Mnemonic Peg System

                                                                                                     
     
Hi, My name is Tim Johnson.                                                                               April 11, 2012.

       I have been working with mnemonic peg system for over 20 years.

       Mnemonic peg system is a technique in mnemonics used to aid memory by using a pre-memorized
list of  symbols, words, pictures, sounds, etc. as  pegs to memorize information. By associating
information with these pegs, then using them to recall or cue the information associated them, it should
be easier to remember the information.

       Building a peg list that can be remembered then is important. If the pegs or the order of the
pegs cannot be recalled properly, it will more difficult to recall the information attached to it.
By using a set symbols called the "Mnemonic Character Set" to build peg lists, remembering
information can be easier. The set of symbols and the order of the symbols are easier to remember
than pegs such as numbers or letters. So the information attached to these symbols will also be easier
to recall.

   Try techniques like:

      Free association:               Using the first thought(s) that you are consciously aware of when
                                               associating external and internal information.                                        
                                         eg. What would the first thought(s) in your mind be if you look at a symbol with a
                                               word in text?    eg.   2 - SWAN.   What did you think of first?  Those                             
                                               thoughts may be good cues to use to associate the 2 with SWAN. 
                           
       Shape example:                Picture the symbol as part of or the whole picture.
                                         eg. Use number 2 to remember the word  SWAN. Think of the shape of
                                               a swan.  Associate the shape with the number 2.            

      You can use just about anything for a peg to build peg lists in mnemonic peg system. But creating peg lists that you will be capable of recalling especially when working with long lists require an order or structure. By using the Mnemonic Character Set  that order can be created for memory work. If used properly you should be able recall information starting at the end of the peg list.  Recall lists using every other symbol in the peg list.

      Mnemonics is a discipline and like all disciplines you will become more proficient with it the more you work with it.
