Brown and Miller list some more memorizing techniques.
Memorizing
through association
It easier to remember something if
we link it to something we already know. Try to relate new information to
personal examples as much as possible.

Memorizing through repetition
This is probably the one aspect
of studying that most people know – and dread. However,
even though most of us
know that we should
have lots of repetition, we don't know how important it
actually is.
Repetition, in
the context of memorization, means different interactions with
the new material. In other words, it is more than a simple
rereading of notes. It could include making flashcards,
talking as you draw your mind maps, and writing summaries.

Memorizing through grouping
One of the key
aspects of memory performance is to learn the material from the
general to the specific. In order to achieve this, graphic
organizers are often a must. Your brain needs
some kind of mental organization in order for you to retrieve
the stored information. |

Memorizing through mnemonic
techniques
Mnemonics are
very powerful memorization devices that work especially
well for memorizing lists and sequences of items.
The
key to mnemonics is to build a strong association
between the mnemonic and for what they stand.
Mnemonics take a little bit of practice, but become
easier the more you use them. |
