Building A Working Memory Tip # 1

Memory Tip 1 – A tip on Frame of Reference and Metaphor


Memory locations in your mind are established for two reasons:

1. A mental location somewhere to store information for easy retrieval.

2. A location where information is already stored and manipulated for easy recall.

3. A third reason does exist its the implicit nature of how our cultural narratives are established over time that activate to let the above two happen.

In our cognitive training using Files pictures and Glue or the FPG formula we are coding the new information to our existing queue or files to be able to retrieve the information forwards and backwards in and out of order. A cultural narrative or framing of a metaphor is like you being young in the high chair watching your mother pour the formula into your bottle. Unknowingly you are learning a new metaphor that will go with you as a standard rule in your implicit memory. What I mean is you learn up is more and down is less. Two things actually are activated in your building of that metaphor when you were young because you saw it happen day in and day out. The two areas of the brain or metaphor rules activated are verticality and quantity. This eventually plays out in your mind to be more is up less is down and then further extrapolates out to the "prices are going through the roof". You don't use hand language to express that statement by pointing downward or sideways or to the front or back of you. You engage the early memory metaphor of up is more down is less so you point to the ceiling when you say "the prices are going through the roof".

With that being said let's say you are filing something to your first file on your body your toes or file #1 of your body files you learned in the workshop. If you filed something and it was something like a "six foot tall bumble bee that weighed two hundred pounds" again more is up and less is down. You can now see the correlation of the cultural narrative learned in your high chair and the new memory construct you built and filed to your toes. So when creating files and turning your abstracts into pictures always look at exaggeration of these given rules as larger than life and more animated for a reason. Another thing that helps in building the picture to file using the larger than life rule is it helps to use external body or hand language with your hands to create the picture and glue or action. Or internally envisioned when you create the total file picture glue scenario visually in your mind. But remember each time you are drawing on the implicit frames of reference or metaphors you created from ages 0 – 6 or 7 years of age.
