Welcome to theUM–Memory Practice
The Mysteries of Space and Time
Ultima Memoria (UM) opens up the possibility of systematically assessing memory performance across a range of practical fields of application, strengthening it through targeted training and further developing its effective use. The modules illustrate how the system can be applied to different areas of human perception, processing and practice — from colours, sounds, letters, numbers and forms to language and strategic patterns. In this way, “Memory in Practice” becomes a concrete experience.
Practical Applications | Training | Exercises | Tests | Measurable Evaluations
Here you will find a selection of Ultima Memoria’s (UM) practical applications. On the following pages you can train, test, precisely measure and normatively evaluate your knowledge and skills in fundamental areas of memory.
Ultima Memoria (UM) Modules
Ultima Memoria (UM) translates its practical application into a series of clearly defined modules, each centred on a distinct subject area. Within these modules, training, exercises, tests and measurable evaluations are brought together in a coherent structure. In this way, the system’s practical fields of application are organised with clarity and precision.
- Module (01):UM and Tones | C – D – E – F – G – A – B – C
- Module (02):UM and Colours | 2 – 3 – 3
- Module (03):UM and Letters | A, B, C, D, ..., X, Y, Z
- Module (04):UM and Numbers | 0, 1, 2, ..., 9
- Module (05):UM and 2D Shapes | 2D
- Module (06):UM and 3D Solids | 3D
- Module (07):UM and Chess | 4 – 16 – 36 – 64
- Module (08):UM and Arabic Language | [539]
- Module (09):UM and al-Qur’an al-Kareem | [323,671]
UM and Chess | 4 – 16 – 36 – 64
Strategic Memory | Development of Strategic Thinking and Action
Chess offers an exceptional way of viewing aspects of life through a particular mode of thought. It involves recognising and applying strategic and combinatorial patterns of thinking. The multitude of possible combinations and strategies provides deep insight into the cognitive abilities involved in strategic thought and challenges present and future strategists, thinkers and researchers alike. It also tests the ability to find one's bearings quickly in complex situations.
Even the question of which strategic, technical and tactical approaches lead to victory demands an understanding of the task at hand and the ability to identify the means and pathways to a solution. At its core, this involves strategy, technique and tactics, together with the ability to put them into practice.
