Abstract:
Mnemonic devices can be defined as learning
strategies which can often enhance the learning process
and later the recall of information. On the other hand,
mnemonic systems are special techniques or strategies
consciously used to improve memory, they help employ
information already stored in long-term memory in
order to make memorisation an easier task. There is
no doubt that mnemonic techniques are one of the
most important methods and methodologies used in
education. However, nowadays these methods seem
to be unremembered and seldom used by teachers or
students. There is a deficit in the actual reviews on this
subject. In this article we review mnemonic methods
from the point of view of teaching and learning science
subjects. This article is the first work in literature that
refers to and emphasises various and complex aspects of
mnemonic devices applications in didactic practice like
science learning and teaching, helping students with
disabilities and behaviour problems and second language
acquisition.
