Memory has always been an interesting topic to me, and the "method of loci" as described in the article is something that fascinates me, particularly because I've never been able to really do it (not for lack of trying). It has always surprised me when people talk about "mentally walking through a well-known place". This kind of visualization has always been a struggle for me. I find that I frequently cannot accurately remember even the most basic of visual details. With practice, this has become easier for me, but still very difficult. I will often mis-remember the basic shapes or colors of things. I struggle to describe the visual aspects of things if they are not right in front of me. Audible memory, however, is a lot easier for me. I'm pretty good at mentally going through sounds (not extremely good, but much better than my visual memory) and especially lyrics and music. I've considered adapting the method of loci to an audible equivalent (attaching memory to audible cues in a soundscape), but I tend not to wander through soundscapes in my mind ... I more often replay sounds in a linear fashion, which doesn't seem to work very well when trying to "wander". I suppose I don't necessarily need some sort of "memory palace" or equivalent, at least not yet. My memory is pretty good ... adequate for what I need, with reasonable error rates. I'm always curious about alternate methods for expanding memory, though. Does anyone here have a method or trick to improve their memory that they'd care to share with me?
