   1 flagged finding: an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Eleanor Maguire, a real (deceased 2022) neuroscientist known for taxi-driver hippocampus research, not mnemonic technique research specifically.

   Before

   "Mnemonic techniques work because they transform information to be remembered into a form that takes advantage of the brain's existing strengths: spatial memory, emotional memory, and associative memory are all far more powerful than verbal-sequential memory for arbitrary information lists." -- Dr. Eleanor Maguire, Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, University College London

   After

   Mnemonic techniques work because they transform information to be remembered into a form that takes advantage of the brain's existing strengths: spatial memory, emotional memory, and associative memory are all far more powerful than verbal-sequential memory for arbitrary information lists.

   Why: De-attributed an unverified quote falsely credited to Dr. Eleanor Maguire (a real neuroscientist known for taxi-driver hippocampus research, not mnemonic technique research). Converted to unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim; the legitimate Maguire et al. (2003) reference in the article's bibliography was retained unchanged.
