A Set of Visual/Phonetic Memory Pegs
The human memory works best by a process of association. The use of Memory Pegs is a time honored system to capitalise on the memory’s strong point. First a list of words is learnt. This becomes your standand image list. For Example, 1: Tie, 2 Noah, 3 Mat, 4 Arrow etc. At some time later when you have another list of information to remember you simply associate each element from the new list with an element from the standard list. For example if you had a shopping list of butter, bread, soap and cereal, you would picture a butter stain on your tie, Noah feeding bread to the animals, washing your door mat and a cereal box with an arrow through it. Then sometime later when you need to remember your shopping list you recall your standard list in order and the visual association readily comes to mind. Learning a set of standard memory pegs is valuable tool that every serious student should acquire.
This set of memory pegs is a visually & phonetically based set of 110 images for use with the FlashFact software. (one image for the digits 0 through 9 and one image for each digit pair from 00 through 99). After you have memorised these cards they will be very useful for remembering not just lists but numbers and dates as well. For example once you know the list if you wanted to remember that Mt Rushmore was started in 1927 you would picture Gutzon Borglum living in a teepee and the foot of the mountain as he starts carving George Washington’s neck. (Teepee/neck = 1927)
