to entertain a thought
without accepting it.

Memorizing using imaging
Memorization using mental imaging, or image-naming:
creating relationships between the name and
the physical
characteristics of a person
Simply invent any relationship between the name and the physical characteristics of the person.
For example, if you had to remember someone you met with the
name Shirley,
you might keep the name in memory by noticing
that she has (or has not!) "curly" (rhymes with Shirley) hair.

"...visual inspection and verbal elaboration — resulted in improved
memory results,
according to Kirchhoff (2006).
"Those individuals who used the first two strategies often had better
memory performance than those who used them rarely or not at all," said
Kirchhoff. "There's a great deal of variability in strategy use when people
are free to choose their own learning techniques. We also discovered that
individual people use multiple strategies to learn new information."
