Tricks To Retain Studied Information, Part I, Dr. Jennifer McCabe

Dr. Jennifer McCabe (Goucher College) shares some very useful memory mnemonics (study strategies) that anyone can use to organize information in a meaningful way to create lasting memories. Watch Part I and II of this video to learn about the powerful keyword mnemonic and the method of loci.

A like the idea of this kind of mnemonic, coming up with something that real inter-relations, rather than just superficial gimmicks/"childish illustrations" that don't really mean anything. As the description started I was afraid it would be the gimmicky version, suggesting some nonsensical association just for the sake of learning the word.
Inter-connecting different subjects in this way, even if somewhat gimmicky, is at least reinforcing "two" real knowledges instead of one and some childish allegory, otherwise useless. Seems like a better usage of brain space, and time.
