In my college this is a technique encouraged to memorize people in our classes. We’re a small college I suppose

I’ve done something similar to learn the names of a large group. The first person says their name and a fact about them, then each successive person repeats what’s gone so far plus their own name/fact:

“My name’s Dave and I like gerbils.”
“His name’s Dave and he likes gerbils. My name’s Tara and I wear hats.”
“His name’s Dave and he likes gerbils. Her name’s Tara and she wears hats. My name’s Tony and I self-flagellate”

and so on.

Sounds like memorizing lines for a play or something.
