Memory Techniques for Effective Learning

 

1. Mnemonics

VIBGYOR → Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red (Colors of the rainbow)

BODMAS → Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction (Math order of operations)

2. Chunking Method

Breaking long information into small groups to remember easily.

Example: 9867543210 can be remembered as 986-754-3210.

3. Loci Method

Associating information with familiar locations (like rooms in a house).

Example: Room 1 = Fundamental Rights, Room 2 = Directive Principles of State Policy.

4. Acronyms

Using the first letter of multiple words to form a short, memorable word.

Example: HOMES (Great Lakes - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).

5. Storytelling Method

Turning difficult information into a story.

Example: Creating a travel story to remember the continents of the world.

6. Spaced Repetition

Reviewing information at increasing intervals (1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 15 days).

7. Association Method

Linking new information with existing knowledge.

Example: 'Earth has 71% water' → 'The human body also has around 70% water'.

8. Mind Maps

Using diagrams to organize and visualize related information.
