Mnemonic

Mnemonics are devices to help us remember.

Where there is something to remember, mnemonics can be put to use. You will find them in every discipline from music, medicine, biology, and electronics to spelling, physics, geography, and remembering telephone numbers!

There are mnemonic methods that can dramatically improve your memory. Do you find you forget people's names? Would you like to remember telephone numbers better? Or perhaps you simply want to remember more of what you read?
