Below is the list of constants for each and a way in which to remember them. The Key Images for each number are constants so once you’ve memorised them it shouldn’t be confusing.Įach number, zero to nine, is allocated a consonant sound. In the peg system, we allocate a common object, a Key Image, to each number and associate this object with whatever we try to remember. Because numbers are quite abstract in our minds, they tend to be difficult to associate with images by themselves. Incidentally, it’s the peg method we’ll use to memorise Pi and to remember the order of a deck of cards.įirst, we need to find a way to represent the numbers 0-9 in our heads. If you’re too lazy to dedicate a few hours of practice to this system you’ll never be able to appreciate its benefits. It does however require you to practice it until it becomes second-nature, just like learning to read or to count. This is as complicated as mnemonics gets and it’s really not difficult.

How To Memorise Pi To 30 Decimal Places.Memory, Association, and The Link System Of Mnemonics.The original post was a little too long, so I’ve broken it up into separate posts: Simon Orton came up with a peg list system that works well in the Memory League Images Event.This is a post I wrote here on Thinker’s Playground a few years ago, before I relaunched the site. Once you’ve associated each item in your shopping list with a number peg, you’ll be able to mentally walk through the numbers, recall the rhymes (“what was the gun shooting?”), and recall the item (“carrots”).

Four is “door” - imagine throwing eggs at a door.

Three is “tree” - imagine bread growing on a tree.

Two is “shoe” - imagine cleaning your muddy shoe with a bottle of milk.

One is “gun” - imagine a gun shooting a pile of carrots, the first item on your shopping list.

So if your shopping list is: carrots, milk, bread, eggs, rice, etc., make associations like this: If you have a list of things to memorize, like a shopping list, you can associate each item of the list with a number rhyme image. A Number Rhyme System is an example of a peg word system.Įach number from 1 to 10 can be given a rhyming mnemonic keyword: Peg Word SystemĪ peg word system is a Peg List that uses words as pegs. It’s an alternative to the Method of Loci (a.k.a., Memory Palaces). Many people have come across the peg list system via the books of Harry Lorayne. Generally, a Peg List only has to be memorized one time, and can then be used over and over every time a list of items needs to be memorized. To rapidly memorize a list of arbitrary objects, each one is associated with the mnemonic image for the appropriate peg. Those objects form the “pegs” of the system. It works by pre-memorizing a list of words that are easy to associate with the numbers they represent (1 to 10, 1-100, 1-1000, etc.). A peg system is a Mnemonic technique for memorizing lists using a Peg List.
