Mnemonics, Mnemonic for Scuba Diving.

Mnemonic to Remember the Command Signals.                                       May 21, 2012.

Remembering the scuba signals when underwater is important. Try using a mnemonic to memorize them.
 A mnemonic is used to aid memory by associating a symbol, word, picture, sound, rhyme etc. with information. Then using the mnemonic to recall the information.

Using a pre-memorized set of symbols and associating scuba signals with the symbols, you can recall the scuba signals and their order by  "cueing" a signal with a symbol.

I will show you a technique in mnemonic peg system using a set of symbols to memorize the command signals   Click: Mnemonics Online. Mnemonic for Scuba Diving Signals.

The webpage above is an example of how to use these symbols for memorizing information. Any information can be used with the symbols. The table on the right (website) will also help to you organize the symbols.


If done properly you should be able to scuba signals from end to beginning.

Mnemonics,Mnemonic for Spinal Tracts.

Using Mnemonic Symbols to Remember Spinal Tracts.                                                    May 18, 2012.


By: Tim Johnson

I would like to show you a technique I have created in mnemonic peg system that may help you to remember the spinal tracts.

What is mnemonic peg system? Mnemonic peg system is a technique in mnemonics used to aid memory by using a pre-memorized (pre-organized) list of symbols, words, pictures, sounds, etc.

So a mnemonic system such as peg system can make memorizing the spinal tracts easier by organizing a set of symbols into peg lists. Then by remembering the set of organized symbols, recall the .spinal tracts.

Using a set of symbols called the Mnemonic Character Set . I will show you a technique to memorize the spinal tracts    Mnemonics Online. Mnemonic for Spinal Tracts. 

The mnemonic webpage for spinal tracts above is an example of how to use the symbols for memory work. The table on the (above) can be used for other information as well. (right click over table to copy).

When the association between the symbols and the spinal tracts are strong enough, you should be able to recall these lists starting at the end or every other tract.

I have been using this memory technique for over 15 years. My rate of recall for 20 words is 90% or better.  Usually after 3-4 retrials. You should be able to retain the information longer and re-establish a fragmented list of information faster using this system.. Remember like any discipline your abilities will increase over time.

Over time the connections to old information may not be strong enough to cue it.  Especially if you have not used it for awhile. This will result in the loss of information.  Using the symbols, it will be easier to re-esablish these connections to old information. One experiment  started by memorizing 64 words. At the end of a 3 year period most of the words were lost. After the first retrial I recovered over 80% of the words. 100% recall after the second retrial.

Try this technique to memorize the spinal tracts.  I hope it will work for you as well has it worked for me.  Again, it is a discipline so be patient.

So a mnemonic system such as peg system can make memorizing the cranial nerves easier by organizing a set of symbols into peg lists. Then by remembering the set of organized symbols, recall the 12 cranial nerves.

Using a set of symbols called the Mnemonic Character Set . I will show you a technique to memorize the cranial nerves  Mnemonic for 12 Cranial Nerves.

The mnemonic for cranial nerves above is an example of use the symbols for memory work. The table above can be used for other information as well. (right click over table to copy).

When the association between the symbols and the cranial nerves are strong enough, you should be able to recall these lists starting at the end or every other nerve.

I have been using this memory technique for over 15 years. My rate of recall for 20 words is 90% or better.  Usually after 3-4 retrials.  That will vary with difficulty of information and personal abilities. You should be able to retain the information longer and re-establish a fragmented list of information faster using this system.. Remember like any discipline your abilities will increase over time.

Over time the connections to old information may not be strong enough to cue it.  Especially if you have not used it for awhile.

At the end of a 3 year period most of the words were lost. After the first retrial I recovered over 80% of the words. 100% recall after the second retrial. No doubt this will vary from person to person.

Try this technique to memorize the cranial nerves.  I hope it will work for you as well has it worked for me.  Again, it is a discipline so be patient.

Mnemonics are methods that are used to aid memory by associating a symbol, word, picture, sound, rhyme etc. with information. Then using the device to recall the information.

Using a pre-memorized set of symbols and associating the stars with the symbols, you can recall the stars and their order by  "cueing" a star with a symbol.


I will show you a technique in mnemonics using a set of symbols to memorize the magnitude of 16 stars in order of brightness.  Click: Mnemonics Online. Mnemonic for Magnitude of Stars.

The webpage above is an example of how to use these symbols for memorizing information. The table above can be used for any information. (right click to copy table).


If done properly you should be able to recall the stars from the lower magnitude star to the highest magnitude star or the opposite.

Try this technique to memorize other things  in astronomy such as  constellations, size of stars.
