Kopfkarte: Memory Palace

Kopfkarte trains one of the oldest and most effective memory techniques: the method of loci, also known as the memory palace. Memory athletes use it to memorise a whole deck of cards in minutes – and so can you.

HOW IT WORKS
Pick a place you know by heart – your home, your way to work – and define locations in it, in a fixed order: doormat, front door, coat rack … While memorising, you place an image at each location. To recall, you walk the route again in your mind and find everything right where you left it.

FOUR EXERCISES
• Words: Remember 5 to 50 things in a fixed order – all easy to picture, from anchor to zebra.
• Numbers: Long strings of digits turned into images with the Major System. With a reference table and your own 00–99 image list that checks whether your word fits the number.
• Your lists: Shopping lists, the outline of a talk, the planets, vocabulary – your own material.
• Playing cards: The order of a shuffled deck, the classic discipline of memory sports.

YOUR PACE, YOUR PROGRESS
• Your own pace with a stopwatch, or timed
• Recall by tapping – with distractors, so it stays honest
• Personal bests per length, history and a suggested next level
