What are Memory Aids?

  1. Acronyms: This helps you quickly recall the main topic of the lecture

  2. Acrostics: An acrostic is a sentence or phrase where the first letter of each word represents a key concept or term.

  3. Rhyme: A rhyme or song that incorporates the main points of the lecture or chapter.

  4. Chunking: This involves breaking down complex information into smaller, more manageable chunks that are easier to remember. By breaking down the lecture into these chunks, you can focus on understanding each part separately before putting them together.

  5. Visualisation: This involves describing a visual image or scene that represents the key concepts, making them more memorable.

  6. Analogies: The JamAI Assistant provides an analogy that relates the key concepts to a familiar idea or experience.

  7. Story telling: Creates a brief story that incorporates the main points of the lecture or chapter, making the information more engaging and easier to recall.

  8. Alliteration: The repetition of initial sounds in words creates a memorable phrase related to the key concepts.

  9. Memory Palace: Jam AI creates a memory palace, an imaginary location where each room or area represents a key concept from the lecture or chapter. By associating each concept with a specific location in the memory palace, you can mentally walk through the house to recall the information in a structured way.

The Memory Aids prompt in Jamworks AI Assistant transforms your study sessions by making complex information easier to recall. Whether you prefer catchy rhymes, vivid mental images, or structured memory palaces, JamAI is a powerful way to turn lectures into lasting knowledge - making exam prep faster, more enjoyable, and more effective.
