Question

Wilma is a famous chef. Since she does not like to share her secret family recipes, she does not write down her special creations, which makes it difficult to remember their ingredients. To aid her memory, she has created a unique "mental walk" that she takes to recall each recipe. For each one, she has a familiar "route" she can imagine walking through (e.g., from the end of her driveway to her living room) where she places each item in the recipe somewhere along the way (e.g., Tabasco sauce splattered on the front door). By doing so, Wilma is using _____ to organize her memories.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is method of loci.

Explanation:

From latin loci (places), this method uses environmental cues and spatial information to improve memory. For this reason, the technique is also called "memory journey".

The efficiency of the method relies on remembering the specific location of certain items and the order in which they can be found.
