Method of loci

The method of loci (plural of Latin locus for place or location), also called the memory palace , is a mnemonic device introduced in ancient Roman and Greek rhetorical treatises (in the anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium , Cicero 's De Oratore , and Quintilian 's Institutio oratoria ). The items to be remembered in this mnemonic system are mentally associated with specific physical locations. [ 1 ] It relies on memorized spatial relationships to establish, order and recollect memorial content. The term is most often found in specialised works on psychology , neurobiology and memory , though it was used in the same general way at least as early as the first half of the nineteenth century in works on rhetoric , logic and philosophy . [ 2 ] [ edit ] Description The method of loci is also commonly referred to as the journey method. In basic terms, it is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualization to organize and recall information.

[ 1 ] The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals called 'Pomodori' (from the Italian word for 'tomatoes') separated by short breaks. Closely related to concepts such as timeboxing and iterative and incremental development used in software design, the method has been adopted in pair programming contexts.
