I have gone through course and i remeber there being a teacher who pegged keywords to the anchorman list and then used abc lists for each keyword giving a vast web of information. It seemed so exciting when i was first thinking about it, but now i have tried to apply the idea to learning info i have to learn from a book and i am struggling. I know the keywords to peg to the anchorman list will be the chapter headings. However for the abc list i am confused because to do an abc list the issues have to be in order of the alphabet, which they are not. So then i think to myself i need to read the chapter and then try to make an abc list of what i remeber, problem is the chapters are so long (land law i am learning) and full of complex explanations that i rarely end up with an abc list that is sufficient to give a decent understanding of the chapter. Then i remeber intelligent gap management and creative cheating, if i take keywords verbatim from the chapter and put them in the abc list it problably isnt constructing such that i will be able to reconstruct later as i have not come up with the keyword from my own memory.

Perhaps i need to listen to this course again to give more understanding. So what am i asking is can someone give me an example of how they used the achorman list to learn information from books for educational purposes.

No, don't do like that Look at the reply i gave to jonah.

Take a chapter & pick out key words and ideas. Hook them onto the Anchorman if you are unfamiliar w/ them. After a few days of review, you'll have them memorized.

Then you can MM off of the individual words. Or you can combine analograffiti and MMing. I tried to explain it to jonah.

I've actually taken a sentence and MMed up and did the letters going down. Eg., earth

Going down i used each letter e-a-r-t-h So what key understanding dealing w/ earth begings w/ E? A? R? That goes down.

Then going up, i'd MM some idea beginning w/ E. Could be more info from below or new info.

is this somewhat clear?

I am not sure. So it is mindmapping the individual words that make up the keywords i have pegged to the achorman list.

You could also try Analograffiti. It's such a simple technique but it works well for learning complex ideas.
