Special Educational Applications of Mnemonics

  • Chapter
Imagery and Related Mnemonic Processes

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to a review and analysis of the use of mnemonic techniques in special areas of education, particularly with handicapped children and other nonstandard groups. Whereas this statement of purpose is straightforward, it has been our experience that considerable complexities are involved in fully establishing the value of mnemonics, itself a complex topic, in the realm of special education.
