ACRONYMSBy using each first letter from a group of
words to form a new word
Particularly useful when remembering words in a specified order
Example: NBA (National Basketball Associations), LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
SENTENCES/ACROSTICSUse the first letter of each word you are trying to
remember to make a sentence
Examples:My Very Educated Mother Just Sold U Nine Pizza
(for naming planets in order from Sun)Michael Jackson Kena Halau Balik India Utara
(Rainbow’s colors)My Dear Aunt Sally (mathematical order of
operations: Multiply and Divide before you Add and Subtract)
Ali Produce Bad Virus Fever (Algae, Protozoa, Bacteria, Virus, Fungus)
RHYMES & SONGSRhythm, repetition, melody, and rhyme can
all aid memory
Particularly useful for those who can learn tunes, songs, or poems easily
Examples: using tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
METHOD OF LOCIUse to remember speeches, and it combines
the use of organization, visual memory, and association
Example: determined your path, imagine yourself walking along it, and identify specific landmarks that you will pass as well as number of landmarks you choose will depend on the number of things you want to remember
CHUNKINGGenerally used when remembering numbers
Based on the idea that short-term memory is limited in the number of things that can be contained
A person can remember 7 (plus or minus 2) "items" in short-term memory
Example: 64831996 - breaks the group into a smaller number of "chunks"
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT It may not be a mnemonic, but repeating is
still a great memory aid
Break up the information into small bits that you can learn, one step at a time
