Rhyme
A short poem or phrase that rhymes and is used to help remember information. Example: 'Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November...' to remember the number of days in each month.
Chunking
The process of grouping individual pieces of information together to improve recall. For example, breaking down a phone number into chunks rather than trying to remember a long string of digits.
Peg System
A mnemonic technique that involves attaching or 'pegging' the items to be remembered to a pre-learned set of pegs (numbers, letters, or words). For example, one may associate '1' with 'sun' to remember a list, with the first item visualized in conjunction with the sun.
Method of Loci
A mnemonic strategy that involves associating items to be remembered with specific physical locations. Example: Visualizing a grocery list by mentally placing each item in different rooms of your house.
Acrostic
A phrase or sentence created from the first letters of the words you’re trying to remember. Example: 'Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge' to remember the musical notes on the lines of the treble clef (EGBDF).
Acronym
Abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words, pronounced as one word. Examples include 'NASA' for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and 'SCUBA' for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
