancing – image of two hippos.
Secretary always being late – an image of a broken heart.

Connect the images representing the anecdotes using the "Chain" technique. The first image of the
sequence should be connected with the “Wire branches” image.

Create connections:

Wire branches – table lamp with a lampshade made from a Scottish kilt;
Table lamp – a kangaroo with a megaphone;
Kangaroo – ring buoy;
Ring buoy – two hippos;
Two hippos – a broken heart.

2.2.4. ...first he created Heaven and Earth...

...I spill more...
Polite chemist
Angel in boots
Happy New Year on 30 May

The support image is “Plastic jack part” (2.2.4)

John came to visit a psychiatrist.

- I know who you are and what you do from your paperwork. But before I get on to a

profound cure, I need to know what kind of person you really are. I want you to be as
sincere as possible with me and tell me about your life from the very beginning.

John coughed and began:

- First I created Heaven and Earth.

A person comes into a waiting room with shaking hands.

- You drink a lot? – Asks the doctor.
- No, not really. I spill much more.

A customers walks out of a drugstore. Suddenly the chemist runs out and shouts:

- Sir! You have been given potassium cyanide instead of calcium nitrate. You need to pay an

extra $0.20, please.

A priest talks to a painter:

- You are insane! Have you seen angels in boots?
- Have you seen angels without boots?

A young man congratulates his parents on the New Year.

- Are you OK? It is only May 30 today!
- Yes, but I’ve been held back a year!

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES

2.2.5. Rivers of South America: Amazon, Madeira, Atrato, Tocantins, Magdalena, Rio Negro,

Paraná, Uruguay, Orinoco, and Sao Francisco.

The support image is “Jack” (2.2.5)

INFORMATION BLOCK

You can memorize the name of each river onto a separate support image. In this case you will need many
support images to memorize many rivers. You can compile blocks in order to economize support images.
Each block is fixed on only one support image.

The simplest variant for an information block is a consecutive connection of several associations. If you
connect several associations directly, you should create connections between the bases of different
associations using the “Russian Doll” technique.

You will now memorize names of large rivers of South America as the simplest information block and
fix the block on the following support image.

The general memorization scheme is as follows. Every name is transformed into a visual image or a
combination of images (association). Associations representing names are connected using the “Russian
Doll” technique by their bases. The first association of this sequence is fixed on new support images.

Let’s now transform the river names into images (or associations).

Amazon – a female warrior
Madeira – MADE in IRAq - Saddam Hussein Statue with big label (made in Iraq) on it.
Atrato – hATRAck (base) + TOe
Tocantins – TOy + CANTeen – toy canteen
Magdalena – MAGnet (base) + gALENA

(Galena - soft blue-gray mineral)

Rio Negro - RIce (base) + NEGRO – black rice
Paraná – piranha (by consonance)
Uruguay – dURUm (base) + GUAva

(Durum - Wheat with hard dark-colored kernels

high in gluten and used for bread and pasta)

Orinoco – Oreo cookies (by consonance)
Sao Francisco – SAfe + FRANCe (the Eiffel Tower) – the Eiffel Tower in the safe.

Let’s connect all the association bases using the “Russian Doll” technique. You need to connect
association bases in pairs and select (enlarge) a sub image in every pair. Then connect the second image
to the selected part of the first image.

Amazon + Madeira – in the Amazon women’s nose - statue of Saddam Hussein
Madeira + Atrato – on the Hussein statue’s medal place a hat-rack
Atrato + Tocantins – on the hat-rack place a toy canteen
Tocantins + Magdalena – on the canteen’s spout – ribbon, on the ribbon place a magnet made from
galena
Magdalena + Rio Negro – on the magnet place black rice
Rio Negro + Paraná – on the rice - piranha
Paraná + Uruguay – in the piranha’s mouth - durum

Connect the first name of a sequence with the following support image. Create a connection in your
imagination: headphone jack + Amazon.

View the images and associations in your imagination beginning from the “Headphone jack” support
image. Recreate the river names by the remembered pictures. Create the lost connections once again.

TERMS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION

When you memorize names you only need to fix word parts (names) as images. Names have no
interpretation. All the names used in the previous exercise are names of rivers in South America and this
does not have to be memorized intentionally.

When you memorize terms the task is much more difficult. You need to memorize both the pronunciation
and the concept of the word (interpretation, wording).

Here are ten astronomy terms used as an example.

Support images: (TV-Set) Double antenna on the top, Screen, Buttons, Stand, Power jack, (Table lamp)
Lampshade, Lamp, Electric unit, Stand, Foundation.

2.3.1. ECLIPTIC is the apparent path of the Sun during a year as seen from Earth or a plane of

the Earth’s rotation around the Sun.

The support image is “Double antenna” (2.3.1)

Transform the word into an association: E + CLIP (tic is ignored) – a videocassette with the “E” letter on
it. This picture will remind you of the term pronunciation.

Fix the cassette on the “Double antenna” support image.

Term memorization was similar to name memorization up to this moment. Now you need to memorize
the interpretation. The trick is that one and the same image (representing the word “Ecliptic”) is situated
both on a support image and in an association representing the interpretation.

Interpretation memorization:

Imagine the line of horizon and number 2005 written on the left. 2006 is written on the right. An image
of a videocassette (representing the word “Ecliptic”) is moving slowly by an ark trajectory. The cassette
must be the same as on the “Double antenna” image. This association means “Annual trajectory of the
Sun in the sky”.

Imagine a thin disc (circle) with the Sun in the middle of it and “Videocassette” moving on its perimeter.
This picture represents the “plane of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun”. An image of Earth will be
replaced with the “Videocassette” image representing the word “Ecliptic”.

Thus, you have three associations:

An image of a videocassette on the “Double antenna” support image (ecliptic);

A videocassette image moving from left to right of the horizon;

background image

A videocassette image moving on the perimeter of the disc around the Sun.

The first association fixes the pronunciation and the sequence of the word “Ecliptic”. The two other
associations fix the concept of the term. Let’s call them “concept associations”.

Every concept association contains an image representing the word. Concept associations are not fixed
on support images. They exist in the brain separately and are only remembered when you remember the
“Ecliptic” image on the “Double antenna” support image.

Memorize other terms and interpretations by analogy.

2.3.2 CEPHEID is a type of pulsating star that regularly changes its brilliance over a period of

several days.

The support image is “Screen” (2.3.2)

The memorization task is broken into three parts. Encode the pronunciation of the word. Connect this
association with the following support image. Create a concept association that would allow recreating
the wording (include an image representing the term in this association).

Cepheid – sCEPtre + EIDer – scepter with metal eider on the top.

(Eider - Duck of the northern hemisphere

much valued for the fine soft down of the females)

Fix the image on the support image: sceptre on the TV screen.

Creating a concept association: a star pulsates; sometimes it shines, sometimes – not. On the star place
the sceptre.

2.3.3. PULSAR is a neutron star that radiates a fast sequence of radio waves.

The support image is “Buttons” (2.3.3)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: PULSAR – pulse – display showing a heart beat. If
a word is familiar, it can be encoded partially. It is enough to denote a part of the word with an image.

Fixation on a support image: a display on the button.

Creating a concept association: a ThRONe decorated with a STAR and all covered with NEUrons (nerve
cells), with an antenna radiating radio waves on an elbow-rest. Display is “sitting” on the throne
(association representing a “pulsar”).

2.3.4. PROTUBERANCE is a stream of hot gas, similar to a flame, coming out from the Sun’s

surface.

