SMASHIN' SCOPE is a memorization technique created by Tony Buzan that includes 12 memory techniques: Sensuality, Movement, Association, Sexuality, Humour, Imagination, Numbers, Sign/Symbolism, Colours, Order, Exaggeration, and Pleasantness. Each technique provides a memorable way to associate information by engaging the senses or using vivid mental images. For example, association uses strongly memorable experiences to remember important ideas, while numbers turn items into rhyming words paired with vivid images to recall sequences of information.
