What are mnemonics?

Mnemonics are cognitive devices used to improve memory and to recall

important concepts by linking unfamiliar information to familiar

information (Meece, 2002).

Page 3: HOOKED ON MNEMONICS: It worked for me

Why use mnemonics?

Krashen explains the need to make rules more “learnable” and “simple”. Rules need to be made easy enough for the brain to remember (1983).
