Answer:

The method of loci is being used by this student.

Explanation:

The loci method is a strategy to memorize better that consists of mentally associating an image with a certain place, that is, it consists of visualizing what we want to memorize and the “place” in which we keep it, establishing relationships between the contents and the images we generate from them. This implies that each content to be memorized is going to become a mental image that can be “seen” in the memory palace, with its spatial location and the rest of the objects (contents) related to it. The student has associated specific data with specific three-dimensional spaces, in this way it will be easier to remember it and to be able to use the information in an easy and accessible way.
