Mnemonic-trained brain tuning to a regular odd-even pattern subserves digit memory in children

Y. Pan, N. Hao, et al.

Discover how mnemonic training can enhance short-term memory in children, based on exciting findings from an EEG study conducted by Yafeng Pan and colleagues. With specific neural patterns predictive of memory improvements, this research sheds light on the cognitive benefits of mnemonics.

Abstract
This electroencephalography (EEG) study investigated the effects of mnemonic training on digit memory in children. A group of children underwent 22 days of digit-image mnemonic training, showing improved short-term memory afterward, but with limited generalization. Training resulted in regular odd-even neural patterns (enhanced P200 and theta power during even-position digit encoding), which predicted memory improvement. This suggests mnemonics alter encoding patterns to enhance memory.
