Identify and provide an example of an internal memory aid

ANSWER:


Internal aids are memory aids that rely on mental processes, such as imagery. Examples of internal memory aids are using rote rehearsal (repeating facts or information) and imagery (remembering the location of your car parked in a parking lot). Classic examples of formal internal strategies include the method of loci, mentally retracing, turning letters into numbers, and forming acronyms out of first letters of words (such as NASA). Most memory improvement courses train people to become proficient at one of these internal strategies.
