3. Take this quiz (4 minutes)
Now that you’ve been introduced to Loeb and the memory palace, take this quiz and see what you can remember. Use the “learn” mode of Quizlet and type your answers to the quiz questions until you get them all right. (All answers in this quiz are one-word answers, e.g. “balcony”, “attic”, “theater”.)
Let me know if you need help with anything.
