The Method of Loci uses a familiar environment as a mnemonic scaffold and involves visuospatial navigation. Until now, it was not known whether and under which conditions virtual environments can be used as mnemonic scaffolds in the Method of Loci. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The goal of this study was to find out whether virtual environments can be used as mnemonic scaffolds for the Method of Loci.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The main research question is: Does learning success with the Method of Loci differ when using a recently explored virtual environment as a mnemonic scaffold instead of a familiar environment? <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

142 students aged 17 to 27 participated in the experiment. They were divided into 3 groups:<\/span><\/p>

  1. The <\/span>Control group<\/i><\/strong><\/span>that did not receive any instructions on memory techniques<\/span><\/li>
  2. The <\/span>Conventional Method of Loci Group<\/i><\/strong><\/span>, which used the Method of Loci with a familiar environment (such as their own apartment)<\/span><\/li>
  3. The <\/span>Virtual Method of Loci Group<\/i><\/strong><\/span>, which used the Method of Loci with a virtual environment explored shortly before the memory task<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Participants were asked to memorize and recall 10 lists of 11 randomly selected words each using the assigned method.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The surprising results showed that the Virtual Method of Loci Group achieved the same memory performance as the Conventional Method of Loci Group after only 5 minutes of training.
    <\/span>Both variants of the Method of Loci were also effective when the order of the to be remembered words was relevant.<\/p>

    All groups were significantly better at remembering words that could be pictured well than those for which this was difficult. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
