The "One-Bun" memory strategy is one of the easiest memory training applications available. It uses the power of pegging and association to link images together and make them far easier to recall. Let's take a look at how this method improves your ability to recall information.
The one-bun method uses mnemonics by associating a number (one, two , three etc) and the second word (the peg image) with what you want to memorize. The most commonly used numbers and pegs are as follows: one- bun, two-shoe, three-tree, four-door, five-hive, six-sticks, seven-heaven, eight-gate, nine-vine and ten-hen.
Don't be concerned if you must remember more than items (most people would!) You can use this method to recall as many items as you need as long as you can continue to count and continue to think of peg items. Also, it is important to note that it is advised that you make the peg images something you find very easy to remember because if you forget them then you will forget everything!
Imagine that you have to remember ten important presidents of the United States (obviously you would normally need to remember many more items than this but the same principles apply no matter how many items it is). The names to remember are Andrew Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Woodrow Wilson, George Washington, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman. So let's use the one-bun method to recall three of these names by associating some of these presidents with an image.
The Five-Hive Association. Imagine Bob Marley, the King of Reggae music, with a beehive stuck on his head running all around trying to get it off. "Reggae" sounds very similar to Reagan.
The Nine-Vine Association. Imagine two apes linking arms and swinging on a vine. They swing right into a tree. Wham! That hurts! "Apes linking" sounds very similar to Abe Lincoln.
The Three-Tree Association. Imagine a bomb is planted in a tree and it explodes and tree branches go flying everywhere. Bomb rhymes with Tom, which will help remind you of Thomas Jefferson.
And there you have it! Pretty simple isn't it? Keep in mind that each number is pegged and the peg image is then associated with what you need to recall. Also keep in mind that when you are creating the associations (and yes you will need to use that wonderful thing called your imagination) it's important to make the associations weird, wonderful and lame. Why? You will remember them more easily of course. And that's the name of the game.
It is important to understand that the pen images are used every time you use this method. So you always use one-bun, two-shoe, three-tree and so on. You do not change the peg images. It is the secondary images and stories that must change. Good luck!
