Pegword System
The Pegword system uses a familiar list of information to link new or
unfamiliar information together to help with recall. It can also be used
with interactive images. For example, if you wanted to be reminded
of the following items; glasses, an elephant, a lamp, and a book every
time you hear happy birthday, can you visualize an elephant standing
next to a lamp with glasses singing the words to happy birthday while
he reads it out of a book. By having the elephant sing happy birthday,
you are creating an association with the song. Every time you think of
the image, you create a stronger association, and if the association is
strong enough, then every time you hear someone sing happy
birthday, you’ll remember the interactive image of the elephant.
The Pegword system can be used to ‘peg’ meaning to almost anything
to help your recall. For example, if you wanted to remember numbers
a different way, you could remember the following list:
1 = Sun
2 = Shoe
3 = Tree
4 = Door
5 = Alive
6 = Stick
7 = Heaven
8 = Gate
9 = Time (or watch)
0 = Hero (like superman)
This list should be easy to remember because each of the numbers are
represented by a word that rhymes with it.
The next step is to then link a story to the number you want to
remember. Let’s say that you want to remember when Christopher
Columbus discovered America. Most people would use the rhyme “
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492” however the rhyme only
rhymes with ‘2’, so if you don’t remember the whole year you are still
stuck trying to remember when he sailed the ocean blue.
By using the pegword system you will just need to remember the
image of Columbus and you will know the rest.
