Editor's Notes
- Ancient Greek orators used one memorization technique so extensively that it became known to their Roman successors as the Ars Memoriae or Art of Memory. This personal application of knowledge management was referred to by the Greeks as the loci method. Later writers have dubbed it the "memory palace" or "cathedral of memory" technique. It short, the loci method of memorization calls on the user to visualize a 3D space they are familiar with and to populate various points in that space with objects as memory triggers. This technique allowed an ancient orator to memorize and deliver a lengthy speech in public my mentally walking through a familiar garden and recalling specific information in order as it was called up by their cues. In a world where depending on written notes when speaking in public was viewed as a sign of a feeble intellect, the loci technique allowed public speakers to deliver oratory on par with (and sometimes surpassing) speeches delivered today only with the support of teleprompters. As a tool for memorizing knowledge, the loci method is excellent; however, when brought to the task of managing knowledge in a social context, the technique has traditionally been very limited. The "memory palace" was constructed entirely within the mind of the speaker. The act of speaking did nothing to transfer the underlying structures. In essence, the speaker can convey information but that does nothing to pass on the underlying structures.
