It's a mnemonic device that has different names/methods, I know it as the "mind palace". You make up a room full of items and tie it to what you try to remember somehow.

@@yangpaan453 there's no rough definition of intelligence, you can define it as knowing a lot, or as having an effective brain that can learn fast, she's the second definition
@@b_delta9725 there literally is. intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge. simply memorizing a lot of things is not intelligence, that's why it's called memorization. If you could make an archive consisting of all of the known information in the world, it would not be intelligent. If that archive could think and apply that knowledge on it's own, it would then be considered intelligent. How well you apply that knowledge and what you do with it determines to what degree how intelligent you are.
Some of these comments are reeeal silly. It wasn't fake. If you watch the stream, it can't be. She shined a flashlight through the blindfold, she had her head in all sorts of different positions, she even did 200 numbers the next day with her head facedown in a chair (could have done the whole thing if she wanted). Also she was reciting the story during the runs at the correct times, so you can actually go back into her notes and verify everything. It's all there, chat helped her create the system for the Dominic method she used, and she did all that on steam too. Oh, also there were many times where she would recite huge chunks of the story itself, later scrolling to reveal (in her notes) that she did in fact say everything in order. A popular memory champ guy on RUclips was very impressed and thought it was awesome (he can blast out 1,000 numbers in sub 10 minutes or about 6 when he's locked in on a good day, but it's all relative). She also had incredible memory as a kid, with memory card games where her parents literally couldn't beat her (her father mentioned that). She's just good.
i didnt watch the practicing part so seeing this makes how she remembers it with little stories in her head thats actually insane and talented at the same time
Becomes easier when u understand how to remember, whats most impressive is accually her mental to even do this. I got to 40 and quit bc it takes so long
I think what she is doing is a memory journey, not a whole palac. (Collection of joyrneys) I used it for shakespear plays in order but this is on another level.
did you had to memorize all of shakespeare plays? if not, how exactly did you used this technique in that area? im curious as a english literature student.
@lollycopter memory palace's are basically a collection of journeys, so they are related but not exactly the same. Great example from the book mentioned.

Each clasroom is a seperate journey and the body is the palace.
@@nguyenhanh9479not really pretend, she mentioned before (which made me really understand why she's like this lmao) is that with streaming, it definitely shows her traits and her comfortable side without using too much brain capacity (if u get what i mean 😅) basically, she's not acting dumb, she's just more relaxed now compared to being an ive league student before where she had to memorize and study a lot

Being able to memorize stuff doesn't mean you're super smart, it just means you can memorize stuff. I still remember xQc and Hikaru doing the same IQ test and xQc beat him by quite the margin. Hikaru was visibly mad about it and tried to play it off. Hikaru just learnt to memorize chess moves well from a young age. That's not necessarily an indicator for high IQ. Just like you can have high IQ but be bad at memorizing stuff meaning you're not smart in spite of your IQ.
She seems to have a very high working memory/general long term recall, part of the cognitive proficiency index which in itself operates quite separately from the other, more closely correlated indexes of general intelligence (nonverbal and verbal reasoning, what people typically associate with IQ)
@@stysner4580 Yeah the stereotypical gifted kid with adhd will have high nonverbal/verbal reasoning (fluid, verbal, quantitative reasoning, visual spatial) and an impaired/middling cognitive proficiency index (working memory, processing speed, recall). Her profile seems to tilt in the opposite direction, not to that extreme though. Both instances of massive wasted potential since the two are highly complementary
Holy shit she has mnemonic devices to help her remember her mnemonic devices, is its REALLY GOOD for passive classes and memorizing answers and patterns. Can be negative sometimes , and the problem is because you don’t learn how to interpret the data you copied over and over again. Kind of just copying the result without knowing the ingredients of the equation to get that result
Wani Kani uses mnemonics for memorising Kanji meanings and readings. They work really well, because after a while you stop needing to summon the mnemonic in your mind and you jump straight to the answer, once you've reached that point you do actually understand it and are not just copying the resutls so to speak. But that can take a bit of time, which is why on WaniKani you'll keep getting the Kanji many times throughout a time period to reinforce it. I didn't really think Mnemonics worked until I started doing that.
