Organisation
By organising
data into an
order it
creates links
between pieces
of information
Dual-Coding
Processing the
information in
2 different
ways the
information is
„dual-encoded‟
Increasing
likelihood of
remembering
Verbal mnemonics - focus on words
Visual mnemonics - focus on imagery
Acronym
- word/sentence is formed using the initial
letters of other words
e.g.
Roy. G. Biv stands for….?
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet
Works because of…
Elaborative rehearsal
Organisation
Acrostic

Nine Planets stands for…?
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter
Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto

Elaborative rehearsal
Organisation

Elaborative rehearsal
Organisation
Dual coding

- The visual image should trigger
recall of the word
Works because of…
Elaborative rehearsal
Organisation
