Mnemonics and Memory Aids

Boost Your Memory

Mnemonics are tricks that make remembering information easier. Create acronyms, rhymes, or visual images to help recall complex topics.

  • Use catchy phrases for lists (like "ROYGBIV" for colors).
  • Draw mind maps to connect related concepts.
  • Practice teaching concepts to someone else to reinforce learning.

Examples

  • Remembering the Big Five personality traits with the acronym "OCEAN".

  • Drawing a diagram to visualize the brain's lobes.
