Mnemonic: Any technique that serves to facilitate storage, encoding, or recall of information in memory. Imagery and mediation (method of loci, peg word system) phonemic and orthographic chars. (word and number recall) phonemic cues and imagery mediation (name recall and key word method) semantic organization (experts) Method of Loci Loci are locations such as a door, closet or driveway. The method can be used in 3 steps: First identify the Loci and arrange them in a familiar sequence. Create images of the to be recalled (TBR) items that are then associated with the Loci. Finally recall by mentally revisiting the places or Loci which will cue the TBR items. S S.s Capabilities: Was able to recall without error a list of words that was increased from 30, 50, and then to 70. Several months later was able to recall the list as accurately as on the first occasion. Performed numerous experiments did not seem to forget words, even if the syllables were nonsense syllables. He would remember them for days, months or even years. Peg word systems: Mnemonic strategy which involves learning a set of stimulus items that are pegs on which items to be remembered are hung. This technique involves some organization. first memorize some words of which I could hang other words I needed to remember later. This is kind of like the method of loci, except instead of using landmarks you use pegs in the form of words. peg word system... is like hanging your coat up on a rack by the door. First, a person would remember a list of peg words rhyming with a number like: one: bun two: shoe three: tree four: door five: drive Next the person would hook each word to be memorized to a peg and associate the two in a bizarre image. The more bizarre, the better the effect on memorizing. For example if I wanted to remember cheese, vacation, and song. I would think of something like there is some cheese between those buns. Then for vacation, I could envision the tickets for my vacation are i
