Dozens of people emailed me recently about some news articles stating that an Aboriginal memory technique is better than the Memory Palace.
You know what?
It might just be.
But our knowledge of how and why it might work requires nuanced understanding of what the study actually says - along with as many voices as we can get to help us explore it.
That's why I reached out to Dr. David Reser at Monash University. Here's his profile:

From what I can understand, this study is incredibly interesting and bodes very well for future studies and your own application of the aboriginal memory technique. I can only hope more will emerge.
In fact, I'm hoping to follow with a second interview with Tyson Yunkaporta. Until then, here's an existing interview with him about his book Sand Talk:

In brief, this study showed that the Aboriginal technique performed better than the Method of Loci after a certain period of time. Tests after longer periods of time had fewer participants, so it feels like the study is less conclusive until further data from future tests arrive.
There are several other factors this conversation brought out that bring nuance to the role of the participants and what their preparedness suggests. I think the role of terminology also comes through and it is an interesting opportunity to think through how and why terms emerge as such.
In all things, the Memory Palace technique for studying and anything else was always just a term. And anything that adds to our knowledge of how to memorize anything better, faster and with great joy should be embraced. I can't wait to learn more about this methodology, see future studies and give some of the ideas a try.
I hope this discussion helps you consider the role of science in discovery, the role of mind in learning and starts you on a deeper journey with all the memory traditions around the world.
