In fact it is possible to predict how well a student will do simply on the basis of their use of study strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMnemonics is one class of study strategy that is of proven effectiveness, but (like only too many effective strategies ) is used far too little. Despite many studies showing the effectiveness of mnemonic strategies, they remain the least frequently used formal memory aid used by students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the main reason for this is that their effectiveness is not intuitively obvious -- truly, no one really believes that these 'tricks' can so remarkably improve memory until they try them for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut while mnemonics do not help you understand your material, they do help you remember those many details you need to achieve expertise in a topic -- details such as the names of things, technical words, lists of principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreover, mnemonics can help you remember tags or labels that allow you to access clusters of meaningful information -- for example, headings of a speech or main points for exam essays. For both these reasons, mnemonics are a valuable assistance to building up expertise in a subject, as well as in helping you 'cram' for an exam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis concise book covers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eacronyms \u0026amp; acrostics\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003erhythm \u0026amp; rhyme\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ekeyword strategies (including the face-name association method)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ethe story method\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ethe loci or journey method\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ethe pegword method\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ethe link method\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ecoding mnemonics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile you can find basic information on these various mnemonic strategies in many books and websites, \u003cem\u003eMnemonics for Study\u003c\/em\u003e goes far beyond the same tired descriptions, using the latest research to explain exactly how these strategies work and are best used.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe hardest part of permanently improving your memory is changing your habits and becoming an effective user of effective strategies.
