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.

Mnemonics, Mnemonic for Amino Acids.

Using Mnemonic Symbols to Memorize Amino Acids.                                             July 5, 2012 .

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.

Mnemonics, How to Remember Words.

How to Remember Words.

Hi, My name is Tim Johnson.                                                                               June 15, 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 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 the 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.

Using Relevant Associations When Memorizing Information.   

By: Tim Johnson.        

I have noticed when techniques in mnemonics like pegword are being used, the associations may be unusual or humorous, but have no relevance to the word being memorized. 

According to pandemonium theory,  information will seek out similarities with other information in the mind.

If you are associating irrelevant information with what you are trying to memorize,  this information will seek out other irrelevant information. This may result in building a structure in the mind that will not be as focused on the material you are trying to remember.  By using information relevant to the material you are memorizing, the mind will seek out other relevant information and build a structure in the mind more fixed on the material you are trying to memorize.


The irrelevant information will add up in time. This information could be useful information to reinforce the the information being memorized if more carefully chosen.

It may take a little more thought and discipline to find associations with similarities. But in time the mind will have more useful information to cue the information you have committed to memory.

Try to use information similar to the information you are memorizing.  

Use this table to memorize 20 words:


1) Memorize the table

2) Associate the symbols with information. 

3) Recall the information using the symbols.                                                         

                                                                        

                                                                        (right click over  table to copy)

Use spaced repetition or timed intervals when recalling the information, ( 1hr,3hrs,24hrs... etc).

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


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 muscles of the body easier by organizing a set of symbols into peg lists. Then by remembering the set of organized symbols, recall the muscles.


Using a set of symbols called the Mnemonic Character Set. I will show you a technique to memorize the muscles.  Mnemonics Online. Mnemonic for Muscles.
The mnemonic used for muscles 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. 


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

Try this technique to memorize the muscles of the body. 

Remember mnemonics should be treated as a discipline.

Try this exercise using a set of symbols I use to help remember information.
Simply associate the symbols with the words and recall the words
using the symbols.
This might not be a challenge to some.  Anyway,  you will be able
to remember five words.
