A Memory Palace is a mental recreation of a physical location (like your home) that helps you recall information with extraordinary accuracy. It’s a technique used by learners, memory champions and was famously depicted in Sherlock. Also known as the method of loci, the Memory Palace technique allows you to rapidly memorize names, words, numbers, physics equations, and even images, both concrete and abstract. Some people even use the Memory Palace technique to help them remember step-based procedures, such as moves in chess. How does the technique work? You simply start by: Choosing your first familiar locationMapping out a logical path using walls, corners or fixed furniture as “anchors”Assigning vivid, exaggerated imagery and associations to the information you want to memorizeLocking each piece of information into long-term memory by using the Memory Palace to review it This simple process creates a “magnetic” link between the places you know and the target information you want to recall because the vibrant associations leap out at you. To help you understand the technique quickly, I recorded this Memory Palace walkthrough and gave an example from my own memorization practice to provide a quick overview using an actual location: https://youtu.be/STlYIiF9RzI Now that you’ve taken a tour of a real Memory Palace used for multiple learning goals, let’s review why this technique is so powerful. Then we’ll dig into the nuts and bolts of how to build your first Memory Palace properly. Rest assured, the nuances matter to your success. Why Use the Memory Palace Technique? Personally, this technique saved me during my PhD. During the dark Canadian winter of 2003, I found myself suffering clinical depression, anxiety-induced memory loss and was so overwhelmed, I nearly dropped out of my graduate program. But thanks to learning use Memory Palaces properly after a brief period of confusion created by reading books written by memory competitors, I passed multiple language exams, both my field exams and my dissertation defense. I did so well that I not only graduated. I also won a Mercator Guest Professor aware and wound up getting to teach Film Studies in Germany. I’ve since taught the Memory Palace technique to thousands of people. From students memorizing scripture and speeches to professionals mastering vocabulary and entire books, it’s been a blessing to show others the way. Not only that, but as I told journalist Rebecca Barry when she interviewed me for the New Zealand Herald’s Viva Magazine, the Memory Palace is far more engaging (and more effective) than rote memorization. Sure, modern tools and “apps” can store information for you. But they can’t help you recall complex information when it counts. And using technology instead of your imagination can get quite boring. That’s where the Memory Palace excels. It’s endlessly entertaining in addition to being incredibly effective. So if you’ve ever blanked on an exam, forgotten a name, or wished your mind were sharper, you’re in the right place. Let’s look deeper at how to apply this special learning technique to any topic you want to master. https://youtu.be/c4J5ZUzCxZY How to Build A Memory Palace: Your Complete Guide To This Ancient Memory Technique As you’ve seen, the basic idea behind the Memory Palace is simple. You associate pieces of information with locations that you are very familiar with. Let’s look at the process in greater detail along with a number of illustrations, examples and case studies based on my personal use and those of my students. Many people base their first Memory Palace on their home. But you can also build Memory Palaces based on: Homes of relativesWorkplacesChurchesSchoolsArt galleriesCafes and restaurantsMovie theatres It’s also possible to use parks, highways and other outdoor locations. This outdoor approach is sometimes called the journey method. Generally, I advise that beginners start with buildings. I make this suggestion because the walls, hallways and other features of buildings give your mind a kind of scaffolding to hang onto. This is especially important for people new to using visual memory techniques. You might not be used to imagining things, so giving yourself the solidity of an actual building you’re familiar with will reduce the cognitive load involved in using the technique. You can also approach the Memory Palace in a non-visual way, as shared in this tutorial. As you’ll discover by going through the steps, variety is the key. For example, some of my Memory Palaces are based solely on interior locations. Others are exterior. The Memory Palace I used for my TEDx Talk was built from both interior and exterior locations, all based on the fundamental steps you’re about to learn. Step One: Select and Imagine a Location You Want to Develop Into a Memory Palace Try this simple exercise: Close your eyes and picture a room in your home. Your bedroom or a living room ...
