Elaborative encoding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elaborative encoding is a mnemonic that relates to-be-remembered information to previously existing memories and knowledge.[1]
One can make such connections visually, spatially, semantically or acoustically. Practitioners use multiple techniques, such as the method of loci, the link system, the peg-word method, PAO (person, action, object), etc., to store information in long-term memory and to make it easier to recall this information in the future. Many experiments have been done in order to examine elaborative encoding, some of them are listed below.
