Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peg-word method and method of loci are both mnemonic devices used to remember information. The peg-word method involves creating an association between a list of items and a pre-memorized list of words (or "pegs"), while the method of loci involves associating information with specific locations in a familiar space. These techniques are not related to inducing false memories, tip-of-the-tongue experiences, or the recovery of repressed memories.
