method of loci
Mental location memorization
The method of loci is a memorization technique that involves mentally placing items to be remembered at specific locations along a familiar route or within an imagined space.
To recall the items, you visualize walking through the space and encountering each one: Using the method of loci, she placed each point of her speech in a different room of her childhood home.
Also called a memory palace.