Having a high working memory and general longterm recall is impressive but not really related to what people associate with performance intelligence (the indexes which constitute nonverbal and verbal reasoning).
Can't decide if this is more baffling or impressive. My mind can't wrap around someone memorizing a string of 1000 numbers. It is so mind boggling that anyone can or would do this, lol.
@@bradgarrett7159 It is difficult. You're just being pretentious and possibly jealous of someone's achievement. Only people with low self esteem like to discredit people by saying "It's not difficult - anyone can do it".
@@Bawkzers I'm honestly being genuine. There is a book called "Moon Walking With Einstein" where a journalist wanted to write about how the people who competed in World Memory Championships memorized things - and they essentially told the journalist that they used memory techniques and that anyone can do it. One of those individuals taught the journalist these techniques and that journalist ended up winning the Championship that next year. I read the book around 10 years ago and got into Memory League myself; It's not as difficult as you'd think - the toughest part is getting used to visualizing things in your mind and setting up a Number System, which gets fairly simple with practice. A 1,000 digit journey is beginner level, and again, this isn't me being pretentious or jealous, it just really is more simple than you'd expect; For comparison, the World Record for Pi memorization is 70,000 digits using the same system.
i did 100 digits of pi in high school for a t-shirt it took a hardcore few hours, still remember 50 to this day cant forget lol. not as quick at the moment as i was then, this is impressive and going to diff places in ur mind always helps
i am gobsmacked at this .. any clips id seen of her so far she seemed kind of dim .. lovely person and very happy and excitable .. yeah damn i was super wrong about how smart she really is. well fucking done !
@@phe.mp3 i dunno, from what ive seen she's not good at everything and her skill with numbers doesnt necessarily translate into other areas. but yeah ofc having a memory that good means youll be able to do some things very well. and besides she went to columbia to do financial engineering or whatever its called so of course she's highly intelligent when it comes to school stuff. its just, if you've seen her driving a car you wouldnt guess that about her lol
Being book smart and practicing one thing doesn't make you smart at everything.. I'm an engineer and did very well in school. There's always a bell curve, other engineers I know can be complete idiots in life.
Damn, I thought okay this isn't too difficult, just have a bunch of memory cues and practice it for a week. Then I saw she did it in 10 hours from scratch.
Fun fact: with only 39 digits of PI, and the diameter of the universe, you can calculate the circumferance of the universe to the width of a hydrogen atom.
its sad that i have aphantasia my memory is actually pretty good its just aphantasia makes it so fucking dark its like a black man in camera literally im not joking thats the best explanation i got theres still color but its so dark as hell everything is dark
i think she has a system in place where each 2 digit number has a person or action associated with it. so a total of 200 items you gotta learn. and then you place those people doing a certain action in some kind of story. that way you won't mix the order up, since the story is linear. it's really something most people would be able to do, if they put the time into learning the initial number - symbol pairs. our memory is much more powerful when it comes to pictures and stories, compared to abstract bits of information
@@pr-pc8fq it’s a nice heuristic but misleading, its nonetheless predicated by inborn abilities. An average person can maybe exhaust all the way to 400 in the time she hit 1000 in 1 night.
@@Squared_Table what is misleading? of course your cognitive abilities play some role in it, but really it comes down to practice. and on the side of cognition, factors like the ability to focus are much more important than actual memory in this case. 1000 digits means 250 person actions pairs, that's more than 2 minutes to remember a pair on average if you wanna remember 1000 digits in 10h. I did not watch the stream, so I don't know how much of that time she actually spent on it - and it's impressive either way - but don't underestimate the power of these strategies and human memory
@@ghfdsgfhs8ughjnv You're (almost) right in that it doesn't come down to having a good memory or high intelligence (except for outliers ofc, you need a minimum intelligence and memory). That being said, this goes beyond what they tested, because it's done over a much larger time frame - and that's where other cognitive abilities absolutely play a role - there is a lot of variance in how much "cognitive resources" people have (even at a biological level the brain needs fuel) at their disposal and how they can focus their attention. But yea, this is definitely within what "normal" people can do, and can also be achieved with a "bad" memory by a "dumb" person
She graduated high school like 2 years early, got an academic scholarship to Ivy League school, finished with 3.9 GPA, got a job at a big bank. Literal 0.000000001% of the population. Like 99% of people struggle adding single digit numbers.
if our existence was at stake and we had to choose someone to remember a random and nonsensical narrative, we have discovered our selection. great job, Emily!
doing this in only 10 hours is actually crazy, ive seen plenty of people memorize this far for pi but doing it in an afternoon is actually insane
She has probably had it done already but played it up. I didn't see the stream so not saying it is the case, just throwing that out there.
