*AKA* –>
“memory device”
.
/nəˈmɒnɪk/
(the first “m” is silent)
.
(the word “mnemonic” is derived from the ‘ancient greek’ word μνημονικός (mnēmonikos), meaning “of memory, or relating to memory”)
.
(the word is related to ‘mnemosyne’ (“remembrance”), the name of the ‘goddess of memory’ in ‘greek mythology’)
.
(both of these words are derived from…)
μνήμη (mnēmē)
(“remembrance / memory”)
.
.
*a mnemonic device is any ‘learning technique’ that aids information ‘retention’ or ‘retrieval’ (aka ‘remembering’) in the ‘human memory’*
.
(‘mnemonics’ make use of…)
‘elaborative encoding’
‘retrieval cues’
‘imagery’
.
(…as ‘specific tools’ to encode any given information in a way that allows for efficient ‘storage’ + ‘retrieval’)
(‘mnemonics’ aid ‘original information’ in becoming associated with something more ‘accessible’ or ‘meaningful’ — which, in turn, provides better ‘retention’ of the ‘information’)
(commonly encountered ‘mnemonics’ are often used for ‘lists’ and in ‘auditory form’, such as ‘short poems’, ‘acronyms’, or ‘memorable phrases’, but mnemonics can also be used for other types of information and in ‘visual’ or ‘kinesthetic’ forms)
(their use is based on the observation that the ‘human mind’ more easily remembers ‘spatial’, ‘personal’, ‘surprising’, ‘physical’, ‘sexual’, ‘humorous’, or otherwise “relatable information”, rather than more ‘abstract’ or ‘impersonal’ forms of ‘information’)
(‘mnemonics’ in ‘antiquity’ were most often considered in the context of what is today known as the ‘art of memory’)
(ancient ‘greeks’ and ‘romans’ distinguished between 2 types of memory: the “natural” memory and the “artificial” memory)
(the former is ‘inborn’, and is the one that everyone uses instinctively)
(the latter in contrast has to be ‘trained’ + ‘developed’ through the ‘learning’ + ‘practice’ of a variety of ‘mnemonic techniques’)
(‘mnemonic systems’ are ‘techniques’ or ‘strategies’ consciously used to improve ‘memory’)
.
(they help use ‘information’ already stored in ‘long-term memory’ to make ‘memorization’ an easier task)
