A review of the literature on memory enhancement : the potential and relevance of mnemotechnics for military training

This report reviews the literature on memory enhancement and assesses the potential of techniques designed to enhance memory (mnemotechnics) for military training. An overview describes a wide range of mnemotechnics. After a review of the empirical literature on mnemotechnics, a research strategy is offered for applying mnemonics and mnemotechnics to military training. Mnemonics and mnemotechnics have the potential to significantly enhance training effectiveness. However, if they are not carefully researched and implemented, it is likely that their training potential will be mitigated, if not entirely lost. This report is intended primarily for professional researchers to identify areas of needed research. It can also be used by the military training community to assess the training potential of mnemonics and mnemotechnics. (Author).
