Vishvaa Rajakumar, a 20-year-old college student from India, recently claimed victory at the Memory League World Championship. He specializes in rapid memorization methods, notably the ancient Roman memory technique called method of loci, or memory palace, which enhances memory retention by associating memories with spatial locations. This technique helps stimulate the brain's hippocampus. Rajakumar emphasizes the importance of hydration in mental performance and suggests that drinking water aids clarity, enriching the memorization process, especially when engaging in the practice of sub-vocalization during reading and retention tasks.
Hydration is very important because it helps your brain. When you memorize things, you usually sub-vocalize, and it helps to have a clear throat.
The technique of loci, or memory palace, involves visualizing a large house and assigning memories to rooms, which stimulates the hippocampus.
