How well can you maintain your memory?

[Zane_C]

Thanks, I took a look at the B12 article. I consume plenty of B12 food sources, I'm going to get a better memory system and memorise with out rehersing.
I also had a look at the memory article that Chris recommended, it was quite interesting.

Yea, the B12 wasn't a joke. If you lack a good intake of B12, then your short term memory may suffer. Now that we have that cleared up though...

 

[F.P.]

If you don't get enough sleep, your memory will suffer too...what's more likely here?

I just thought it was rather dangerous to mention B12 in this context...taking supplementes even though you don't need them can cause serious harm (real deficiencies of certain substances) actually - something most people aren't aware of. Actually it's rather absurd considering the question he asked.


It takes pretty long to develop B12-deficiency too by the way and is pretty unlikely for an omnivore who isn't missing the intrinsic factor.

The reason why more and more people might have problems with B12 is because microorganisms don't like to develop in an unhealthy gut flora.


But now at least the OP knows what to do.

I usually to have at least 8 hours sleep.

i have ADHD. not big problem me. my attention is small so i lose track easy. it hard multiBLD for me. only 1 success 2 cube and 1 3 cube. i look for better way to keep focus is more better, then you dont worry about previous solve and also cure ADHD! focus what you doing NOW and not from before. maybe not better memory, better focus. same roman room... if interfere, then just focus your task at hand. nothing else matter in the world than baby raping furries at the supermarket. lol

I am currently using lettering system like Macky's so my memory is totally non-visual and volatile and is erased with every solve. My system is extremely slow right now though and I am strengthening it with every solve.

I'm definitely no blind expert, but I've read and practiced a fair amount of memory skills. If you use a journey method, putting a couple images in each room of your house, for instance, I find it helpful to visually "clear" each room by visualizing water washing away your images. Although, it's not full proof, it can be effective.

For about two months after WC09, I was able to recall the edges for my 6/6 since I used letters. Corners, however, were totally visual, so I didn't recall them the next day, even.

Does visual take much practice to get good at? I'm only considering it for the corners.

Yes, it's effective to clean my rooms. I've proven it.

So this really doesn't apply to most of you, but I've noticed my BLD memo is affected by where I am in the hormone cycle. Estrogen has been linked to memory, and I've found that the days when I perform really well at BLD are usually around when estrogen levels peak. I probably wouldn't recommend that as a way to improve your memory though

Really, just practice a lot. The more you do it, the faster you get and the easier it is to "erase" your previous memo quickly. Also, forgetting your previous solve is easier if you don't spend ages burning it into your memory. Just remember it for long enough to do your solve.

I am also thinking to switch to letters for edges only and tapping for corners since there are not many corners. Previously I use letters for both.

You shouldn't want to have the blindfold solve in your short term memory
Because that only lasts 20 seconds max

You will want to get the memorzation in your LTM as this can last a whole life time if you really want it to.

The main way to do this transformation from the STM to the LTM is through Repition, so going over the number or letters etc that you need for you memorisation over and over again

Um, what. For short-term memory, we're only capable of memorizing "7 +/- 2."

When we do blindfolded solves, it's already in long-term memory even if you do one pass memo and forget it after the solve.
