I personally think that a good mnemonic is easier to remember than abstract sounds, numbers and symbols. The way that mnemonics create images out of difficult to remember raw information is I think a really good study tool.

Hi,

Mnemonics are like any other form of information. Yes they can be forgotten if not firmed up occasionaly, but then so does any other form of learning.

Mnemonics are very good tools however for aquiring and retaining information.
