Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method of loci involves linking pieces of information to specific locations or images that are already familiar to you. By linking each player's name to a different part of your home, you are creating a mental image that will make it easier for you to recall each name. Option A and Option B may not be as effective, as they rely on creating catchy phrases or memorizing a specific order, which can be harder to recall later on. Option D is not recommended, as it involves relying on chance and repetition, which may not guarantee success.
