About this session
Different information needs different memory tools.
Memory Techniques is a hands-on mnemonic lab. Participants try chunking, association, acronyms and acrostics, the link method and peg systems, then hide the source and test whether each cue helps them recall it.
They learn which technique suits which kind of information, such as names, lists, numbers or terminology. It is practice, not a promise of a better memory.