The support image is “Stand” (2.3.4)

Encoding the word pronunciation: PRO (projector) + TUBE + RANCE (range – cowboy hat). On the
back of projector place a tube and on the projectors lens place a cowboy hat.

Fixation on the support image: Stand + projector.

Creating a concept association: the Sun seen through a black magnifying glass, with massive outflow of
gas and flame and projector burning in this flame

2.3.5. PARSEC is a unit of length used in astronomy; equal to 3.2616 light years.

The support image is “Power jack” (2.3.5)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: SECond clock hand on the PARcel

Fixation on the support image: parcel in the power jack.

Creating a concept association: a small parcel with the second hand on it at the end of ruler

Interpretation fixation: select three parts in the “Hand” image: first part – Bull (3), second part - TaPe
(26) and NiPpers (16) on the third part.

2.4.1. THE KUIPER BELT is the area of the solar system extending from the orbit of Neptune

where larger masses of icy bodies are capable of becoming comets.

The support image is “Lampshade“(2.4.1)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: KUI (Q) + PER (PERfume) + belt. Belt’s buckle
has “Q” design and perfume is in the belt’s hole.

Fixation on the support image: lampshade (base) + belt.

Creating a concept association: Imagine a solar system with the Sun in the center and the 9 planets. The
eighth’s planet (Neptune) is represented with the "Trident" image. Ring of large ice cubes fly behind the
planet, crash, leave their orbits and begin flying on a stretched orbit around the Sun through the solar
system. Each ice cube has a belt on it. These cubes flying on a circumference around Neptune are Kuiper
belt.

2.4.2. QUASAR is an outstandingly powerful shining remote galaxy that looks like a star.

The support image is “Light bulb” (2.4.2)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: QUA + SAR – QUArtz SARcophagus.

Fixation on the support image: a sarcophagus on the light bulb.

Creating a concept association: open sarcophagus. You can see inside a thin spiral (galaxy) in a mist and
a bright point shining very deep inside (star).

2.4.3. DWARF STAR is an old compressed star that has run out of fuel in its central area and is

gradually dying.

The support image is “Electric unit” (2.4.3)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: imagine a dwarf on a star

Fixation on the support image: mentally place the dwarf in the electric unit of a lamp.

Creating a concept association: a dwarf holding an old exploded ball (old star). Since several astronomy
notions are memorized in a row, you know that it concerns astronomy and you will easily remember
what this old ball represents. Other wording parts are not important. Why does a star die? Because it has
no fuel left. What is this fuel? It is probably nuclear fuel, not gasoline. It is not necessary to memorize the
full wording, what is important is that you fix an image that makes it possible to distinguish one word
from others.

2.4.4 ACCRETION DISC is a disc formed from the substance accumulated around a rotating

star.

The support image is “Lamp stand” (2.4.4)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: ACCumulator + secRETION + Disc

Fixation on the support image: lamp stand + accumulator

Creating a concept association: imagine Saturn (with rings around) and see the rings as many
accumulators.

2.4.5. LIGHT YEAR is the distance that a ray of light covers in one year and is equal 9 460 000

000 000 kilometres (9460 billion kilometres).

The support is “Foundation” (2.4.5)

Encoding the word pronunciation into an association: a calendar page (year) with a built-in flash-light.

Fixation on the support image: a calendar lying on the foundation.

Memorization of numerical data: the association base is the calendar, elements – CaViar (94) and PuMa
(60).

Task:

Achieve faultless anamnesis of the associations created while performing the exercises of this lesson.
Check whether you can recreate information by the images fixed in your memory. Achieve exact and
consecutive anamnesis of the information. You do not need to reproduce the wording word by word; the
principal is to explain the concept of the wording.

Task:

Remember the information fixed on the support images form 1.1.1 to 2.4.5 whenever you have time.

Master the three repetition techniques with complete decoding of this data, as well as viewing support
images and associations bases, repetition with inner speech (names and terms) and mental drawing
(numbers and signs).

Task:

Continue training by the “Memorization Master” program. Set the amount of memorized numbers to 70.
If you manage to achieve standard values of speed and mistakes in the “Training” regime, memorize the
numbers in the “Examine” regime (the memorization results are summarized as “The memorization skill
increase coefficient”).

«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 18

COMPLICATED SIGNS

Let’s understand the technique for memorizing signs on an example of several symbols of the Japanese
“Hiragana” alphabet. It contains 46 signs.

2.5.1.

KU

HI

U

I

2.5.1 The “Flower leaf” support image

In order to economize support images, memorize several symbols on one support image. Memorize all
four signs on the “Flower Leaf” support image. You will memorize four more signs on the following
support image (2.5.2, “Flower stem”).

These eight signs need to be memorized really precisely since they will be used in examples for
memorizing Japanese words using the phonetic figurative codes.

First you need to memorize the names of the signs (their pronunciation) by choosing the words
containing the necessary sounds:

KU - KUkri; HI – HIve; U - Ufo; I - Ivy.

(Kukri - a heavy curved knife or short sword used by Gurkhas)

Fix a short sequence of images on the support image and connect them using the “Chain” technique. Use
the following connections to memorize them:

Flower leaf + KUkri
KUkri + HIve
HIve + Ufo (UFO - aliens star-ship);
Ufo + Ivy (UFO covered with green ivy)

Fix the created connections by viewing them repeatedly in your imagination.

Now it is necessary to connect the word pronunciation and the writing (graphic representation). You need
to connect images of sound and sign in your imagination. The sign has to be three dimensional. If a sign
is complicated, imagine each part of it in three dimensions.

Create the following connections:

1. Imagine a kukri and attach a short bent piece of wire to it (“KU” sign). Scrutinize the images in your
imagination.

2. Imagine the “HI” sign as a horseshoe. Connect the hive (the first image of the pair) and a horseshoe in
your imagination.

3. Imagine a UFO and sew through it with red thread so that the stitching resembles the “U” sign.

4. Imagine parts of the “I” sign made of thick wire. Connect ivy and these three-dimensional parts of the
sign in your imagination.

Perform controlled remembering. Remember the images hinting at sign pronunciation beginning from the
“Flower leaf’ support image. On those images you will see images hinting at sign writing.

2.5.2.

SE

TO

TA

MI

2.5.2 The “Flower stem” support stem

SE - SEal; TO – TOad; TA - TAilpipe; MI - MIssile.

Memorize the sign pronunciation. Create the following connections in your imagination:

Flower stem + SEal;
SEal + TOad;
TOad + TAilpipe;
TAilpipe + MIssile;

View the created connections in your imagination.

To memorize a sign means to intentionally connect the image hinting at the sign pronunciation with the
image hinting at the word spelling. First, you will remember signs by the created images. As you repeat
them, the connection between the sign and the pronunciation will be fixed and later the sign graphic
image will instantly make the name and the spelling appear in your memory.

In order to create a direct reflex connection between sign writing and its pronunciation you need 3 to 4
days of mental repetition due to the consecutive memorization of signs.

Connect the sign writing and the names.

The way the “SE” sign is written reminds one of a shelf. Imagine the shelf in three dimensions and place
an image of seal on it (which hints at the pronunciation).

The way the “TO” sign is written is similar to a hook of a crane. Superpose images of a toad and the
hook in your imagination.

Imagine the “TA” sign made of wire. Shove an image of a wire cross into a tailpipe.

The writing of the “MI” reminds of the way “H” letter is written. Imagine a three-dimensional letter and
connect it to the “missile” image in your imagination.

Perform controlled remembering. View the images representing the sign names and writing in your
imagination.

