Applications of Memory Techniques presents interesting methods to learn quickly. We have discussed previously about how Memory Techniques makes learning easy, fast and remembered longer. Let us look, how we can apply it to learn simple to complex portions of education.
Imagination
To memorize anything, we need to apply the principle of imagination which means that we need to form a visible image of every word we are trying to memorize with the help of our memory techniques. To resemble an image from a word we need to think of a tangible object which sounds like the word.
Let us try with an example. Telephone was invented by Graham Bell. Now it’s a very popular and renowned fact and most of you might know it already. But let us apply our memory principle to it.

Funny thing here is, had the telephone been invented by your great grandfather or your neighbours great grandfather, it would have been very easy to remember. But we can safely assume that Mr. Graham Bell can be forgotten easily as he is not in your visual memory.
So how do we imagine Graham Bell? Let’s try to find a word which closely resembles Graham Bell.

Association
Now we have a word ready to be associated with the question. Association is the process of making a meaningful relation with some action
