But here\u2019s the thing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elaborative encoding can be applied to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> knowledge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can take that knowledge, make associations and manipulate size, color, speed, duration, distance, mood, emotion, and space\u2026 you can memorize anything. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>When can elaborative encoding be used?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the beginning, just focus on the keywords related to the information you want added to your knowledgebase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you can branch out to more challenging memory tasks, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/how-to-memorize-scripture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">memorizing scripture<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise, you\u2019re creating more work for yourself before you have the needed skill set. Why put the cart ahead of the horse? <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>The Main Tools of Elaborative Encoding<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elaborative encoding is both <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Semantic_memory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">semantic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Echoic_memory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">echoic<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Semantic encoding has to do with the structure, and oftentimes, meaning of information. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in learning the letters of the alphabet, you probably didn\u2019t start with the letter Q. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, you learned your A, B, Cs through song, in alphabetical order (a structure).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You concentrated on each letter individually as you learned the sound each letter makes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, you learned how to recognize them when written, and how to write them yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Magisterial Role Of Mental &#8220;Free&#8221; Association<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To take another example, if I say the word \u201cred,\u201d you might picture a stop sign, firetruck, or big, juicy apple. You associate red with its meaning, with examples of that color in the world. This is an element of elaborative encoding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s not all \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elaborative encoding can also be echoic, or relating to sound. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be the literal interpretation or imitation of sounds, such as onomatopoeia: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frog croaks, bees buzz, cats meow, and horses neigh. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These sounds are familiar and engrained, so that when we hear a \u201cwoof,\u201d we instantly picture a dog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these connections are already in your brain. That\u2019s what makes it so easy to use them along with the classic memory techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sound like &#8220;free&#8221; creativity?<\/p>\n<p>It is. The only cost is being human.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>What Else Can You Elaborate? \u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to stop with elaborating your mental imagery.
