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.

Using a pre-memorized set of symbols and associating the planets in the solar system with them. You can recall the planets by "cueing" a planet with a symbol.
