Short tl;dr of my knowledge: - Nothing can really significantly improve your raw baseline memory ability - Familiarity with a domain improves your brain's ability to compress the information and memorize more/faster in short-term memory, but not for longer. - Memorization strategies are powerful. Spaced repetition[1] is probably the most powerful tool known to mankind, since it works around our natural propensity to forget information that doesn't see regular use. Possibly only surpassed by incremental reading/writing. Memory palaces also actually work, and probably could be combined with it.
