I guess I’m more of a visual and oral person when it comes to learning.
I learn best by drawing mind maps for different topics. This enables me to see a clearer picture and make connections between various points. I also prefer remembering definitions using my own terminologies as I tend to recall them more than actually memorising them word-for-word.
Creating abbreviations/nonsensical (profane at times) phrases is also one style that I utilise to remember long strings of information.
Example, colours of the rainbow:
R (ed)
O (range)
Y (ellow)
Gives (Green)
Birth (Blue)
In (Indigo)
Vietnam (Violet)
Making associations using Visual and Oral mnemonics in Physics:
AC (Alternative Current; Fleming’s right-hand rule): All right handers “Act Cute”
DC (Direct Current; Fleming’s left-hand rule): All left-handers are “Damn Cute”
MFC (Directions for Motion, Field, Current): Mother Fucking Cute
Well, you get the idea.
