mnemonic

Examples of mnemonic in the following topics:

• A Useful Mnemonic Rule

  • Although this modest mnemonic does not make explicit use of molecular orbitals, more rigorous methods that are founded on the characteristics of such orbitals have provided important insight into these reactions.

• A Useful Mnemonic for Regioselectivity

  • However, there is a simple mnemonic trick that will predict regioselectivity in many cases.
  • Always remember, this is just a mnemonic trick, most Diels-Alder reactions are concerted and do not proceed through a diradical intermediate.

• Strategies for Improving Memory Quality and Duration

  • Another way to improve memory is through the use of a mnemonic device.
  • Mood congruence is a possible mnemonic device, but one that is not easily employed.
  • Environmental structuring is another mnemonic that is useful as part of a routine.
  • Overlearning is a very powerful mnemonic for both procedural and semantic memories.
  • Spaced practice is a better mnemonic strategy than massed practice.

• Sine, Cosine, and Tangent

  • The mnemonic SohCahToa can be used to solve for the length of a side of a right triangle.
  • A common mnemonic for remembering these relationships is SohCahToa, formed from the first letters of “Sine is opposite over hypotenuse (Soh), Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse (Cah), Tangent is opposite over adjacent (Toa).”
  • Remembering the mnemonic, "SohCahToa", the sides given are opposite and adjacent or "o" and "a", which would use "T", meaning the tangent trigonometric function.
  • Remembering the mnemonic, "SohCahToa", the sides given are the hypotenuse and opposite or "h" and "o", which would use "S" or the sine trigonometric function.

• Introduction to Memory Encoding

  • An example of a mnemonic is remembering the colors of the rainbow by the name Roy G.
  • Chunking and mnemonics (discussed below) aid in semantic encoding; sometimes, deep processing and optimal retrieval occurs.
  • Mnemonic devices, sometimes simply called mnemonics, are one way to help encode simple material into memory.
  • A mnemonic is any organization technique that can be used to help remember something.
  • Another type of mnemonic is an acronym, in which a person shortens a list of words to their initial letters to reduce their memory load.

• The Order of Operations

  • In the United States, the acronym PEMDAS is a common mnemonic for remembering the order of operations.
  • This mnemonic can be misleading, however, because the "MD" implies that multiplication must be performed before division and the "AS" that addition must be performed before subtraction, rather than acknowledging their equal precedence.
  • To avoid this confusion altogether, an alternative way to write the mnemonic is:
  • This mnemonic makes the equivalence of multiplication and division and of addition and subtraction clear.

• Some Examples of Pericyclic Reactions

  • With this caveat in mind, extensive lists of pericyclic reactions may be assembled, and their rationalization by the previously noted mnemonic or orbital analysis is both remarkably successful and instructive.

• One-Time Contributions and Feedback

  • An educator using Boundless can suggest tips or heuristics they use in the classroom, such as a certain mnemonic device, be included in our content to help students learn.

• Carboxylic Acid Natural Products

  • A mnemonic phrase for the C10 to C20 natural fatty acids capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and arachidic is: "Curly, Larry & Moe Perform Silly Antics" (note that the names of the three stooges are in alphabetical order).

• Make Messages Easy to Remember

  • It allows items to be remembered through the mnemonic system, which includes mentally associat ing them with specific physical locations.
  • Mnemonic - Mnemonics are often verbal, such as very short poems or special words used to help with memorization (e.g., lists).
