Memory Mnemonics Whenever there is a test on a long list of words, it can be pretty hard to remember it. This project is all about what will help you remember that list, and which one seems to help you the best. Mnemonics are a way to help you remember something, so in order to test this, the experiment consisted of volunteers who had to remember a list of twenty cities in California. The results showed that mnemonics do indeed help a person remember a list of anything. The next experiment tested which mnemonic out of word, song, rhyme, and connection helped the volunteer remember the list of groceries best. The results for this experiment showed that all mnemonics that were tested were all very effective in remembering the list. The conclusion that this experiment seems to come up with is that anyone who uses mnemonics, and puts their creativity to the test while using them, will be able to remember a list with this very helpful tool.