HOW TO MEMORIZE SIGNS INTO LONG-TERM MEMORY

Connections between visual images are created fast. But signs are inconvenient to use in this form. To fix
signs in your memory means to create a reflex connection between a graphic writing and pronunciation.

background image

Reflex connections between different analytic systems are created in matter of several days. Perform the
following operations to fix signs whenever you have time.

1. Remember a combination of images that hints at writing and pronunciation of a sign. Get rid of

the auxiliary picture in your imagination and draw the sign and say its name. Do this several
times with each sign.

2. Make name-plates where you will place signs in random order, or cards with signs. Train yourself

to recognize signs quickly by the writing and by the name. High recognition speed is a proof of an
established reflex connection between the writing and the name. New signs perceived in random
order must be recognized just as easily as English letters.

FOREIGN WORDS

In order to memorize the pronunciation of new foreign words we use two main techniques. The technique
for memorizing new foreign words will be precisely described during the “Foreign words
memorization technique
”. We will now only describe two word memorization techniques.

THE FIRST TECHNIQUE

One of the memorization techniques is using consonant English words. Let’s see how it works on an
example.

2.5.3. AKAI - red

HON - book
NIWA - garden

KUBI - neck

2.5.3 The “Soil in a pot” support image

First it is necessary to memorize the concept of the words. Different nations think with the same visual
images but name them with different words. The concept (meaning) of a word is a visual image
represented with a word.

Let’s select meaning-images for the memorized words.

Red is represented with a “Red flag” image.
Book is represented with a “Book” image.
Garden is represented with a “Garden bench” image.
Autumn is represented with a “Yellow maple leaf” image.
Look is represented with a “Binocular” image.
Send is represented with a “Mailbox” image.
Neck is represented with a “Neck” image.

In order to memorize images you need to create the following connections in your imagination (one
support image per short image sequence). The first connection is created using the “Chain” technique and
the following – using the “Russian Doll” technique.

Soil in a pot + red flag (the flag stuck in soil);
Red flag + book on the zoomed part of flag - book);

background image

Book + garden bench (in the corner of the cover of the book - bench);
Garden bench + yellow maple leaf (a leaf on the bench foundation);
Yellow maple leaf + binocular (binocular on the sharp end of the leaf);
Binocular + mailbox (a mailbox on the lens of the binocular);
Mailbox + neck (neck seen in the mailbox slot).

Remember the images and reproduce the English version of the words.

Now you need to connect an image hinting at the pronunciation for each meaning-image. The
pronunciation must be fixed in your memory.

The first pronunciation memorization technique consists in using a familiar word similar to the original
one:

Akai – “Akai” tape recorder;
Hon – “Honda” car model;
Niwa – “Biwa” image;
Aki – “KHaki” uniform;
Miru – “Mirror” image;
Okuru – OKU (hoOKUp) + RU (RUg) – rug covered with wires.

biwa

Kubi – “Cube” image.

Connecting a meaning-image with images hinting at their pronunciation is performed using the
associative connection creation technique. Meaning-image is an association base and the pronunciation-
image is an association element.

Create the following associations:

“Akai” tape recorder on the red flag (association base);
“Honda” car model on the book (association base);
“Biwa” image on the garden bench (association base);
“Khaki” uniform on the autumn leaf (association base);
“Mirror” image on the binocular (association base);
“Rug with wires” on the mailbox (association base)
“Cube” image on the neck (association base).

Remember the association sequence and recreate the word meaning and pronunciation beginning from
the “Soil in a pot” image.

THE SECOND TECHNIQUE

The second pronunciation memorization technique is pronunciation memorization using the phonetic
figurative codes. Pronunciation of every English word can be described with 48 transcription signs.
Pronunciation of every Japanese word can be described with 46 Hiragana signs.

You can very precisely fix word pronunciation with transcription or Hiragana signs on a meaning-image
that is an association base. The signs themselves cannot be memorized by the brain. That is why you
need to find a visual image for each sign. A set of such images is called a phonetic figurative code.

Examples of phonetic figurative codes are the images you memorized in this lesson: kukri, hive, UFO,
ivy, seal, toad, tailpipe, and missile.

When you memorize pronunciation using phonetic figurative codes, a meaning-image is always an
association base and phonetic figurative codes are association elements. Before you use the phonetic
figurative codes they must be learned by heart.

2.5.4. HITO - person

UTAU - sing
ITAI - hurts
SEITO - pupil
IKU - walk
MISE - shop

2.5.4 The “Pot” support image.

First memorize the word meanings by creating the following connections in your imagination. The first
connection is created using the “Chain” technique and the rest – using the “Russian Doll” technique.
Note that if you connect several associations directly, association bases are always connected using the
“Russian Doll” technique. This is a general rule of the “Giordano” memorization system.

Encoding:

Person – a person image;
Sing – a “Microphone” image;
Hurts – an image of a bandage;
Pupil – an image of a blackboard;
Walk – a “Footprint” image;
Shop – a “Shop” image.

Create connections:

Pot + person (a person sitting on a pot);
Person + microphone (a microphone in a person’s hand);
Microphone + bandage (bandage on the enlarged wire);
Bandage + blackboard (enlarged bandage and blackboard on it);
Blackboard + footprint (a footprint on the enlarged blackboard part);
Footprint + shop (a shop on the nail of a toe).

Now create associations where a meaning-image is the base and phonetic image codes are elements that
encode pronunciation like a dictionary:

A person + (hive \HI\, toad \TO\) – hive on the head and toad by the person’s legs;

A microphone + (UFO \U\, tailpipe \TA\, UFO \U\) – select three parts in the microphone image and
create three connections between the microphone parts and the phonetic figurative codes;

Bandage + (ivy \I\, tailpipe \TA\ ivy \I\) – select three parts in the bandage image and create three
connections between the bandage parts and the phonetic figurative codes;

Blackboard + (seal \SE\, ivy \I\ toad \TO\) - select three parts in the blackboard image and create three
connections between the blackboard parts and the phonetic figurative codes;

background image

Footprint + (ivy \I\ kukri \KU\) – select two parts and connect them with the “ivy” and the “kukri”
images;

Shop + (missile \MI\ seal \SE\) – a missile on the roof of the shop and a seal in the door;

View the created connections in your imagination and achieve faultless remembering of the images;
recreate the word meaning and pronunciation in Japanese.

If the phonetic figurative codes are learned well, you will be able to remember the writing using the
Hiragana alphabet together with pronunciation remembering.

Remember the words once again and write them in Japanese. Check for errors in your remembering.

Hito - person

utau - sing

itai - hurts

seito - pupil

iku - walk

mise - shop

NEW WORD FIXATION

New word fixation has two stages. First you “capture” a word sequence, their meaning and pronunciation
using images. After primary memorization you are able to reproduce dozens of words by memory. Then
follows the second stage which is the word fixation stage. Exercises on word fixation in your memory
need to be performed without the support of external information sources and only done by memory.

To memorize a foreign word means to create a reflex connection between meaning-image and the name
in the foreign language. A reflex connection is formed slowly over a period of several days. After you
have created a connection an image will automatically cause the word pronunciation to appear in your
head and the word pronunciation will then make the image appear in your imagination. Consequently,
words will be understood directly as images, without translation into your native tongue.

Exercises on word fixation in your memory:

Remember a sequence of “meaning images” and read images hinting at pronunciation from them.

Imagine a “meaning image” distinctively and say the image name in the foreign language in the
background.

Imagine a “meaning image” distinctively and draw the image sign with Japanese letters in the
background.

