creating a memory palace using a computer
A memory palace is a mnemonic device used heavily during the Renaissance. The idea of a memory palace is to create a mental house in which to store symbolic images that can later serve as cues for information retrieval. Much has been made in the psychological literature about the importance of contextual cues for information retrieval. A memory palace serves as an effective way to organize and create contextual cues that can be used later for memory recall. The memory palace project is an attempt to import this completely mental construct into a format a user can manipulate using a computer or PDA.
