Rote Memorization: A paper in Nature Neruoscience says that good memorizers have ordinary brains:
"Superior memory was not driven by exceptional intellectual ability or structural brain differences.
"Rather, we found that superior memorisers used a spatial learning strategy, engaging brain regions such as the hippocampus which are critical for memory and for spatial memory in particular."
In other words, they use mnemonics, the favored memorization system of medical students everywhere. posted by Sydney on