Train yourself to recognize letters in random order (with control of recognition speed). A random
word order can be obtained by using cards.

Make up combinations of words, phrases, sentences, dialogues, and short stories using the words.

Complex use of foreign word memorization technique will be looked at in the “Foreign word
memorization technique
” course.

Task:

Train yourself to remember information recorded on the images from 1.1.1 to 2.5.4 whenever you have
time. Master the repetition technique with complete decoding; fast viewing of support images and
association bases, repetition with mental speech and drawing (signs, foreign words, and figurative codes)
on these examples.

Task:

Continue training on the “Memorization Master” program. Set the amount of memorized numbers to 80
two-digit numbers.

«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 19

Repeat the support image that you will memorize the exercises onto:

Clothes washer

3.1.1. Screen
3.1.2. Buttons
3.1.3. Coin hole
3.1.4. Lid
3.1.5. Inside container

Cell phone

3.2.1. Antenna
3.2.2. Speaker

The “Clothes washer – cell phone …” sequence is connected to the third image (door handle) of the
“Door” image.

CONSTANT VALUES

3.1.1. Elementary charge: e = 1.60 х 10 (-19) C (coulomb)

3.1.1 – “Screen” support image

THE FINDING REGULARITY TECHNIQUE

This technique is used to simplify the memorized information. There are always repeated elements in
monotype data and these elements do not need to be memorized. The omitted elements are added when
remembering.

There are always repeated elements in constant values: the equals sign; the decimal point after the first
number; the multiplication sign, and the number 10.

After you have deleted the repeated elements, the memorized information will look as follows”

e --- 160 --- "-" --- 19 --- C

The information contains 5 elements. The association base is “Elementary charge (e)”.

Encoding elements into images:

Elementary charge (association base) – a pack of dynamite;
160 – uNcooked oPiuM;
minus sign(-) – knitting needle;
19 – NeCktie;
Coulomb – statue of Columbus

MENTAL DRAWING TECHNIQUE

The technique is used to memorize simple signs. See the image of “A pack of dynamite” and mentally
draw an “e” on it. Draw as if you were writing with chalk on a blackboard. When you will remember the

background image

image, your brain will automatically draw the sign on it (a connection is created between the visual and
movement analyzers).

Create an association. Consequently select four sub images in the “Pack of dynamite” image and create
four separate connections:

The first base part + uNcooked oPiuM;
The second base part + knitting needle;
The third base part + NeCktie;
The fourth base part + Columbus statue.

Connect the association base with the following support image: a pack of dynamite on the screen.

3.1.2. Mass of an electron: m (e) = 9.11 х 10 (-31) kg

3.1.2 The “Buttons” support images

There are five elements left after the repeated element deletion:

m (e) --- 911 --- "-" --- 31 --- kg

The association base is “mass of electron”.

Encoding elements into images:

Mass of electron - cannon-ball on the scales;
911 – CaNNon;
minus sign (-) – knitting needle (figurative codes are always the same);
31 – BaNdana;
Kg – a small weight (figurative code for “kg” is introduced).

Mentally draw the denotation of the constant value, m (e), on the cannon-ball on the scales. Consequently
single out four parts in it and create the following connections:

The first base part + cannon;
The second base part + knitting needle;
The third base part + bandana;
The fourth base part + a small weight.

View the association in full and fix the association base on the following support image:

Buttons + cannon-ball on the scales (mass of electron).

3.1.3. Gas mole constant value R = 8.31 J / K x mol

3.1.3 The “Coin slot” support image

Delete the repeated elements:

R --- 831 --- J (Joule) --- / (divided) --- K (Kelvin) --- mol

The association base is “Gas mole constant value”

School of Phenomenal Memory® GMS by Email © 2006, All rights reserved www.Pmemory.com

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

Encoding elements into images:

Gas mole constant value – Gas stove + mould (a mould on a gas cooker);
831 – GaBioN;
Joule – JOUrnal + LEech;
division sign – a button with two holes like the sign - ":");
Kelvin – electric thermometer;
Mole – mole (small animal);

IMAGE CODES FOR DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE MEASURING SYSTEMS

In order not to mix up Kelvin, Fahrenheit and Celsius systems (K, F, C) we introduce different image
codes:

K - electric thermometer
F – window thermometer
C – simple mercurial thermometer

Draw the denotation of gas mole constant value (R) on the gas cooker side and create the following
connections:

Top of the gas stove + gabion;
Gas stove plates + journal with leech on it;
Flame regulators + button;
Oven door handle + electric thermometer;
Oven door + black mole;

View the association in full and recreate the initial information by pictures.

Connect the association base (gas stove image) with the following support image: Coin slot + gas stove.

CODES AND PASSWORDS

The code and password memorization technique will be described in the “Numerical information
memorization technique
” special course. We will now only examine the two main password
memorization techniques.

The first technique is that you create a password yourself.
The second technique is that you memorize a prepared password.


3.1.4. 04 84 2 0 7848 477 0 3 22 194 7848 292 0 21758 12 987

3.1.4 The “Washer lid” support image

For example, you need to find a password for your e-mail. Remember the extract from “Sylvia Chidi”:

MaKe LoVe To Me SLoWLy; KiSS Me By THe NeCK SLoWLy; TouCH Me TeNDeRLy; NoT
CoLDy;

School of Phenomenal Memory® GMS by Email © 2006, All rights reserved www.Pmemory.com

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

In this case you do not need to memorize numbers. Password ciphers correspond to the consonant letters
of the extract. After a short training period you will be able to enter long passwords simultaneously while
reading an extract to yourself.

Fix this code on the following support image:

Washer lid + lipstick kiss mark (representation the kiss).

3.1.5. Safe code - 555503005

3.1.5 The support image is “Inside container”

In this case, memorization is no different from memorizing phone numbers. A number array can be split
into two or three digit numbers: 55 - 55 - 03 – 005 or only three-digit numbers: 555 - 503 - 005. The last
variant is more practical from the memorization point of view. The fewer images there are in an
association, the better it is for you.

Encoding elements into images:

Safe (association base) – “Safe” image (top, door, lock);
555 – ReFRigerator;
503 – aRMBand;
005 – Mini MeRcedes;

Create the following connections:

Safe top + refrigerator;
Safe door + armband;
Safe lock + mini Mercedes;

View the association in full and fix the association base on the following support image: Inside container
+ safe.

MEMORIZING FORMULAS

We will now analyze two formula memorization techniques. In the first variant, a formula is memorized
using the standard GMS methods – each element is represented with a visual image and the images are
then connected into an association. This memorization technique is strenuous and can only be used with
rather simple formulas.

The second technique is visualizing a formula on the imagined drawing. This memorization technique is
very simple and allows memorizing many complicated formulas.

3.2.1. The formula for the area of an isosceles triangle S =

a

3.2.1 The “Antenna” support image.

Imagine an isosceles triangle with two equal sides and the same angles at the base. Represent the triangle
with a visual image – for example, a Christmas tree.

Unregistered Version. Copying or publishing this material under any form is prohibited.

background image

We will represent the triangle sides with such visual images:

“B” side – garland (imagine two strands of garland on the Christmas tree);
“A” side – the foundation (a chair the Christmas tree is standing on).

In order not to invent separate visual images for “1/2 a” or “a squared”, we can modify the images
representing “A” and “B” sides:

1/2 * A – half of the chair;
“A” squared – two connected chairs;
“B” squared – double garland;
“Root” symbol – carrot;
“Minus” symbol – knitting needle (introduced earlier);
“Division” symbol – button (introduced earlier);

The main association component is a Christmas tree standing on a chair (you can recreate the drawing of
an isosceles triangle by this picture).

