The reaserch for this page is being done for work in my
Investigating Minds
class. Mnemonic Devices and Memory Palaces were studied in class and my interest
in them inspired me to persue them in my conference work. I decided that my
research could be put to specific use in that I could use various mnemonic
devices in my classes that required me to memorize information. This paper
contains an explaination of mnemonic devices and memory
palaces, a discussion
on their original uses in medieval and classical times, what makes
information memorable, my personal experience,
and
links to other pages that invlove memory and mnemonics.
