Using two pointers to the lyrics seems to give more than twice the chance of remembering them. If they're written out, the sight of them on a page helps too- which lends weight to your note that a mash of methods is going to work well. | |

It's for sure that different methods will reinforce each other to an extent. I've heard that taste and smell are the two senses that most directly trigger associations - I should try to come up with a way of learning based on those! | |

| Mar 9, 2015 at 1:11 | comment | added | Rockin Cowboy | @topomorto Yep - I agree that most people learn in more than one way which is why I suggested that all methods should be employed and that to some extent, all would be effective. But thanks for the link. I think my answer can be improved thanks to your suggestion - will edit now. Thanks. | |

One small thing - although there are different ways of learning (visual, aural, etc.) and people may have their preferences, the idea that people learn better with a technique that's meshed to them (such that you can characterize an individual person as e.g. kinaesthetic) seems to have fallen out of favour a bit at the moment (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles reflects this.) Of course you may not agree! | |