Consequently record the formula elements on different parts of the association main component.

Imagine a Christmas tree without a chair. Create the following connections:

Tree top + half of the chair (half of the foundation)
Tree middle + carrot
Tree foundation + double garland (“B” squared)

See the second image of the main component – the chair. Create connections:

Chair corner + knitting needle (minus sign)
Seat + double chair (the foundation squared)
Upper part of the leg + button (division)
Lower part of the leg + Whale (figurative code for “4”)

View the association in full and consequently read the images and recreate the initial formula wording.

Fix the association on the following support image: Antenna + Christmas tree on a chair.

3.2.2 The “Speaker” support image

Regularity finding technique:

Let’s find the regularity in angle and side representation. This knowledge will allow you to recreate the
triangle drawing precisely during remembering. Note that triangle angles are always denoted clockwise
beginning from the top. Sides are named like the opposite angles.

“1/2” can be omitted in the first four formulas and only added while remembering.

Select the elements of the drawing described in the formulas. All connected elements are multiplied and
those not connected are divided.

background image

The information in red does not have to be connected to anything. These pictures will be remembered as
soon as you recreate the triangle scheme in your memory.

The scheme itself is represented with a hill (it looks similar) and connected with the following support
image: speaker + hill.

The formula for half of the perimeter does not have to be memorized separately. It is too simple. Note
that the sum of three triangle sides divided by “2” is denoted with the letter “p”.

The formula for calculating the area on the base of half of the perimeter does not have to be memorized
either. It is enough to look at it attentively. As you mentally repeat the information fixed to the support
image, you automatically remember simple formulas as well - the ones you did not memorize
intentionally.

When you visualize formulas on a drawing or a picture, the formula is not memorized on purpose. It is
recreated through a simple picture representing the formula elements. In order to recreate a formula
correctly, one needs to recreate the initial drawing very precisely (with the correct side and angle names).

This memorization technique allows you not only to memorize the formula for a lifetime, but also to
solve equation very fast. The known task elements are visualized in your imagination and compared to
the visual elements of the formula.

Task:

View the support images and association bases (numbers 1.1.1 to 3.2.3.) in your imagination. If some
images are not remembered, recreate the lost connections. You need to remember the full information
volume that you memorized in the “Your First Data Base” course for successful completion of the test
and mastering repetition techniques (fixation) for information in your brain.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

3.2.3. Question. What is the name of a long nerve cell branch?

Answer. Axon.

3.2.3 The “Screen” support image

When you memorize questions and answers you need to fix the following:

Question;
Answer;
Question and answer interrelation;

The new support image will be the association base if you memorize this type of information. That is
why it is so important to have a large number of free support images fixed well in your brain after
repeated mental repetition in your memory.

Fix the question on the “screen” support image. A simple image represents this complicated question in
your imagination. Imagine a cell phone screen full of nerve cells. Long nerve cell branches hang down
out of the screen.

Now transform the answer into images. AXON – sAXON (Saxon warrior’s wood shield). (Do not hope
that a new term will be remembered automatically. It is compulsory to transform it into an image).

What does “memorize the question and the answer” mean? This means you need to create a connection
between the two of them. When they are both transformed into visual images, you can establish a direct
connection in your imagination, that is, DIRECT RECORDING of information to the brain.

Connect the question image and the answer image. Imagine a screen with long branches of nerve cells
hanging down from it. Mentally connect these branches with the wood shield.

This information is not fixed on a support image on purpose since the association base is already the
following support image (cell phone screen).

3.2.4. Question. What is the membrane potential of a nerve cell?

Answer. 70 millivolts.

3.2.4 The “keyboard” support image.

First you need to UNDERSTAND the question, imagine it as a combination of simple visual images.
Imagine a nerve cell branch as a chain of sausages. What is tension or voltage usually measured with? It
is measured with a voltmeter. Place it on the sausage chain. Now it is easy to recreate the question by this
image. You see a voltmeter in your imagination used to detect voltage on the surface of something
similar to nerve cells. Fix this association on the following support image: sausage chain lying on the cell
phone keyboard.

Encoding the answer into an image: 70 millivolts. “70” stands for DoMino. Millivolts need not to be
memorized intentionally. Connect the “domino” image to one of the question images. For example,
replace the voltmeter-hand with the domino. Thus, when you see the voltmeter, you instantly see the
image of “DoMino” (70) on it.

Note how compact the process of information recording as visual images is. It doesn’t take long to
describe a picture with words and it is so simple to see it in your imagination!

3.2.5. Question. What is a nerve cell axon branching phenomenon?

Answer. Divergence.

3.2.5 The “Cable slot” support image

Imagine something with branches (like a yard rake) with axons (long nerve cell branches) hanging from
the branching parts. Fix this image on the support image: a rake is in the cable slot. You should not mix
up the “rake” support image with the “rake” figurative code since figurative codes cannot be an
association base. Use a different type of rakes.

Imagine the answer as an association. Divergence – DIVER + allegiance – an allegiance of two divers.

Connect the question and the answer: Two divers are climbing on the cell branches.

View all the created images and transform them into a question and an answer.

3.3.1. Question. What types of nerve cells are in eye retina?

Answer. Amacrine, bipolar, ganglion, horizontal, conus and bacillus.

3.3.1 The “Slot for a screwdriver” support image

background image

Imagine an eye magnified. Imagine a net in the eye representing the retina. Fix the “Eye” image on the
slot of the screw. Transform the cell names into associations:

Amacrine: AMA (llAMA) + CRINE (CRy) – crying llama
Bipolar: BI (BIb) + POLAR (polar bear) – bib with the polar bear picture on it
Ganglion: gang of lions
Horizontal: the horizon line and setting Sun
Conus: coCONUt
Bacillus: BACI (aBACI) + LLUS (phaLLUS) – abaci made from phalluses

(Abaci - A calculator that performs arithmetic functions by manually sliding counters on rods or in grooves)

Fix the question image on the parts of the answer image. Select five parts in the eye image: eyelashes,
white part of an eye, pupil (of the eye), ring around the pupil, the lower eyelids.

Create connections:

Eyelashes + crying llama
White apple of an eye + bib
Pupil (of the eye) + gang of lions
Area around the pupil + the horizon line and setting Sun
The lower eyelid + coconut and abaci inside of it

View the association in full and transform the images into the initial information (decode the images).

3.3.2. Question. What is the atomic mass, the number and the atom scheme of Al (Aluminium)?

Answer. The number in the element table is 13, atomic mass equals 27, and the atom scheme
is +13 --- 2-8-3 (number of electrons on the orbitals).

3.3.2 The “Bolt-head” support image

Imagine a piece of Aluminium wire. Fix this image on the “Bolt-head” support image.

Select three parts in the wire image: wire beginning, wire middle and reel. Fix the numbers:

Wire beginning + NiBlick (13);
Wire middle + HeaD (27);
Reel + HaLiBut (283).

The (+13) element needs not to be memorized intentionally since the atom charge equals the ordinal
number in the table.

3.3.3. Question. What is the ordinal number and the atomic mass of silver (Ag)?

Answer. 47 and 107.868.

3.3.3 The “Thread” support image.

Imagine a VaSe (47) on the screw thread and silver bracelet on it (Ag). Select two sub images in the
bracelet image:

Bracelet + NeMeSis (107);
Lock + aQuaPLane (868).

