Att citera från Oberoende om källa av palats:
As it turns out, memory palaces like Holmes’ are a real thing, and
have been for thousands of years. It all began with a lucky escape
from a collapsing banquet hall by the Ancient Greek poet Simonides,
who realised that by visualizing the room where the accident happened,
he could perfectly recall the names of all his squashed fellow
revellers. He later found a less morbid use for this discovery, by
associating things he wanted to remember with walks through buildings
he knew well.
I artikeln beskrivs hur många mentala idrottare runt om i världen använder denna teknik för att tävla i minnesmästerskap innan de intervjuar en samling av dessa idrottare.
Slutligen, använd artikelns ganska underbara slutsats om varför ett palats kan vara användbart:
In fact, the ‘Sherlock’ series 3 finale hinted at the prestige
knowledge can have in the digitized world: sometimes the only truly
safe place to keep information is your own brain. Also, knowing the
number for a cab company is very helpful at 3am when your phone is
dead. Long live the mind palace.
För mer information kan du leta upp Metod för lokalisering , vilket är vad minnespalatset är mer traditionellt känd som. Att citera från Wiki:
'The method of loci', an imaginal technique known to the ancient
Greeks and Romans and described by Yates (1966) in her book The Art of
Memory as well as by Luria (1969). In this technique the subject
memorizes the layout of some building, or the arrangement of shops on
a street, or any geographical entity which is composed of a number of
discrete loci. When desiring to remember a set of items the subject
literally 'walks' through these loci and commits an item to each one
by forming an image between the item and any distinguishing feature of
that locus. Retrieval of items is achieved by 'walking' through the
loci, allowing the latter to activate the desired items. The efficacy
of this technique has been well established as is the minimal
interference seen with its use.
Sidan har också en intressant samling filmer och tv-program där tekniken har använts.
