	Mnemonic method of loci - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The method of loci is a mnemonic device used to improve the ability to recall information from memory, most often in cases where long lists of either related or independent items must be remembered in order.
		The method of loci remains of particular interest to students, who continue to utilize it in the learning of specific facts.
		For example, a student may use the method of loci to help them to recall the key ideas and phrases of a particuar subject to help them learn throughout a term, or to reduce mental load during an examination.

	Mnemonic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Mnemonics rely not only on repetition to remember facts, but also on associations between easy-to-remember constructs and lists of data, based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers data attached to spatial, personal or otherwise meaningful information than that occurring in meaningless sequences.
		Many mnemonics have been devised for remembering the digits of pi, consisting of phrases or verses in which successive digits of pi are obtained by counting the number of letters in each word.
		A mnemonic for the constant e (the base for natural logarithms) is "We require a mnemonic to remember e whenever we scribble math".

		Two mnemonics for the constant e (the base for natural logarithms) are "We require a mnemonic to remember e whenever we scribble math" and "To express e, remember to memorize a sentence to simplify this".
		In the Southern hemisphere, this is reversed, and the mnemonic is "COD".
		In assembly language a mnemonic is a code, usually from 1 to 5 letters, that represents an opcode, a number.

		Mnemonic devices are a memory tool used to link information together in a sequence that is logical to the person remembering it based on past knowledge and schemas.
		Memory palaces are also a form of mnemonic device that aid recall by sequencing or ordering a large amount of information similar to the tecniques used for the Method of Loci.
		Mnemonic Devices are usually something that have to be taught, and are very rarely a natural process.

	Blackwell Thesis - Metaphor for Mnemonic Diagrams
		The expected mnemonic advantage can again be explained in terms of the experiment by Bower, Karlin and Dueck (1975) that was described in the introduction to experiment 7 - they found that recall of a visual riddle was improved when a pictorial interpretation was given.
		Some mnemonic techniques were apparently verbal ("I remembered circle triangle square in order"), and one participant appeared to use synesthetic mnemonics - "a circle was a green go sign and a square a red stop sign" (the symbols were not printed in colour), and "the rock was angular and harsh".
		Furthermore, this mnemonic aid is more pronounced where the pictorial content allows users to generate their own metaphors, rather than when an explicit instructional metaphor is provided.

		Whereas the traditional mnemonic simply associates the ''name'' of the month with the number of days, this one emphasizes the ''sequence.'' The 31 and less-than-31-day months would be easy to remember if they simply alternated, but the pattern of month lengths is not that simple.

	Teaching tools developed using flashcard software to improve memory
		Mnemonics have been known to be used since the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
		All mnemonic devices depend upon two basic principles discussed earlier - first recoding of information into forms that are easy to remember, and second supplying oneself with excellent retrieval cues to recall the information when it is needed.
		One of the oldest mnemonics is the method of loci (loci is a Latin word meaning “places”).

		Mnemonic strategies are systematic procedures for enhancing memory.
		The particular task in developing mnemonic strategies is to find a way to relate new information to information students already have locked in long-term memory.
		This method is said to have first been used around 500 B.C. by the ancient Greeks.

	Method of Loci
		The method of loci originated with the ancient Greeks and is the oldest of the known mnemonics.
		In the method of loci (literally, places) the learner associates parts of the to-be-recalled material with different places (usually, rooms in a familiar building or sites along an often traveled road) in the order that they are to be recalled.
		As with the techniques described so far, the method of loci works best when the to-be-recalled information is already familiar to the learner.

		The aim of the abstract is to provide a summary of the whole report, that is a summary of the introduction, the method, the results and the discussion.
		The effectiveness of mnemonic strategies in aiding memory is widely acknowledged, however little is known about the relative effectiveness of different mnemonics.
		It was found that the number of words recalled was greater in the mnemonic conditions than in the no strategy condition, however no difference was found between the two mnemonic conditions.

		Specifically, participants were trained in the Method of Loci, a mnemonic device for the encoding and retrieval of word lists (Bower, 1970).
		It was found that memory plasticity with the Method of Loci is still preserved in very old age, even though to a limited degree.
		On average very old adults were able to improve their baseline memory performance due to instruction in the Methode of Loci by nearly two standard deviations.

		This is the classic mnemonic strategy, dating back to the ancient Greeks, and is (as evident from its continued use over 2500 years) an extremely effective strategy for remembering lists.
		Because the place method uses cues that are already well-known to you, it is probably the easiest of the imagery mnemonics to master.
		Accordingly, there is a higher ‘cost’ to the pegword method than to the place method, where cues already over-learned are used.
