Chain AnalogyDifferent pieces of
knowledge arelinked together
like a chain.Many times, if you can remember the information in one of the links
in a chain, you will remember information in many of the other
links.
When you apply the LINCS LINCS StrategyStrategy to a word you need to remember, you create a strong chain between the word and its
meaning.
The stronger the links
between pieces of information, the easier you can remember them. The weaker the links, the more
difficulty you'll have remembering them.
The LINCS Memory Chain
Word
Using the LINCS Strategy transforms
a potentially weak link between a word and its definition
into a chain of very strong links.
