Memorize the Invention of Penicillin and train your brain with memory techniques. Read more about the event on Wikipedia.
The Keyword for the event
Now we pick a keyword that reminds us of the event. When we later want to remember the date we will need to remember this keyword first. So make sure it is as easy as possible:
We can imagine a pill - or many.
The Major System for Dates
In this post we will use the Visual Major System to encode numbers into images.
Here is a quick reminder how this system works:- We encode digits into consonants
- We pair the letters with phonetically similar consonants
- Vowels are free to create words
- Below on the graphic are the ten main letters
Invention of Penicillin
1928
Since we usually know the century we can leave that out.
The Memory Story
Now we are connecting all elements: The keyword for the event and the Major System images for the numbers of the date. Try to keep it simple and visualize the story as you create it. Repeat it later to make the memory stronger.
After eating a giant pill to kill your fever you are having a long nap.
