Definition

  • Remembering information when one needs it, whether it is the name of an old friend one meets on the street, the answer to a question in a game of Trivial Pursuit, or the facts needed to answer a question on an exam is a challenge all people have faced. Mnemonics are aids or techniques for organizing information and encoding information to help an individual recall it when he or she needs it.
