Memory Method – Experts Say It Works!
Have you heard of the term “memory palace” or “mind palace.”?
A new study from researchers in several countries finds the method, which is a way to memorize things, actually works. Using this method, a person imagines a place or path they know well, then drops pieces of information along it to be retrieved later as they retrace their steps.
In one study, researchers found people who used the “memory palace” method remembered about 62 words from a list after 20 minutes, while those who used another memorization method remembered about 41 words, and those who were given no training remembered about 36 words. Researchers theorize that using this method actually makes the brain work more efficiently.
