Woow, that is really effective !
I recently listened to Derren's Brown audiobook about memory and he teaches a really effective method to remember list of words. With his technique I can memorize really easily 20 words and still remember them days after. I never tried more but I'm sure I can do 50 words (I really have to try).
His technique :
1. okay first imagine that the list of words begins with "telephone, sausage and monkey"
2. When you listen to the first word, imagine something grotesque with vivid colors and unscaled.
For a telephone just imagine an immense telephone, let's say a pink huge telephone.
3. When you hear the next word, imagine something in relation with the previous word. Like you need to use smelly sausage to type on the digital numbers.
4. Continue to do the same. Next word : "A red monkey is eating saussage"
