My understanding is that classical education definitely taught the method of loci (memory palaces), and that it’s only in the last 100-200 years that it’s fallen out of favor, and in a exponential way where most of the ceasing to teach it happened during the middle of the 20th century. I’m sure there some conclusions that can be drawn from that fact, assuming I have it right.

That’s interesting. Do you have a source for that? I’d love to know what historical evidence we have about MOC.
