Do you recall studying for your exams? You probably do. But do you remember how you studied, how you memorized French words or the year of the American civil war? Now, that’s probably harder. As a teenager, Ricardo Lieuw On was packing groceries when he knew what he wanted to study: he wanted to learn about learning. He picked up a study in psychology and learned how to reduce his learning time from 3 hours to 1 hour on the same piece of content. He gained the same knowledge in 200% less time. And specially for TEDxHaarlem, he shares the secret of his technique.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Closed my eyes, took a deep breath only to hear an ad follow after
  • Short summary: - When you imagine bizarre stories it becomes a lot easier to remember. - If you tie this stories with place where you know very well (like your body or room) memorizing things on order become a lot easier. - Everyone can improve yourself by experimenting (your age is doesn't matter) - Find a new different methods to improve yourself and applying it in your life to see how it work for you. - With experiments in your life you will be better not only in particular skill, but also it skill to learn new thing. It will impact to your hobbies, work, relationships - to all you life.
  • I’m 75 and I love to keep learning and growing. One word of caution though: there is not one single method, including yours, that works for everyone. There is no single best way. A lot depends on being able to imagine and then finding your own way, as you found yours. These may be tools we can all use, but they are not the only way it happens, and for some people, maybe not the best.

    Investors should prepare their portfolio and ensure it beats the market, I’m trying to take full advantage of the current market,I’ve allocated my capital in a safe and sustainable way but still leave room for excitement for individual stocks, cryptos and new exciting opportunities

    Conclusion: Use visualisation and images to learn, whatever u learn relate it with Something interesting.
  • Another wonderful trip down memory lane. I'd forgotten how many times I'd seen this one, but it's a classic none the less. Keep up the good work Tedx Haarlam, I think you are going to do big thing ❤
  • "The art of learning" Thank you, Ricardo, for this amazing presentation. You're a great teacher! (which IMO is an art form as well; The art of teaching) + ReMind sounds like an incredible initiative. Bravo! 🙏🏽😃❤

    I could only memorise 4 of 10 items on my first attempt. Then i watched the rest of the video, and learned how to triple my memory. Now i can remember twelve out of ten.

    Him: with all the technologies around, why do we need to memorize? Med school: I happened to exist
  • @eve_______
    This is crazy how mind mapping works in creating random and wacky scenarios, much more fun than tidier version of imagining your own house
  • @f52_yeevy
    This is a good method for memorising lists of unrelated items, but it doesn’t account for the fact that most things that we learn are also first UNDERSTOOD, not just memorised. In fact, understanding what you want to remember is the first step that you should do.

    I saw this man perform his spontaneous poetry in a very lovely resort on Langkawi some years ago. He was a brilliant wordsmith with his quick wit - a charming most unusual entertainer and Ive never forgotten him as one of the most talented and unusual performers Ive ever seen Now he is challenging my mind as well as entertaining me - what growth of a very unique skill
