mnemonic techniques
Recall-boosting strategies
Mnemonic techniques are strategies for improving memory by organizing information in memorable ways.
These include acronyms (ROY G BIV for rainbow colors), rhymes (thirty days hath September), visualization, or the method of loci—mentally placing items along a familiar route.
The techniques work by creating associations that make abstract information easier to recall.
