Funny how associating a color, or an animal, to an idea, make it resonate all the more strongly.

Sometimes I do that but to sounds.
Been reading a book about memory techniques, and the main idea is that imagery/storytelling is the key to recalling information. The more vivid and absurd of an association you make with some concept, the easier it is to remember and synthesize later.
Preliterate civilizations would form elaborate stories/lore to encode important information and insights about local food, geography, tradition, etc because those stories are easier to remember and communicate between generations.
Yes, read the best tip on how to remember if you locked the front door/closed the garage door, etc. And the idea was similar : while locking your door say a silly or strange word or sentence and as soon as you start thinking about have I locked the door you will remember the silly phrase and remember doing it ❤️it works like a charm 😃
