Mnemonics are techniques developed to aid memory. According to Craik and Lockhart's level of processing model, mnemonics work because you are putting effort into your learning, organising information in a distinctive way. this encourages deep processing, which in turn leads to long lasting, enduring memories.

Remember -
- Visual mnemonics are apparently better than verbal mnemonics due to dual-processing
- Mnemonics may not be suitable to everyone (learning styles and disabilities may have an impact on the success of the mnemonic used)
