I happen to know a lot of people that don't. If I would guess, I would say less than 1%.
That metric is a lot more interesting than knowing how many seconds the best person that learned the system needs to memorize a deck of cards. |
You don't need to use memory system either pmemory or buzan's/loraine's/o'briens and the greeks to survive in this world. You can use lists, your computer, planners and assistants, but we must remember we are talking about here is Pmemory in comparison with others.
Now that we have established the issue, both tackles on memorizing right? Yes, both claim that they are applicable? I've tested both, it may vary on people (that applies to both too). Any differences I've noticed? The pmemory alphabet is similar to the major system or dominic system. The ceiciro method is similar to the roman room system/the journey system. The free item association is just like the roman room system or dominic's key word location system. They both mention the chain/link or story method.
Sure not everyone will use these in their daily life, but I do, I need it in my studies so I'm checking to further use my memory and possible improve it.
Add me to that one percent.
Anyway, I just want to say they are similar. That's the only thing I'm stating here.
They may be different in packaging. But similar in teaching. Does pmemory work? Sure it does, but it's no different than the other memory techniques.
