Description of the Phonetic Mnemonic System
The phonetic mnemonic is one of the most powerful memory systems. The first version was developed three hundred years ago, in 1648, by Winckelman who introduced a system where digits were represented by letters of the alphabet. In the 18th and 19th century, this memory system was further refined and it has remained essentially unchanged throughout the 20th century.

The key aspect of the Phonetic Mnemonic is that digits are represent by consonant sounds (the term 'phonetic' refers to speech sounds). This allows the fabrication of large numbers of peg words to be used in mental filing systems. It is also possible to code numbers directly into words and sentences.

This system takes more time to master than the others. To start learning and applying the system now, work through the steps below.

Step 1. Study the digit-sound groups (5 min)

Step 2. Verify the digit 'codes' of the example words (10 min)

Step 3. Use a trainer to learn digit-sound groups very thoroughly (15 min)

Step 4. Visualize and check up to 111 peg words (15 to 30 min)

Step 5. Use a trainer to learn the key words by heart (60 to 120 min)

Step 6. Apply the system to remembering long lists

Step 7. Use the system for advanced mental filing

Description of the Link System
For many common memory tasks, it is not sufficient to merely remember the facts. We must be able to verify that we remember all the facts. Sometimes we must remember them in a specific order, for example, when giving a public speech. Most of the memory systems discussed in these pages are therefore concerned with tying a fact (word, name, etc.) to a specific position.

In the Link System, positional ordering is achieved by associating the things-to-be-remembered with each other. They are simply chained, starting with the first item, which is associated with the second, the second with the third, etc. The very first item can be associated with the goal or the reason for the list that must be remembered.

A good application of this technique is a short list of things to do. One often thinks of different things to do, at times when it is not possible to write them down on a piece of paper, for example, while jogging, traveling, about to go to sleep, etc. A typical list could be:

* Buying cold medicine
* Writing a letter to a friend who lives in Australia
* Giving the dog a bath
* Mending a flat bicycle tire
* Making sure there is enough dry wood for the hearth

To apply the Link System, we first pick a single word to represent each task, for example iceberg, kangeroo, dog, bicycle, hearth. If you want to start doing them after finishing work, then that would be the starting point of the association, for example, the moment you step into your car. For a possible list of links imagine the following:

* A big iceberg sitting inside your car
* A kangeroo jumping around on the iceberg, throwing snow balls at you
* Your dog, climbing out of the the kangeroo's pouch
* Your dog then proceeding to ride on a little bicycle
* The little bicycle growing until it explodes into flames

In short
The link system is very straightforward and can be applied immediately. It is most effective for short lists, in which each word is link to the next. For ideas on how to associate (i.e., link) words, see the page on association.

Online Memory Improvement Course
Research in memory psychology shows that it is possible to improve your memory performance in specific areas by applying memory techniques. We explain a number of systems ranging from simple to sophisticated. The training steps are clearly laid out and in most cases online training software is provided. You do not have to download this software, because it is written entirely in JavaScript, a programming language that is already present on your browser.
Basic mnemonics
These mnemonics can be applied immediately, although it certainly pays off to practice them first. All of these mnemonics are based on elaboration and association, which why we start out with these. Elaboration adds more meaning to a word, while association makes sure that two words are thoroughly linked together in memory.
Elaboration
Association
Link System
Story System
Loci System
Journey System
Basic mental filing
Peg mnemonics
In the simplest version of this technique, a peg words is associated with each of the digits 1 to 10. It is then possible to associate the peg word with things-to-remember, for example, a shopping list or a speech. Variants include peg systems for the alphabet and months of the year. Peg mnemonics allow more advanced mental filing than the basic mnemonics. Most of these techniques can be learned in 20 to 30 minutes, although it requires some practice to get the most use out of them.
Rhyming Peg System for numbers 1-10 or 1-20
Shape Peg System for numbers 1-10
Alphabet Peg System for letters A-Z
Calendar Peg System for months January to December
Intermediate mental filing
Advanced mnemonics
This technique requires a greater time investment (at least two hours, plus regular practice afterwards), but the pay-offs are considerable, such as remembering lists of over 100 items.
Phonetic Mnemonic for numbers 00-100 and higher
Expanding existing mnemonic systems
Advanced mental filing
Applications
Names and faces
To-do lists and shopping lists
Speeches and lectures
Birthdates and other dates
Pin-codes and other numbers
