Mnemonics is an effective technique for improving learning skills. It helps increase learning comprehension and enhances the brain's retention capacity.
Our brain compartmentalizes and stores information. However, when learning something new, it's necessary to easily correlate that information. Here, mnemonics plays an important role, because it increases learning fluency and improves cognition.
For example, when we want to remember difficult words, using contextualization makes it easier. By using juxtaposition to present words in analogous patterns, the brain can easily assimilate them.
Students who are adept at using mnemonics can quickly encapsulate information. This makes education holistic rather than just a game of memory, which facilitates true learning capacity.
