by Michael on May 25, 2009

Did you know there’s a mnemonic device that is more powerful than the "One is a bun" pegword mnemonic? Here’s a system you can use for lists that have more than 12 items. In this video I show you the advanced pegword mnemonic system in which every number becomes a letter and a concrete word that you can visualize to help you remember a list of any length. See how to put mental imagery and your memory to work in this video.

Fahy,

I don’t know Fahy – there’s a LOT to memorize in those computer books. I know a good bit of HTML and Actionscript, but I don’t know if these mnemonic systems would be much help in memorize all that code. Interesting idea though.
