The method described in the question is the method of loci, also known as the memory palace technique, which involves visualizing a familiar route or place and placing information to be remembered in specific locations along that route or within that place. The pegword method involves associating numbers with rhyming words to aid with recall, the linkword system involves creating vivid imagery connecting new information with existing memories, and context-specific processing involves enhancing memory recall by learning in the same environment in which the information will be retrieved.
