Does the “Memory Palace” Strategy Really Work? And Is It Something Musicians Could Use?
The "memory palace" or method of loci technique, is a strategy often used by memory champions to achieve some pretty impressive feats of memory. Like being able to memorize the order of a deck of cards in less than a minute, for instance.
Typically though, memory athletes are asked to recall the information relatively soon after encoding the information into memory.
So...does this strategy work for more long-term memory too? And could it be used for music too?
