Visual mnemonics

Visual mnemonics are memory aids that use images, symbols, or visual associations to help remember information. In the context of general knowledge, they can simplify complex concepts by linking facts to vivid illustrations or memorable scenes. For example, to remember the order of planets, one might visualize a quirky story involving them. This technique leverages the brain's natural ability to recall images more easily than words alone, enhancing learning and retention. By creating a mental picture, information becomes more engaging and easier to recall later.
