In every life , especially in the world of education , activities memorize
certainly not foreign to us , from the lowest level only, eg during
kindergarten , we are faced with the task of considering the number , the name
, the name of the month and so on , up to the next stage we are still always
faced with the tasks given , for example, during the primary , has been taught
the names of the planets from the planet that has the shortest distance from
the Sun to the most distant planet from the sun starting planets Mercury, Venus
, Earth , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , Neptune , Pluto . From the ninth
planet has a quick way to remember which is usually referred to by the mnemonic
MEVEBMYSUNPI given by teachers and educators . Mnemonics this apparently is a
mnemonic technique .
Mnemonics is a technique that facilitates the storage or encryption , and
remembering ( recall ) the information in memory . How is touted as one of the
mnemonics is called an acrostic mnemonic techniques ( Acrostic ) , which is a
phrase or sentence in which the first letters of the words associated with that
should be remembered . Then , we 've given mnemonics to remember the names of
the colors in the refraction of light that is MEJIKUHIBINIU , which is an
acrostic of warmna red , orange , yellow , green , blue , indigo and violet .
Both forms of mnemonic or acrostic acrostic above is more commonly used by
educators to elementary school students , so suppose menemonik technique is the
solution of a given task because it is very helpful at the time of the test or
tests , thus requiring recalling the stored memory , if we save using mnemonic
techniques , one of which is expected kitra acrostic technique is able to
quickly and efficiently without a lot of time in the process of draining the
memory recall of previously recalled or recalling . Two of the above mnemonics
I have gained in elementary school , around the time the sixth grade , at that
age I was 12 years old , but now I 've aged 19 years , 7 years difference in
the passage of time is not a short time , especially since on the bench I never
heard the lecture again the words of the lecturer because I want to take
courses that are not longer in majoring in science but more psychology majors
lead to the social sciences . However , now I can still remember well the
material is due to mnemonic techniques that I use .
Questions and curiosity that arises when a child can easily memorize materials
quickly with very efficient is how it can be done , if indeed the child with
congenital factor IQ has, or is simply due to mnemonic , . ? ? We know that
something we can easily memorize when something is interesting , that the material
will make us remember it being more interesting and more memorable for
ourselves , for example, by the method of loci is a method that is able to
associate each object that will be remembered by place or objects that can
mengubungkannya . So we need agility in imageri or shadowing .
In my opinion , whether or not the easy and agile or not a child can memorize
quickly and well is dependent on the intelligence factor , a bright child must
be able to overcome all obstacles and tasks assigned to him , for example in
terms of the tasks given , and of course, a child who intelligent problem
solving which can perform using mnemonic techniques . Broadly speaking is a
bright child is able to apply mnemonic techniques in accordance with the
dexterity imagerinya so change something that initially complicated it becomes
easier and memorable to remember .
