Examples of mnemonic in the following topics:

• Strategies for Improving Memory Quality and Duration

  • Another way to improve memory is through the use of a mnemonic device.
  • Mood congruence is a possible mnemonic device, but one that is not easily employed.
  • Environmental structuring is another mnemonic that is useful as part of a routine.
  • Overlearning is a very powerful mnemonic for both procedural and semantic memories.
  • Spaced practice is a better mnemonic strategy than massed practice.

• Introduction to Memory Encoding

  • An example of a mnemonic is remembering the colors of the rainbow by the name Roy G.
  • Chunking and mnemonics (discussed below) aid in semantic encoding; sometimes, deep processing and optimal retrieval occurs.
  • Mnemonic devices, sometimes simply called mnemonics, are one way to help encode simple material into memory.
  • A mnemonic is any organization technique that can be used to help remember something.
  • Another type of mnemonic is an acronym, in which a person shortens a list of words to their initial letters to reduce their memory load.

• Other Steps

  • Some strategies used in semantic encoding include chunking and mnemonics.

• Cognitive Development in Adolescence

  • Adolescents are more aware of their own thought processes and can use mnemonic devices and other strategies to think more efficiently.

• The Five-Factor Model

  • In the center column, notice that the first letter of each trait spells the mnemonic OCEAN.
