Mnemonic Devices
Mnemonic Devices is the use of tricks like rhymes or phrases to help you remember facts.
Think of it this way
A kitchen drawer has sections that keep spoons, forks, and knives in their own spots. Each slot acts like a hook that pulls the right item to hand fast. When you use a rhyme or phrase, you build those same slots in your brain. The trick links a new fact to a spot you can find again.
