🏰 Method of Loci
Imagine putting information in different spots of a known area and then going through that area in your mind to get the items one after the other.
🔗 Spaced Repetition
Re-examine the material at larger time gaps over time. This process makes long-term retention stronger by utilizing the best forgetting curves for the matter being consolidated.
📖 Active Recall Practice
Regularly test yourself and do not refer to notes. Getting the information back is more powerful in terms of building neural pathways than just reviewing it passively.
🎯 Dual-Coding Strategy
Verbal and visual information are combined. Making mental pictures with words brings into play more brain areas, thus the memory coding gets a huge boost.
🔤 Chunking Information
Put together items related to each other into meaningful clusters. Splitting complicated information into smaller units not only lessens the cognitive load but also boosts the working memory.
💭 Elaborative Rehearsal
Associate new information with the already known ones by means of significant links. The processing that goes deeper results in stronger and more easily accessed memory traces than mere rote repetition.
🎨 Mnemonic Devices
Implement acronyms, rhymes, or bright images to encode the information. The use of creative connections renders abstract information concrete and thus remarkably increases the accuracy of recall.
