The pegword method
The pegword method is a mnemonic technique that helps you remember lists or sequences by associating each item with a pre-memorized "peg" word that rhymes or connects with a number. For example, if your peg words are “one - bun,” “two - shoe,” “three - tree,” etc., you visualize each item interacting with its corresponding peg. This way, you create a vivid mental image linking the item to its designated word, making recall easier. It's effective because it combines verbal cues with visualization, leveraging associations to improve memory retention for ordered information.
