  1. The method of loci as a mnemonic device to facilitate learning in

    The method of loci (MOL) is a mnemonic device that relies on spatial relationships between "loci" (e.g., locations on a familiar route or rooms in a familiar building) to arrange and recollect memorial content. ... An important limitation of research into MOL is that the effective use of MOL traditionally requires extensive training [e.g ...

  2. The effectiveness of the loci method as a mnemonic device: Meta

    The "loci method" is a popular mnemonic device that involves visualising and recalling items at specific points along a familiar route. The loci method has been used for thousands of years, and by many successful memory athletes; yet there have been relatively few educational and clinical applications, possibly owing to empirical uncertainty.

You need as many loci as the number of items to remember.

  7. Durable memories and efficient neural coding through mnemonic training

    Mnemonic techniques are powerful tools to enhance memory performance. One of the most common techniques is the so-called "method of loci," which was developed in ancient Greece and draws upon mental navigation along well-known spatial routes ().To-be-remembered material is mentally placed at salient landmarks on an imagined path and can subsequently be recalled by retracing the route ...

  9. Memory training with the method of loci for children and adolescents

    Method of Loci (MoL) is a strategy-based memory training, stemming back to ancient Greece and Rome (Bower, Citation 1970), used by public speakers to memorize the sequence of main topics in an entire speech. The information was translated into easily visualized things that they imagined placing at specific places (loci) along a familiar path.

  10. Effectiveness of the method of loci is only minimally related to

    The method of loci is arguably the most famous mnemonic strategy and is highly effective for memorising lists of non-spatial information in order. As described and instructed, this strategy apparently relies on a spatial/navigational metaphor. The user imagines moving through an environment, placing (study) and reporting (recall) list items ...
