WHAT IS MNEMONICS?

 

 

  1. Mnemonics technique is memory aid that is used to create associations between facts that make it easier to remember these facts.

  2. These techniques make use of the power of the visual cortex to simplify the complexity of memories. Thus simpler memories can be stored more efficiently.

  3. For example, a number can be remembered as a picture. This will make it easier to retrieve it from memory.

  4. Mnemonic techniques should be used in conjunction with active recall to actually be beneficial. For example it is not enough to look at a mind map. One needs to actively reconstruct it in one's memory.
