    Allan Paivio's dual-coding theory is a basis of picture superiority effect. Paivio claims that pictures have advantages over words with regards to coding and retrieval of stored memory because pictures are coded more easily and can be retrieved from symbolic mode, while the dual coding process using words is more difficult for both coding and retrieval.

    Another useful way to improve memorization is to use chunking, a method in which a person categorizes the information they are trying to memorize into groups.

    The observation that absurd images are easier to remember is known as the Von Restorff effect, although the success of this effect was refuted by several studies (Hock et al. 1978; Einstein 1987), which found that the established connection between the two words is more important than the image's absurdity.

  7. Morse code mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_mnemonics

    In Czech, the mnemonic device to remember letters in Morse code lies in remembering words or short phrases that begin with each appropriate letter and have a long vowel (i.e. á é í ó ú ý) for every dash and a short vowel (a e i o u y) for every dot. Additionally, some other sets of words with a particular theme have been thought up in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_versus_know...

    Therefore, remember responses are affected by the expected strength of distinctiveness of items in a given context. In addition, context can affect remember and know responses while not affecting recollection and familiarity processes. [20] Remember and know responses are subjective decisions that can be affected by underlying memory processes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_word

    Sight words account for a large percentage (up to 75%) of the words used in beginning children's print materials. [6] [7] The advantage for children being able to recognize sight words automatically is that a beginning reader will be able to identify the majority of words in a beginning text before they even attempt to read it; therefore, allowing the child to concentrate on meaning and ...
