What Is a Memory Palace?

8 minutes

A "memory palace" is a mnemonic device or technique in which a learner imagines a location such as a house or room and places concepts or terms to be remembered at specific locations within it. This helps a person remember a large group of things by remembering their location in the imagined location.

This technique is also called "method of loci"—and bunch of other synonyms that one would need a memory palace to remember.
