the Peg System

The Peg System is a memory technique that helps you recall information by associating it with a pre-memorized list of "pegs" or mental cues. These pegs are often numbers, rhymes, or images that act as anchors. When you need to remember a list, you visualize each item linked to a specific peg, making it easier to retrieve later. For example, using numbers and rhymes (1-bun, 2-shoe), you associate items with these pegs in order, transforming abstract items into vivid mental images attached to familiar cues, thereby enhancing recall efficiency.
