Briefly explain the memory strategy called "keyword strategy."
What will be an ideal response?
Keyword strategy involves information in which two sets of words or labels are paired. For instance, in learning a foreign language, a foreign word is paired with a common English word that has a similar sound. The English word is the keyword. An example may be the Spanish word for duck is "pato," and the keyword (English word) may be "pot." The learner trying to recall the Spanish word can key on the familiar word "pot" which will bring about a mental image of the two words interacting with one another. So the learner may imagine a duck in a pot and remember that the Spanish word for duck is "pato."
