2. Background 1/3
Knowing ingredients, steps, cooking temperatures and
other information by heart liberates us from forgetting
items and doing poorly in the kitchen, school, or
office.
The Roman Room System is a memory technique of
associating items, facts, and directions to objects in
a room.

This system has been used for thousands of years and
was a common practice among the ancient Romans.
You may have heard this system also called the method
of loci (loci is Latin--language of Latium in Rome--for
location or place).
Roman and Greek orators often used this method to
repeat news, poems, and speeches to crowds.

5. Step 1/3
Take a journey through your mind or draw pictures of a
location you know well, such as your kitchen, bedroom,
or classroom. Sometimes re-imagining the object in odd
or zany ways will help you better remember them, such
as your dog sitting on a stack of your kitchen plates.
