Storytelling, we've all done when we were kids. I'm going to show you how we can combine that with my maps to remember that information. Now I want you to remember this list of 15 words I'm about to tell you. I'll then give you time to write down everything you remember. So get yourself comfortable. sandbags given t box.

Cannon, tree gal. Water pen, water box. Cannon, Museum, car, cab poster bench. Okay. Pause this video now and write down everything you remember. Okay, so how did you do?

Surprise yourself for not so much. Don't mind it. Because we're going to go again, but this time, I want to shut your eyes. And remember this time, as I tell you a story. In the box, there was a cannon, the cannon shot girl into the tree where she had a water pen. Unfortunately, the water washed her into another box, where she found a poster on the poster had a bench with the museum that was advertising a new car.

Okay, now open your eyes. Note down as many words as you can remember this time on that second attempt. Now for this first time, I want to show you one more time. I want you to go over in your head now in reverse. So remember your story and go backwards now try and deconstruct it. More units Is that less got bigger when we made the story off for three reasons.

So we'll take a look. The first is primacy and recency. Now we touched upon that in the first chapter. So you probably notice the first words you remembered. And the last one you probably remember the most. That's okay.

Because we're showing how we actually learn again, the next is Association. You most probably associated things like the box and the tree together, both made out of words. And the next then found out you remember the abstract things by the water pen, or the girl falling out of the tree, abstract associations, primacy and recency, I think things are really important, remembering short term information, and being able to then store that into a long time. Make sure that those images that you're making are vivid, the abstract, and other also associated with something that you remember
