- wahern 6y agoI don't think it comes naturally to most people, at least not in the sense of effortless application. It takes deliberate effort, not only in laying out your memory palace, but especially in refining the loci imagery and becoming efficient at creating associations for new material. I've dabbled in it just enough to develop an appreciation for it, but never became very skillful. You can compare the Method of Loci to poetry, which is an historically far more important and widely practiced mnemonic technique with more obvious neurological roots. Applying poetry for long works (not just your favorite song), either for memorization or especially composition, still requires significant practice, and is likewise a mostly forgotten [practical] art form displaced by ever more modern technologies.
