Pegging For Memory The Pegging System uses association, visualization, and attachment for remembering. With this system, you “attach” what you want to remember to something that is already familiar to you. This is a visual method to remember lists, sequences, and even categories of information. Most peg systems use numbers and rhyming words to correspond such as: 1 = sun 2 = shoe 3 = bee 4 = shore 5 = alive 6 = sticks 7 = heaven 8 = gate 9 = fine 10 = sin To attach information to the number, you visually attach the word (sun, shoe, me, shore, etc…) to the word you want to remember. For example if you wanted to remember a shopping list that included ice cream, rice, milk, paper towels, water, and cookies, you might: See ice cream melting in the sun See rice filling a shoe See bees flying around a roll of paper towels See milk rushing to the shore See water keeping you alive on a deserted island See cookies being offered to you on a stick
