MEDIATION/BRIDGING

• a bridge is built in between the items given to be memorized.

• This technique is best suited for learning material involving word pairs or material that can be reduced to word pairs.

Page 9: How to improve your memory

EXAMPLE

• An example often cited by memory experts is the learning of the capital of Poland. The capital of Poland is Warsaw. World War II started with Germany's attack on Poland.

• Thus it may be arranged as Poland SAW War first.

• Here, the word pair to be connected together is Poland and Warsaw. The additional information of the World War II is used as a bridge or mediator in bringing these two words together.
