S. K. Maheshwari, Prabhjot Kaur

Abstract


Being able to remember new and unfamiliar material is very necessary for the success of students. As all the students move through high school to college and university and beyond, larger amounts of new information and the content that is presented to them is very complex. Mnemonics are various strategies that help to retain very complex information or facts and figures in the long-term memory. Thus, these are some of the memory enhancement methods which can help the students to remember and recall the knowledge that they have learned. This article presents an overview of mnemonics and variety of mnemonic strategies that can be useful to students in improving their knowledge and learning.
