Memory Challenges
- Lynne Kelly struggled with memorization in school, failing multiple language courses.
- This personal experience led her to question how indigenous cultures memorized vast amounts of information.
Memory Palaces
- Memory palaces aren't a Greek invention; indigenous cultures used them earlier.
- These cultures link information to physical locations, similar to how our brains naturally work.
Songlines
- Indigenous cultures enhance memory palaces by incorporating stories, performances, music, and dance.
- These multi-sensory experiences create a sophisticated memory system, exemplified by Australian Aboriginal songlines.
