Fletcher asks: "Can I adapt the traditional memory palace technique?"

Episode Summary: * What is a memory palace? (The story of Simonides) * Choose a building you're familiar with * Take words you want to remember * Place them around the room * Create mnemonic with location + action * Practise recalling the words by walking through the memory palace sequentially

Two key features:

• Location - create a mnemonic using the location itself (e.g. the sofa)
• Recall - practise recall by walking through the memory palace

Fletcher asks if you can substitute the building or room, for the handlebars of a bicycle...

• You can do anything!
• The key to making the memory palace word is vivid imagery, so if that works for you, then great!
• Make sure you think about the key elements of location and recall.
• Try out your variation technique and com
