Key ideas in Master Your Memory

- Items must be mentally 'attached' or interacting with the body part
- Top-down or bottom-up paths are easier for the brain to track than random jumps
- Vivid, multisensory associations stick better than simple labels
- The standard sequence for a reliable body list
- How to 'pin' an item to a body part effectively
- Spatial memory leverages the hippocampus's mapping ability
- Rote repetition is prone to 'fading' under stress
- Retrieval involves 'scanning' the body part to trigger the image
- The body part acts as a retrieval cue for the stored data
- The advantage of spatial memory over rote repetition
- Retrieving items in a real-world scenario
- Folders should be distinct and not easily confused with neighbors
- The body list is portable and requires no physical tools

- What makes a body part a good 'folder'
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Master Your Memory the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
