Each sequence contains <br />some homogeneous set of items, a set of myths or spells, or a complete ver- <br />sion of one. This type of device is not unique to Puluwat, but is well known <br />from the classical literature on rhetoric as the method of loci or the artificial memory described in Cicero's De oratoria, in the Ad Herennium, and in Quintilian's Institutio oratoria, and also used and discussed in later European learning (Yates 1966). The method consists of using a set of locations - for example, places in a building - and associating with each place an image of the item to be remembered. Items are recalled by mentally traveling from <br />place to place and observing each item stored there. Cicero and later scholars believed the method to be effective, and experimental results show it to be dramatically so, improving recall from two to seven times compared to usual methods (Bower 1970a,b).
