Chaining and Story (Memory Techniques) Chaining All chaining does is make one item of information the trigger for the next piece of information. As an example let's take the order of the planets from our sun. Imagine (in as much lively detail as you can), taking several seconds over each image: A thermometer being used to take the temperature of a statue of the Venus de Milo.The Venus de Milo crumbling to become earth. Now, starting with the thermometer can you recall all the images and name the planets in order? Story Unsurprisingly, in this memory trigger technique you link together the items to be remembered in a story. To take the order of the planets as an example. "You want to do some gardening so you check the Mercury (obvious encoding) in the thermometer and then consult a Venn diagram (Venus - initial syllable) to see what it means for the weather. This was made up on the spot from a list of the order of the planets (sniff - bye bye Pluto). Combining Story and Chaining Methods Advantages and Disadvantages

Brain Fitness and Cognitive Health Authority: Market Research an Mind Map From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diagram to visually organize information A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information into a hierarchy, showing relationships among pieces of the whole.[1] It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas. Mind maps can also be drawn by hand, either as "notes" during a lecture, meeting or planning session, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Mind maps are considered to be a type of spider diagram.[2] Origins[edit] Differences from other visualizations[edit] Research[edit] Effectiveness[edit] Features[edit] Automatic creation[edit] There have been some attempts to create mind maps automatically.
