Thats actually a perspective thst hadn’t clicked for me until just now, that even learning basic words in kindergarten classes and they have funny images of anthropomorphized letters or whatever else spanning across the room, that’s subtle but powerful memory techniques being ingrained in us.
I think I understand the mechanics and intuition of how it works enough that I could apply the techniques easily enough if I wanted to but I otherwise don’t just go around spending time memorizing random mildly useful things for fun because I have other things I can do with my limited thinky power, I don’t really know how I got decent at this stuff in the first place but it just be how it be I guess, I don’t think I compare skill-wise to anyone that has actually practiced it more seriously but i can defenitely be very flexible with this stuff if I need to be.
ahhh that’s cool to put a name to it. I know that’s the method they use in Mandarin Blueprint, a system for learning Chinese characters.
neat that it’s an abstract concept that can be applied to other things, do you use it yourself?
