Memorising using the LINK method (BBC)

You've got the Number-Rhyme technique in my previous post. Did it work for you? Usually, it really helps for lists of ten. If you've read Buzan's books on memory, you'll know how you can expand the list to 30 or 40 items. For me, I never got past twenty. Never needed to, anyway.

Well, here's Andi Bell explaining the "link method". Some memory practitioners may call it the Roman Room method. Either way, with practice, you can easily manage 100 items in time to come. Learning this may take less time than the Number-Rhyme as you are already familiar to your surroundings.

Hint: If you've got 5 rooms in your house, intentionally cycle through 10 items in every room. That will easily give you an initial capacity of 50. =P
