The three memory techniques that work best with me are jingles, words, and pegging. I recall information through jingles to be more effective. I memorized telephone numbers of my faculty with a jingle I made up. Their numbers are the same but their extensions are different, so I recalled the information easier. The least effective to me was the story lines because if I am able to create a story I will end up going off track and confuse myself. I learn more from a jingle than words or pegging.
As long as the jingle is catchy I am able to retain any information like lyrics from the gold fish commercial; “The snack that smiles back Goldfish”. Every time I come across any goldfish I think about the song. Plus as a visual learner I can connect one thing to another.

Using the words memory technique I can also retain information. I used words before this exercise to remember order of operations with PEMDAS; please excuse my dear aunt Sallie, for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add and subtract.
Using the pegging technique for history is a good way for me to hold on to information as well. In order for me to understand what events happen during a specific decade I use different color note cards to separate the events. I try to make connections through colors; for instincts all the events I am required to learn through the 1970s I use a green note cards and blue note cards for the 80s and red cards for the 90s. In the future I will practice the VCR3 memory technique because of the visualization and concentration.
