1. Mnemonic (noun):
learning technique that aids information retention.
Mnemonics aim to translate information into a form that the human brain can retain better than its original form. E.g Drawing links from what you already know to remember something (like when learning a new language, you try to remember the new language by relating it to languages you already know), stimulants of mnemonic activity (Knuckle mnemonic for the number of days in each month of the Gregorian Calendar. Each projecting knuckle represents a 31-day month)
