Mnemonic (Keyword technique)

Assign a "keyword" that sounds similar to the Concept/Term. To memorise the Description, visually connect the "keyword" to the description. The more eccentric the visual connection is the easier it is to recall information.

A simple example is memoprising the term "radius". Note that a redius is the line from the centre point of the ciricle that extends to a point on the circle's circumference.

Radish in the centre of a circle

The word "radius" sounds like a "radish". To remember the definition of "radius", one might picture the bulb of a radish at the centre of a circle with the radish swinging like a pendulum.

Step

This game starts by getting you to remember two of your terms and concepts. Subsequently, the game adds two concepts to your list to practice until you've tested your ability to remember all your terms and concepts in one go.

Using the keyword technique (mnemonic), memorise the Terms/Concepts and their Descriptions. It is best to read the information quickly and then re-read the information at a slower pace with intent.
