Mnemonic Link System




A probably more effective method rather than creating a story is to actually link each element of the list with the following, "seeing" in one's mind's eye a ridiculous, absurd or just shocking image that includes two elements in the list that are next to each other. For example, if we wanted to easily memorize the last list one would imagine his or her dog inside of a giant envelope, then one would "see" an unlucky black cat (or whatever that reminds the user 'thirteen') eating a huge envelope. The same logic should be used with the rest of the items. Combining this method with others, like the Peg System and the Major System (which is used to retain numbers), we can easily get what some people call a trained memory.

However, in order to access a certain element of the list, one needs to "traverse" the system (much in the same vein as a Linked List ), in order to get the element from the system.
