Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine students find pharmacology challenging because it is complicated, yet they still need to understand facts about the mechanism of actions of drugs and how to use this knowledge in clinical settings. Mnemonics are strategies that can enhance learning and memory of course material. Mnemonics are memory techniques that aid in chunking and organising material to be learnt; as a result, they improve encoding and ease retrieval. There are variety of forms that include acronyms and acrostics (also known as first-letter mnemonics), the loci method, the pegword method, the keyword approach, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic mnemonics, and a group of semantic-based mnemonic devices such as rhymes, songs, and stories.
