The method of bulding a memory palace is called the method of Loci. The word 'Loci' comes from location. The method of loci is a method which uses visualizations with the use of spatial memory, familiar information about one's environment, to quickly and efficiently recall information. The Loci method is one of the most ancient memorization tools known, and is based on attaching individual items you need to remember, to individual points on a route you are familiar with, so you can easily recall the items as you "walk" that route in your mind. It's a particularly good method to use if you have to learn a long list of items in their proper order, since you will remember them in the same order every time. The word "Loci" is the Latin plural of the word "locus," which means location. To use the method of loci, you associate items you wish to remember later with locations of a familiar room, building, or street. Then, to retrieve the information, you mentally "stroll down memory lane" and visualize the same locations. If the method works, the information you stored in various locations will come back with the memory of the location. To be effective, one must usually visualize an object "doing something" or interacting in some way with the objects at a particular location (see the following section on interactive imagery).It works like this: Imagine you have a list of items you want to memorize. The list could be anything: numbers, words, faces, etc. To use the method of loci, you would think of a familiar space—something where you can easily draw up the layout of the space in your mind. Maybe it’s your house, or your favorite street of shops. For this example, we’ll use a house. To commit your list of items to memory, you imagine walking through your house and stopping at various locations. At each stop, you mentally assign an item on the list to a location by forming an image of the item and some feature of that location. Then when you want to retrieve this list, you would imagine walking through your house, and as you move from room to room, you recall the items on the list.
