There are various kinds of mnemonics working as memory devices. You will find many examples of mnemonics differing in varieties and flavors. The usefulness of a mnemonic is dependent upon the thoughts of people using it. Mnemonics are basically both visual and verbal.Some mnemonic examples are:
Musical Mnemonics: There are several musical mnemonic examples. For example the ‘ABC’ song through which kids learn and remember the letters of the alphabet.
Word or Expression mnemonics: Word mnemonics are known to be the best and most widely used mnemonics. In this type of mnemonics the first alphabetical letter of each word in a list is organized to make a phrase or word. For example the word ‘FANBOYS’ stands for the seven conjunctions that are- For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet and So. Also another Mnemonic worth knowing: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: an acrostic mnemonic for the names of the notes on the treble clef.
I before E
Except after C,
Or when sounded as A
As in neighbor and weigh.
(A rhyming mnemonic for a common spelling rule)
Name mnemonics: The first alphabet of each character from a list of facts is used to form a name of a commodity or an individual. For example if you pick the first letter from the colors of rainbow it becomes ‘VIBGYOR’. Each letter of this word represents a color: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red respectively.
Model Mnemonics: Model mnemonics characterize some information by devising models to help people to realize and remember them. Pie diagram is an example of model mnemonics.
