Memory Support Techniques

Memory support techniques are strategies that enhance our ability to remember information. They include methods like visualization, where you create mental images of what you want to remember, and mnemonics, such as using acronyms or rhymes. Chunking involves breaking down large amounts of information into smaller, manageable parts. Repetition reinforces memory through practice, while active engagement, like teaching the material to someone else, solidifies understanding. These techniques can make it easier to store and recall general knowledge effectively, improving learning and retention in everyday life.