3.3.4. Question. What is the ordinal number, the atomic mass and the atomic construction of

Chrome (Cr)?
Answer. 24; 52 (+24 --- 2-8-13-1).

3.3.4 The “Nut” support image.

Imagine something representing the word “Chrome” - for example, an oven with a chrome surface. Fix
this image on the “Bolt” support image.

Select four sub images in the “Oven” image and create four connections:

Chrome spiral + ToWel (24);
Voltage regulator + FooT (52);
Oven corner + TaLoN (281);
Oven leg + BaNdana (31);

FAMOUS PEOPLE’S LIFESPANS

3.3.5. Chaplin (1889 – 1977), Galileo (1564 – 1642), Newton (1643 – 1727)

3.3.5 The “Bolt-end” support image.

In order to economize support images you need to memorize information on several dates as one block
(not more than 5 associations in a sequence).

The images representing surnames and connected using the “Russian Doll” technique will be the
association bases in this information. The first image of every pair is fixed on the following support
image:

The bolt-end + bowler hat (Chaplin always wore bowler hat);
Bowler hat + telescope (Galileo made the first telescope ever);
Telescope + apple (the one that fell on Newton’s head);

Now connect elements to each association base:

Bowler hat:
Bowler hat top + eGG-Cup (889);
Bowler hat bottom + CaSSette (977);

Telescope:
Lens + RoPeWay (564);
Eye-glass + Pink KiTe (642);

Apple:
The upper part + JaWBone (643);
Peel + SHoeString (727);

View the full association sequence in your imagination and decode the information (read surnames and
dates by images).

TRAIN TIMETABLE

You need not to memorize the full timetable – only the parts when you usually use the train. If the
timetable is changed, the numerical data is easy to correct in your memory since images can be erased
(replaced) intentionally.

3.4.1.

7

--- 09-21-37-54

3.4.1 The “AC Top” support image

3.4.2.

3.4.2 The “AC Buttons” support images

3.4.3.

19

--- 05-12-31-40-49

3.4.3 The “AC Plastic protectors” support image

The first numbers stand for hours (7, 18, and 19) and the rest are minutes. You can go to work on the
morning trains and get back home on the evening ones.

Since information contains figurative codes, we will introduce artificial associations so that it is easy to
understand that the train timetable is the subject.

Morning trains (going to the city) can be represented with the “Trolleybus” image since the image is
typical of cities. The evening ones might be represented with “Well” and “Fence” images (typical for
outskirts).

Connect the bases of future associations to support images:

AC Top + trolleybus;
AC Buttons + well;
AC Plastic protectors + fence;

Now denote each base with a number figurative code corresponding to the hour. In this case the train
timetable is similar to memorizing a school timetable:

Trolleybus + Deer (7) (deer in the trolleybus);
Well + (18) aNGel (angel sitting on the well);
Fence + NeCktie (19) (necktie on the fence);

Now you used the technique of representing a random image with a figurative code. These pictures tell
you that information on 7-hour trains is fixed on the trolleybus, information on 18-hour trains – on the
well and information on 19-hour trains – on the fence.

You now only need to fix images representing the minute numbers on the corresponding association
bases. Select the necessary part of images in each base and connect them to two-digit number image
codes:

The second part + HaNd (21) (hand on the driver’s wheel);
The third part + BeD (37) (bed on the front seat);
The fourth part + RaKe (54) (rake inside the trolleybus);

The first part + aiRplane (5);
The second part + aNTeater (12);
The third part + BaNdana (31);
The fourth part + KiMono (40);
The fifth part + WiCket (49);

Scrutinize the associations encoding train timetable fragments. Read the information by visual images
encoded in your brain.

Task:

Master the three information repetition techniques whenever you have time. Achieve free reading of
information through images so that someone who sees you could think you are reading a book. You not
only need to learn to memorize, but also to read the data by visual images freely. This is the main goal of
the long-term memorization exercises of the present course. You train yourself to read information from
your brain with these exercises.

Task:

Continue training with the “Memorization Master” program. Set the amount of memorized numbers to
90. I would like to remind you that you need to memorize the information only one time and remember it
the same way. The concept of training with the program is a gradual increase in the memorized number
amount. Thus, attention stability training is performed which is essential for practical use of GMS. You
should be ready to memorize several hundreds of connections “at one go”.

FACTOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Factographical information (or encyclopaedia data) is a short text extract that contains a lot of precise
data. GMS makes it possible to memorize the text extract sequence and the sequence of precise
information in each extract.

A text is not memorized word by word. Only the precise information of the text extract is encoded into
images. You are then able to recreate textual extracts practically word by word on the base of the precise
data affixed in the brain (the precision depends on the quality of information fixation in the brain during
the first couple of days after the primary memorization.)

Text memorization will be analyzed precisely in the “Text memorization technique” course.

3.5.1. According to

Polish statistics

, an average Polish man spends

91250

minutes, or

63.4

days,

shaving

during

68

years of his life.

Dressing and undressing

takes

523

days and he spends

1046

days and

16

hours by the

table

.

3.5.1 The “Water box” support image

This extract has a distinct structure. Information is sort of branched. It is necessary to memorize precise
data and fix the text structure in your memory. The more precise information there is in a text, the more
precisely it can be memorized.

Then follow the text and create the necessary connections in your imagination. Mark “Polish statistics’
with “Pack of sausage” (“Polish kielbasa”). Select four sub images in this image: a pack’s corner,
sausage beginning, sausage and part of the pack.

The technique of singling out image parts is sort of a “branch-maker” in GMS: you can create
sophisticated hierarchical structures using this technique.

Connect the images representing 68 years, shaving, dressing and undressing, and eating to the “Polish
statistics” image parts:

Pack’s corner + PaLm-tree (68);
Sausage beginning + razor;
Sausage + T-shirt;
Part of the pack + table (eating);

View the created association: pack of sausage, razor, t-shirt and table on its parts.

Let’s create the following connections according to the table:

You need not connect anything to the “PaLm-tree” image (68).

Select four parts in the “Razor” image: blades, handle, wire and bag. Create the following connections:

Blade + CaNdle (91)
Handle + HaRMonica (250)
Wire + PoBox (63)
Bag + Whale (4)

Connect the “RuTaBaga” (523) image to the “T-shirt” image.

Select three parts in the “Table” image: table corner, table middle and table leg. Create connections:

Table corner + aNiMal (10);
Middle of the table + ViPer (46);
Table leg + NiPpers (16);

The first image of the branched connection system you created is connected to the following support
image:

Water box + pack of sausage;

You see that memorizing factographical information is similar to note taking. Only numerical data,
surnames and names, structure and the sequence of precise data are fixed in the brain.

How do you remember what certain numbers relate to? It is very simple. Textual information is basically
memorized unintentionally, automatically. But memory only reacts at stimuli. When a stimulation system
is created in the brain, there are no problems with anamnesis. You should note that any data memorized
for the second time needs to be repeated in your memory during the first few days after primary
memorization. Textual extracts are fixed very firmly during these few repetitions.

Do not rely on speech memory when you think a phrase is easy to memorize. Phrases are easily
memorized after you have read them, but in a couple of days you will not be able to remember the
phrases. Information that is fixed as image bunches can be stored forever in the brain. This means that
you will be able reproduce textual information after a year the same way you do straight away.

Repeat the created connections and recreate the text by visual images.

