Mnemonic

Have you ever heard about the mnemonic? Do you know what it does mean? If you don’t know let me tell you this is one technique which enhances your memory capability. I mean you will be able to memorize a huge amount of text or any other things for longer time than you were usually able to memorize for. It is very helpful for the student, teacher and generally to all the people.
So it might be very interesting to know about this techniques won’t it be? There are lots and lots of techniques that would lie under the mnemonic but I will briefly discuss about acronym only this time.
Acronym: Acronym is process of formation of some special word by taking the first letter of the word that we have to memorize. For example, if we have to remember the five steps of the nursing process assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation, then we have to take just the first letters of the each word and it would become ADPIE, which is much easier to remember than the whole lot of words itself. In this acronym technique, we can rearrange the letters to our wish so that it would be easy for us to remember. T hose letters can be formed in the word that we would use it everyday or we would remember it easily. It has been proved that if the letters are arrange is form of the funny word it would be remember for the long time, not only this much if the letter tend to make up some word related to the sex, it will be remember for the longer time than the usual. Formation of the story with the first letter of the words that we have to remember does help to keep something in our mind for long time.
I hope this technique might be very much helpful to remember something for our exams.
