Chunking involves grouping individual pieces of information together into larger, more manageable units. To use this method, try breaking down a long string of information into clusters (or 'chunks'), such as organizing numbers into a phone number format.

Mnemonic devices are memory aids that help encode information into long-term memory. Common types include acronyms, acrostics, and visual images. For example, using the acronym HOMES to remember the Great Lakes' names.

Method of Loci, also known as the memory palace technique, involves associating items you want to remember with specific physical locations. You visualize navigating a familiar place and 'placing' items along that route to retrieve them later.

Spaced repetition is a study technique where information is reviewed at increasing intervals to boost long-term memorization. Use a flashcard app or system to schedule review sessions gradually further apart.

The Peg System is a technique for memorizing lists by associating items with a pre-memorized set of 'pegs' or mental hooks, such as numbers or letters. For example, one can associate '1' with 'sun', '2' with 'shoe', and then create a vivid image of the items with their respective pegs.

The Story Method involves creating a narrative or story in which all the items to be remembered are featured. This method improves recall by giving the information a coherent structure. Create your story by linking the items with events or characters.

Elaborative encoding is the process of actively relating new information to knowledge that is already in memory. By creating associations between new and old information, you enhance the likelihood of remembering the new information. Think about how new concepts relate to things you already know.
