Talk:Mnemonic link system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the history page, I actually meant 'Someone please clean this up.'.

"A person with a trained memory may be able to improve upon the efficiency, then, by using not a memorised mental linked list but a memorised mental binary search tree: finding any item takes O (log n) time, not O(n) time."
I have never heard of this... does anyone know what this is about? There's no link or explanation. It sounds like rubbish to be honest, as a binary search tree needs a way to determine if the search parameters is 'higher or lower' than the current node. So I can't imagine any realistic technique that would allow this kind of traversal of mental images. Also, it's not necessarily O(n) - sometimes one has a feeling of where in the list an item might be and can jump into the immediate vicinity of the item and follow links in the most familiar direction until they find the correct point.

Okay, removed that text as nobody has elaborated on it. I don't think it makes sense and it gives no reference.

The external link "Memory Master" seems to be broken. Can anyone fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.136.237.125 (talk) 09:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
