memory palace (method of loci)

A memory palace, or method of loci, is a mnemonic technique that involves visualizing a familiar place, like your home, and associating information you want to remember with specific locations within that space. To use this method, you mentally walk through your palace, placing different pieces of information in various rooms or areas. When you need to recall the information, you retrace your steps in your mind’s eye, retrieving the data linked to each location. This technique enhances memory and recall by leveraging spatial memory and visualization, making it effective for learning and retaining general knowledge.
