This is exactly my question. These techniques seem great for memorising (with effort) certain pieces of structured data that you know you'll need to recall later.
However, what about the things you don't realise you'll need to recall, or for things that you don't actively trying to memorise.
Basically - does it improve your 'base' memory, or are they just tricks you can use in certain cases.
Based on my understanding from the book, it's just a tool to memorize certain information. It wouldn't improve your everyday memory by much, if at all.
