Examples of mnemonic techniques
1. Use Acronyms, Acrostics, Catch phrases, or Sentences
To create a mnemonic sentence, keep the words to be remembered in a logical order.
For example:
- "Every Good Boy Does Fine" [E, G, B, D, F in a musical scale] or
- "My Dear Aunt Sally" [mathematical order of operations: Multiply and Divide
before you Add and Subtract], or
- "Find Their Perfect Option" [lobes of the cortex, frontal, temporal, parietal,
and occipital].
You can use this method to remember any list of items. For a final example, the
New England States:
- My Maine
- Very Vermont
- Nice New Hampshire
- Mother Massachusetts
- Rode Rhode Island
- Chickens Connecticut
Isn`t that easier to remember than MVNMRC, or CRMNVM, or MMNCRV?
Try the acronym technique. For example, the first 10 elements of the periodic
table are hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen,
fluorine, and neon. Create an acronym for these [e.g., Hyrum Helium Loves Beryl
Boron but Cannot Overcome Frustration and Nerves]. Feel free to select any string
of information you need to remember. Click here to type and
print your acronym.
2. Use Vivid Visual Images
These are sometimes called visual mnemonics. For example, suppose you need to
remember a long, alphanumeric password for a program you use occasionally 17grzx8923.
Sometimes an alphanumeric string suggests associations - how about 17 grizzlies
[grz] will cross [x] 89th street at 2:30?

icons to help you construct your vivid visual image.
3. Use the Journey Method
Use a trip that you have taken (or would like to take) to help you remember lists
of items. Associate each item with a landmark of the journey. The journey can be
a simple one, such as the route you take to work, or a complex one, such as the
route you are planning to take on your dream vacation to Rome.
First, prepare a list of the journey`s landmarks and make sure that you have
fixed the order clearly in your mind. Then write each of the items on the list next
to the landmark. For example, imagine that you must remember the names of the first
10 elements of the periodic table of elements ??? Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium,
Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, and Neon. Think about the route you take
from home to work and include the names of the elements in their order on the table.
- Hydrogen - a neighbor waves Hi [the initial sound of the word] as
you back out of the driveway.
- Helium - He [the symbol for helium] then goes back in the house.
- Beryllium - you say high to the waitress Beryl at the coffee shop.
- Boron - when you get back in your car, you immediately pass the Boron
station.
- Carbon - you pass a large bus with clouds of black, Carbon exhaust.
- Nitrogen - you pass a farm [Nitrogen fertilizer], and take a deep
breath of Oxygen.
- When you get to work, Fluorine, the new co-worker meets you in the
parking lot,
- As she gets out of her Neon.
