XIN RU
Acronyms
Acronyms are when you use the first letter of a word to make a sentence so that it
is easier to remember. For example to remember the positions of the planets in
our solar system we could use the following acronym:
M- my
V-Very
E-Educated
M-Mother
J-Just
S-Showed
U-Us
N-Nature

Memory Palace
Memory palace is where you
Motorcycle
replace the thing you want to (meeting)
remember with an object in
your room. For example, you
have a meeting coming up.
And you look at something
that starts with ‘M’ like a
motorcycle. Next time you go
to your garage, and you see a
motorcycle you will remember
that you have a meeting.

Music 𝄞
The person's ability to use music to learn and recall the information involved.
Example:
Seven Continents Song
The song helps you remember the seven continents

Chunking
Chunking is a process by which individual pieces of an information set are
broken down and grouped in a meaningful whole. It helps the brain to
remember stuff more efficiently. For example: here is the number
80119221913; you break it into pieces like this: 8011 - 922 - 1913. That way, it’s
easier to remember, for it is shorter.

Acrostic
An acrostic consists of a phrase in one of the letters in a word to help you remember
the word easier. For example:
S- Spring flowers
P- Play outside
R- Ride your bike
I- Italian ices
N- Nice weather
G- Get a tan
Thank you for (hopefully) paying
attention to our presentation!
