Studies by Eleanor Maguire at University College London and her colleagues helped demonstrate that the brain prefers to store memories as images in an orderly location. They did this by comparing the brain activity of world memory champions with a control group, while they memorized lists of items.
Results showed the only difference was that the champions preferentially used parts of the brain responsible for navigation and spatial awareness during the tasks. It turned out that they had better memories purely because they were placing items they needed to remember as images around a “mind palace.”
