What is a memory palace?

Picture a place you know well, like your home. Imagine a vivid image for each idea you want to remember, and put each one in a different spot. To recall the ideas, mentally walk through those spots in order.

That’s the method of loci, also called a memory palace. Each place gives you a cue to remember what comes next.

Your material becomes illustrated memory sketches, with a clear path through the key ideas. Follow the scene to learn each idea and practice recalling it.

Better recall. Backed by research.

Memory palaces have been studied in everyday learners and memory experts. Here’s what researchers found.

  • 2×+as many words recalled

    Average recall rose from 26 to 62 words out of 72 after 40 days of memory palace practice, with 30-minute daily sessions.

    Cell Press, 2017

  • 9 of 10memory experts used it

    In a study of ten exceptional memorizers, nine used the method of loci for some or all of the memory tasks.

    Maguire et al., 2003

  • 4 monthslater, recall was still better

    After six weeks of memory palace training, participants still showed memory benefits at a four-month follow-up.

These studies tested memory techniques, not LectureSketch or exam grades. Results vary, and some studies have limitations.
