Chinese proverb says, “What you see once is worth what you hear a hundred times.”   Translated into English, that proverb became, “A picture paints a thousand words.”

“In recent years neuroscientists have uncovered astonishing facts about how the brain learns, stores, and retrieves information! The use of mnemonic applications is high on the list of the way the brain learns most naturally and efficiently.”

“Vocabulary Cartoons works on the principle of mnemonics. A mnemonic is a device that helps you remember something by associating what you are trying to remember with something you already know. A mnemonic device could be in many different forms like; rhymes, songs, pictures to name a few.

“Following the mnemonic principle of association, Vocabulary Cartoons link together an auditory (rhyming) word association and a visual association in the form of a humorous cartoon. These powerful mnemonics help students retain the meanings of words longer and with less effort than trying to memorize definitions straight out of a dictionary.”

In the example below, the new word FATHOM is associated (linked with) the rhyming word FAT THUMB, which in turn is then presented visually as a humorous cartoon. The more outrageous and bizarre the cartoon, the easier it is to remember.
