How to Recall Words Using Mnemonics.


How to Recall Words Using Mnemonics.


The memory system below is a technique in mnemonic peg system. By using the set of symbols (below) as pegs to cue information it is be easier to recall information and the order of information.


Use this table to memorize 20 words: 
                                                                  
1) Memorize the table.


2) Associate the symbols with information one set (4) at a time.
   
Just as the 3 symbols "dog" will cue the animal.  Use a symbol to do the same.

Try to use associations that are relevant to the information you are memorizing. For abstract     information try free association. 

3) Recall the information using the symbols.                                                             

Use techniques like spaced repetition, (timed intervals) when reinforcing the recall of the memorized information. Eg., Recall the information in 20min, 1hr, 3hrs, and 24hrs and 72hrs.  

It is easier to recall the symbols in your mind than most information. By attaching information to the symbols it will easier to recall the information you are memorizing.

Use the set of symbols below and the table above to memorize 500 words:

Associate the table above with each symbol below using different information for each table.  You should be able to memorize 500 words when the symbols are arranged this way.

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

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 system of mnemonics such as peg system can make memorizing the amino acids easier by organizing a set of symbols into peg lists. Then by remembering the set of organized symbols, recall the words.

Using a set of symbols I call the Mnemonic Character Set . I will show you a technique to memorize the amino acids.   Mnemonics Online. Mnemonic for Amino Acids.

The mnemonic for amino acids webpage above is an example of how to use the symbols for .memory work. The table (top) can be used for other information as well. 

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

Try this technique to memorize the amino acids.  Remember. Mnemonics is a discipline, so be patient.
