Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Mnemonic devices – otherwise known as memory enhancers – represent a critical component in overcoming learning stumbling blocks. Whether child or adult, minor learning impediment or significant, mnemonic devices help people in everyday situations where certain information must be permanently absorbed (remembered) by the brain. Some people have no problem storing information after seeing it just once or twice; others, however, need the extra assistance of mnemonic devices. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

everyday situations where certain information must be permanently absorbed (remembered) by the brain. Some people have no problem storing information after seeing it just once or twice; others, however,
need the extra assistance of such mnemonic devices as rhyming association, grouping and imagery. Additional devices include: * Acronym - an invented combination of letters with each
letter acting as a cue to an idea you need to remember. * Acrostic - an invented sentence where the first letter of each word is a cue to an

word or idea you have to remember will cue the next idea you need to recall (Keely, 2004). The keyword technique is
especially useful for those learning a foreign language, understanding how an integral part of mastering that language is in learning the words, which become stored in the brains memory bank
to be brought up when they are heard again and again. This is precisely the reason people do not understand a language they have not learned; the words have
