Basic mnemonics



These mnemonics can be applied immediately, although it certainly pays off to practice them first. All of these mnemonics are based on elaboration and association, which why we start out with these. Elaboration adds more meaning to a word, while association makes sure that two words are thoroughly linked together in memory.

kinesthetic learning
In the theater, they call it a "cue".
In second language instruction we call it TPR or Total Physical Response. I use it teaching Spanish as a way to cue the young ones. This might be a type of mnemonic, but I'm not sure.
