Visualization & Association
Memory improves when recall has strong cues. Visualization turns
abstract information into concrete sensory material. Association links
that material into structures you can traverse: chains, scenes, and
substitutions that feel obvious in the moment of recall.

If the cue feels normal, it’s easy to forget. Make it specific,
exaggerated, and sensory.