“Pack of sausage” – according to Polish statistics – “PaLm-tree on the Pack’s corner” – during 68
years of his life – “Razor on the sausage beginning” – on shaving – “On the razor blade - candle” – 91
thousand – “On the razor wire – harmonica” – 250 minutes – “On the razor cap – PO Box” – 63 and –
“On the razor bag - whale” – 4/10 of a day – “T-shirt on the sausage” – dressing and undressing –
“rutabaga on T-shirt” – 523 days – “A table on the pack” – an average Polish spends – “animal, ViPer
and NiPpers” – 1046 days and 16 hours.

3.5.2 The “Filter container’s lid” support image

If you are able to encode information elements into visual images, memorization of this text can be
performed at the speed of slow reading. Create the following connections in your imagination.

Yellow cab (NYC symbol) is on the lid. DiSh (77), ToWel (24) and SaNTa (712) are on the cab roof.
Switch the attention to the car hood. Dog standing on it. A HaT (22 thousand) is stuck in the dog’s nose
and a MiSPickel (…076 times) in its eyes. Switch the attention to the front bumper. A cat is sitting on the
bumper and an oNioN (11) is on his head and a FooT (52 times) on his tail. Switch the attention to the
front wheel. A man is lying under it (a person bit). Person is holding a GouaCHe (892 times). Switch the
attention to the front door window: a rat stuck in it with a RiVeT (542 times) in her teeth (rat bite). A
bunny in a KiMono (bunny - 40 times) is under the driver’s wheel. A lion with a Bull (3 times) in his
teeth is sitting on the back seat. An anteater is sitting behind him on the back loudspeaker (1 time is not
represented in any way and is ignored). OLiVe (84) is stuck in the rear window (Statistics for 1984 are
less complete). Mentally open the trunk. In the trunk is sitting a dog. An aNiMal (10) in the middle of
the spare wheel and a PaRaChute (659 times) is on the car fire-extinguisher. (Dogs bit 10659 times)
Switch the attention to the back side of the car. A person stuck there. In the back turn-light you can see a
NaRcissus (15) and a CaB (93) on the license plate. (A person bit another person 1593 times)

In this case you singled out the association image-base (the yellow cab – New York Symbol) and
connected animal images to its parts and figurative codes to the animal parts. You should not mix up the
“dog” image-base with the “dog” figurative code since figurative codes cannot be an association base.
Use different type of dogs.

Repeat this complicated association. Achieve confident consecutive anamnesis of the images. Retell the
text as you view the images. Eliminate pauses and gap-fillers – you only need the data.

3.5.3. In

Australia

during a

snail

championship the participant number

806

finished the distance

of

182

cm on a

tartan

road in precisely

19

minutes.

3.5.3 The “Filter” support image

Such simple text extracts can be memorized intentionally. Select the future association base – the snail.
Fix the precise data encoded into visual images on different snail parts (consequently, top to bottom and
left to right).

Tartan - TART

A kangaroo (Australia) is in the snail’s mouth. On its head is a Long MiXer (806). A “tart” (Tartan) is on
the snail’s shell. The snail crawls on the iNGoT (182 cm) and a small NeCktie (19) on its tail.

See the association in full and view all the images fixed on the snail. Connect the association base with
the following support image: filter + snail.

Now, as you view the association in your imagination, you are able to reproduce the precise data and the
sequence precisely.

The amount of memorized extracts of factographical information is limited only to your patience.

It is already clear now the difficulty in memorizing sophisticated texts. Any text is broken into
paragraphs – short text fragments.

The association base is 1 lot (lotion image). Fix the association base on the support image straight away:
a lotion in the container. Select two parts in the lotion image: top and bottom. Place an aNTeater (12) on
the first image and GuM (80) on the second one. Introduce a figurative code for grams: Grammy award
statue. A statue is inside of the lotion.

3.5.5. 1 Gallon = 3.785411784 liters

3.5.5 The “Container’s handle” support image

Connect the association base, a gallon (Big bottle of water) with the following support image: the
container’s handle + bottled water. Select four parts in the bottled water image: Top handle, lid, water
inside and bottom of the bottle.

Top handle + Bull (3);
Lid + SoLaRium (785);
Water + aWNiNg (411);
Bottom of the bottle + SaLVer (784);

Task:

Do the controlled remembering. Consequently remember all associations you created in this lesson. If
you notice a mistake or a gap, recreate the lost connections. Achieve faultless memorization of the
association sequence on the base of these support images.

Train yourself to read the information by pictures confidently. When you reproduce the information
support images do not need to be named. Learn to remember information by images as if you’re reading
from the pages of a book.

Task:

Remember the information from 1.1.1 to 3.5.5 whenever you have free time. Master the three repetition
techniques with complete decoding (used after primary memorization), viewing support images and
association bases (used for quick repetition of large volumes of information and keeping the possibly
necessary data in mind), repetition with mental speech and drawing.

Task:

Continue training with the “Memorization Master” program. Set the number amount to 100. You need to
have 100 fixed support images in your brain to memorize them. It is best to memorize numbers on the
images created with the Cicero method.

Do not pay attention to your mistakes during remembering. It is important to achieve a constant increase
of the memorized information volume. Your attention stability will be trained this way. If you make
many mistakes when remembering, use the “Training” regime. The “Examine” regime stops the testing if
you memorize too slowly or make more than 10 per cent of mistakes.

Do not repeat the numbers memorized in the program after remembering in order not to spoil the support
images.

Try to memorize faster (2-3 seconds per number). Memorization results may improve when memorizing
faster due to the fact that your attention does not manage to be disturbed from the process and side
images do not appear in your imagination.

Do not “look back” during memorization. Concentrate your attention only on the created bunch of
images.

MEMORIZING TABLE DATA

Table data might be regarded as a set of monotype information messages. Thus, “The waterfalls of the
world” table containing 9 waterfalls can be seen as a set of 9 separate information messages and
memorization of such information is not any different than memorizing any other kind of information.

This is the way you will memorize tables in the course: each table line is connected into an association
and every association is fixed on a separate support image.

Another table memorization variant is direct connection between several associations encoding
information of every table line. The first association is connected to the new support image. Thus, the
table is fixed on only one support image.

Task:

Repeat the table by memory. First of all, you need to make sure the connections are stored well in your
brain. Information is read by images. When you reproduce them, do not name the images, but what they
represent. Thus, when you reproduce the image of an angel with an umbrella, an animal and a rake - say
out loud: “The Angel Waterfall is situated in South America; its height is 1054 meters”. The names will
be fixed better and better with each time you repeat them and will later be reproduced as easy as your
own name.

THE REGULARITY FINDING TECHNIQUE

This technique is used to cut down the memorized information. The planets above Earth have smaller
numerical characteristics in the table and the zero in Mercury’s and Venus’ data do not need to be
memorized. You need not memorize the Earth’s numerical characteristics. They equal one astronomical
unit (distance from the Earth to the Sun) and one light year (Earth’s rotation period around the Sun).

The table can be filled in using several methods. The first is to fix each line on a separate support image.
The second is to connect associations using the “Russian Doll” technique and fix the first association on
the support image. We will use the first technique in this course – each table line is fixed on a separate
support image.

4.3.1. 1 astronomical unit equals 149.6 million km

4.3.1 The “Top metal part”

Information contains three elements: 1 ---149 --- 6.

First you need to UNDERSTAND what an astronomical unit is. Imagine someone standing on Earth and
looking at the Sun. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is one astronomical unit. You need not
memorize this; you need to memorize the numerical data – 149.6.

Fix the association on the new support image: Slate pencil + Pluto.

Task:

Achieve faultless anamnesis of the information fixed on the support images from 4.11 to 4.4.5.

