Mnemonics are methods of recalling different information using cues from physical objects, idioms, or other external entities. Some types of mnemonics include the method of loci and the keyword system. These devices are used as cues for retrieving difficult-to-recall memories, such as long lists or certain experiences. Mnemonics are very relevant to explicit memory or the cognitive system that stores conscious memories. These memories include episodic memories, or memories of specific situations previously encountered, and semantic memory, or memories about understanding the world (Gazzaniga et al., 2011). Mnemonics really make it easier to actively retrieve these memories. For example, by using the loci mnemonic method, or by associating a memory with objects physically placed in a familiar room, it is easier for an individual to recall the episodic memory of a person's name. Indeed, the easily visualized locations of objects in the room recall the memory of the person's name. These devices can similarly be used to enable semantics. ...
