The Method of Loci is a mnemonic technique that helps improve memory by associating information with specific locations. This method involves visualizing a familiar place, such as a home or a route, and mentally placing items or concepts to be remembered at various points within that space. When recalling the information, one can mentally walk through the location to retrieve the stored items.
This technique is based on the idea that our brains are better at remembering spatial information than abstract concepts. It has been used since ancient times, notably by Cicero and other orators, to enhance public speaking and memory retention.