REALLLY???? wtf that's actually 50x more impressive than i thought.
She was a super nerd so she probably previously memorised it
shjes mesmorized it before

But then I realized I watched the whole thing til the end
ExtraEmily is a Certified Physician.
that is fucking insane.
Very inspiring actually, good job Emily!
she was a quant before her streaming career. it's crazy
That’s what I was thinking, financial engineering at Columbia
This on 2X speed goes crazzyyt
That one dude spamming futa in chat lmao
Extra Emily is like in my top ten favourite streamers now
That's actually insane. I would never
that rainman type beat
Her and QTCinderella memorization skils blow my mind
Fuck building rockets, we remembering Pi
She got the ability!!!
I can think of a few methods but there's so many numbers how do you not get mixed up.
Be born with a working memory and general long term recall at least 3 standard deviations above the mean
i think she has a system in place where each 2 digit number has a person or action associated with it. so a total of 200 items you gotta learn. and then you place those people doing a certain action in some kind of story. that way you won't mix the order up, since the story is linear. it's really something most people would be able to do, if they put the time into learning the initial number - symbol pairs. our memory is much more powerful when it comes to pictures and stories, compared to abstract bits of information
@@pr-pc8fq it’s a nice heuristic but misleading, its nonetheless predicated by inborn abilities. An average person can maybe exhaust all the way to 400 in the time she hit 1000 in 1 night.
@@Squared_Table what is misleading? of course your cognitive abilities play some role in it, but really it comes down to practice. and on the side of cognition, factors like the ability to focus are much more important than actual memory in this case. 1000 digits means 250 person actions pairs, that's more than 2 minutes to remember a pair on average if you wanna remember 1000 digits in 10h. I did not watch the stream, so I don't know how much of that time she actually spent on it - and it's impressive either way - but don't underestimate the power of these strategies and human memory
@@ghfdsgfhs8ughjnv You're (almost) right in that it doesn't come down to having a good memory or high intelligence (except for outliers ofc, you need a minimum intelligence and memory). That being said, this goes beyond what they tested, because it's done over a much larger time frame - and that's where other cognitive abilities absolutely play a role - there is a lot of variance in how much "cognitive resources" people have (even at a biological level the brain needs fuel) at their disposal and how they can focus their attention. But yea, this is definitely within what "normal" people can do, and can also be achieved with a "bad" memory by a "dumb" person
She's beginning to believe...
She graduated high school like 2 years early, got an academic scholarship to Ivy League school, finished with 3.9 GPA, got a job at a big bank.
Literal 0.000000001% of the population. Like 99% of people struggle adding single digit numbers.
This is super impressive for sure, but 99% people struggle adding single digit numbers is a super exaggeration 😂
Luckily, not 99% of the people are like NMP and have to use their fingers to add two single digit numbers.
I can’t believe she did this !!
if our existence was at stake and we had to choose someone to remember a random and nonsensical narrative, we have discovered our selection. great job, Emily!
Wow, NASA uses only the first 15 digits, that's accurate enough to measure the entire universe perfectly.
Nothing is measured perfectly
@@mexcellent227your mom measured me perfectly
@@jackspinner4727And she said it was 2 inches
@@otal0721 hahaha. Nice
Gd, that was extra af, chill Emily.
I remember I used to fully memorize my presentations back in school that lasted like 10-20 mins, because I can't talk from just bullet points alone
She needs to write a book on her mind palace and how she accesses it by saying “Hilary Clinton” as her summoning words lmao
Hilary Clinton is 83 EZ
Check out "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer.
Meanwhile I'm trying to remember what I ate for dinner last night.
It’s the fact that she didn’t miss click on her keyboard once
Concgratulations, this was wild
Well used potential right here KEKW
Pretty remarkable, she must be half robot....."beep-bop, boo-bop"
This was incredible.
