The method of loci is "a method of associating items to be learned with physical locations".
The method of loci is also known as journey method, it refers to a technique for retaining data by putting every thing to be recollected at a point along a imaginary trip or journey. The data would then be able to be reviewed in a particular request by backtracking a similar course through the imaginary journey. Loci is derived from the Latin word, locus, which means place or area.
