Advanced Memory Science in Action

Years ago, psychologists and education researchers found mnemonics to be an effective tool in increasing comprehension and recall of information.Today, lots of different strategies for learning and memorization using mnemonics exist including keyword, phrase, music and image mnemonics.

Picmonic founders and medical students Ron Robertson and Adeel Yang took the idea of image mnemonics and applied clever pictures and humorous characters tied together with story and audio — and put it online to create the ultimate studying system for retention and recall.

Pictures and stories work better for learning.Here’s why:

Picture Superiority Effect

Visual characters aid in cuing memory recall for facts and information you need to know.

Dual-coding Theory

Visual and verbal information are processed differently and along distinct channels in the brain, creating separate representations for information processed in each channel. Two channels are more powerful than one.

Von Restorff Effect

We remember things better when they’re distinctive or different. A bulleted list of black and white text is much harder to recall versus a zany Picmonic character.
