Memory Palace
A memory palace is a strategy of memory enhancement that utilizes familiar settings in order to recall information spatially. In this technique a person memorizes the layout of some building, or the contents of a room and assigns information to objects or rooms. Retrieval of information is achieved by 'walking' through the memory palace, activating the desired memories or information through those familiar spaces or objects.
Think of an object or place that serves as an intense memory trigger for you. It could be a pattern, or childhood toy-- maybe it a piece of furniture long replaced. Once pictured in your mind, record a description for me--try to be as detailed as possible. I will take these recordings and create interpretations in cardboard to build future memory palaces.
