Link & Story

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A mnemonic link system is a method of remembering lists, based on creating an association between the elements of that list. For example, if one wished to remember the list (dog, envelope, thirteen, yarn, window), one could create a link system, such as a story about a "dog stuck in an envelope, mailed to an unlucky black cat playing with yarn by the window". It is then argued that the story would be easier to remember than the list itself. More on the mnemonic link system at Wikipedia.

Journey System

From MindTools: The journey method is a powerful, flexible and effective mnemonic based around the idea of remembering landmarks on a well-known journey. More on The Journey System at MindTools.

Roman Room, Loci System

Rhyming, Peg Words (1-20)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A peg system is a technique for memorizing lists. It works by pre-memorizing a list of words that are easy to associate with the numbers they represent (1 to 10, 1-100, 1-1000, etc). Those objects form the "pegs" of the system. Then in the future, to rapidly memorize a list of arbitrary objects, each one is associated with the appropriate peg. Generally, a peglist only has to be memorized one time, and can then be used over and over every time a list of items needs to be memorized. More on the mnemonic peg system at Wikipedia.

Description of the Alphabet Peg System

From MindTools: The Alphabet system is a peg memory technique similar to, but more sophisticated than, the Number/Rhyme system. It is a good method for remembering longer lists of items in a specific order, in such a way that you can tell if items are missing. It works by associating images representing letters of the alphabet with images you create for the things to be remembered. More on The Alphabet Technique at MindTools.

Major System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The Major System (also called the phonetic number system or phonetic mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to aid in memorising numbers. The system works by converting numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that emotive images can be remembered more easily than numbers.