Task:

Master the three information techniques whenever you have time. Mentally work through the
associations and association blocks fixed under numbers from 1.1.1 to 4.4.5.

The first repetition technique: viewing support images and association bases. Achieve free scrolling of
support images and association bases in your imagination at the speed of 1-2 images per second. View
the pictures in complete silence. You simply need to see a support image and the association base fixed
on it. An example: sharp part of pencil is pierced by the trident.

The second repetition technique: repetition with complete decoding. Read the information after the
association has been activated in your imagination. Achieve free reading of information by images,
without gap-fillers and pauses. An example: when you activate the “slate-pencil” image you see the Pluto
image with the bicycle, kiwi, tweed and domino images on it. You say: Pluto, distance form the Sun is
39.44 astronomical units and the rotation period is 247.7 earth years.

The third repetition technique: if you encounter new image codes (203 – HaMBurger), activate the
Bumble-bee image and draw number “203” in your imagination in the background.

«Giordano Memorizing System» by mail. Lesson 23

Repeat the support images:

Piano

4.5.1. Music print stand
4.5.2. Keyboard lid
4.5.3. Keyboard
4.5.4. Pedal stand
4.5.5. Pedal

Air balloon

4.6.1. Top
4.6.2. Air balloon middle section
4.6.3. Air heater
4.6.4. Basket
4.6.5. Sand bag

PERSONAL BLOCK OF INFORMATION

When you organize miscellaneous data on a person, prepare the necessary number of support images for
each person. Memorize different data on a person on different support images. A sequence of support
images where the information is fixed should be started with memorizing a distinctive feature of the
person.

You will now memorize data related to one person (all information is imaginary).

4.5.1. The “Spectacles” distinctive feature (imagine that a girl on a photo had spectacles).

4.5.1 The “Music print stand” support image

Connect the image pair: Music print stand + spectacles. Support images must always be the first.

4.5.2. Surname, name and middle name: Jones, James Earl

4.5.2 The “Keyboard lid” support image

The memorized information contains three elements: Jones, James, Earl. When you memorize such data,
an image (a group of images) representing the surname will always be an association base.

Encoding elements into images:

Jones – Indiana Jones - bull-whip;
James – JAM – can of jam;
Earl – pearl;
Create the association. Select two sub images in the “bull-whip” image.

Create associations:

Handle + can of jam;
Whip + pearl;

background image

Fix the association on the following support image: Keyboard lid + bull-whip.

4.5.3. Phone number: 590-23-42

4.5.3 The “Keyboard” support image.

The memorized information contains figurative codes. That is why the association base is the support
image (“Keyboard”).

Select three parts in the image. Create three connections:

1

st

part + Fluffy CoMmode (590);

2

nd

part + TaBlet (23);

3

rd

part + WaTermelon (42);

View the association in full in your imagination. You do not need to fix the association base on a support
image since this association is “assembled” on the new support image.

4.5.4. Address: Ocean Street, block 40, apartment 2

4.5.4 The “Pedal stand” support image

The information contains three elements: Ocean (association base), 40, 2.

Encoding elements into images:

Ocean – cramp-fish;
40 – KiMono;
2 – Hair;

Select two sub images in the cramp-fish image: mouth and gills. Create two connections:

Mouth + kimono;
Gills + hair;

View the association in full and fix the association on the following support image: Pedal stand + cramp-
fish;

4.5.5. Car number: t 723 rp

4.5.5 The “Pedal” support image

Imagine the car number as “trp - 723” and then create an association: ToRPedo + STuB (723).

Fix the association on the following support image: pedal + torpedo;

4.6.1. Cell phone: 8-901-735-15-74

4.6.1 The “Air balloon’s top” support image

The information contains four elements: 901 (CeMeNt) + 735 (SaBRe) + 15 (NaRcissus) + 74 (SaW).
The association base is the new support image, “Air balloon’s top”.

background image

Select four elements in the “Air balloon’s top” image. Note that you must not distribute the numbers that
are mobile phone images, on abstract images. You must select DIFFERENT parts in the association base.
This condition is the most important for long-term high quality memorization. Each number has to be
connected to different images:

First part + cement (901);
Second part + sabre (735);
Third part + narcissus (15);
Fours part + saw (74);
You need not memorize the “8” before the phone number.

View the association in full. The new support image is already taken as the association base.

Note once again that there is regularity in memorization. If information contains an element that can be
the base, the association is assembled on this base and the base is connected to the new support image. If
information contains no element that could be an association base, then the following support image
should be taken as this base.

Compare and analyze the difference in memorizing an address (Ocean Street, 40-2) and a phone number
(8-901-735-15-74).

4.6.2. Pager number (operator): 970-00-03

4.6.2 The “Air balloon’s middle” support image

Select three different parts in the “Air balloon’s middle” image (three different images). Create three
separate connections:

The first part + CoSMonaut (970);
The second part + two casks (00);
The third part + Bull (03);

Later, when you will memorize a lot of information about people, a full phone number can be denoted
with ONE FIGURATIVE CODE. Thus, an “Aster Page” operator number, 974-00-03, can be represented
with an “Aster” figurative code. A phone number should be fixed completely in your memory during the
primary memorization.

4.6.3. Telephone subscriber number: 62390

4.6.3 The “Air heater” support image

Information type is easy to determine by the information itself – a subscriber number. An uneven number
of ciphers can be split in two ways: 623-90 or 62-390.

623 – Pink HuB;
90 – CaMera;

Select two parts in the “Air heater” image: fire area and handle. Create two connections:

Fire area + pink hub;
Handle + camera;

View the association in full. It is already assembled on the new support image.

4.6.4. Office number: 421-30-06

4.6.4 The “Basket” support image.

Encoding elements into images:

421 – Wood HaNgar;
30 – BeaM;
06 – aXe;

Select three parts in the association base (the “Backet” support image). Create three connections in your
imagination:

The first base part + wood hangar;
The second base part + beam;
The third base part + axe;

4.6.5. Fax: 489-86-47

4.6.5 The “Sand bag” support image

Encoding elements into images:

489 – VoLCano;
86 - eLePhant;
47 – VaSe;

Select three parts in the “Sand bag” image. Create three connections:

First part + volcano;
Second part + elephant;
Third part + vase;

View the association in full.

Task:

Repeat the information on support images from 4.5.1 to 4.6.5. Achieve perfect remembering of the
information.

Task:

Train yourself to move freely in the support image system on the exercises memorized during the “Your
First Data Base
” course.

Learn to quickly find the necessary support image and information stored on it by number.

Example:

Number 3.1.4. Imagine a door. Concentrate the attention on the third sub image: handle. Find the first
sequence image fixed on the handle: Clothes washer. Imagine the washer and find the fourth washer’s
part: lid. Read the image fixed on them: “Kiss”. Reproduce the number array by the phrase.

Example:

Number 4.1.5. Imagine a door. Concentrate the attention on the fourth sub image: lock. Find the first
sequence image fixed on the lock: slingshot. Find the fourth image in the “slingshot” image: leather
piece. Remember the association fixed on it: church, golden ring and flamingo. Decode the association:
Sutherland waterfall is located in New Zealand and its height is 580 meters.

Task:

Train to read information freely from the support image system whenever you have free time. Pay special
attention to the safe storage of connections between support images and association bases. Train yourself
to find information quickly by numbers. For this purpose, make cards with a number on one side and
information on the other side.

Mix the cards and train yourself to find information in your memory by numbers in random order.

There will be a control test in the next lesson. You will need to remember 30 information messages from
Your First Data Base” course in a limited amount of time.
