Abstract
Research concerning the applied educational potential of Richard Atkinson's mnemonic “keyword method” is reported. Included are possibilities for stretching the limits of the keyword method by combining it with other mnemonic and prose‐learning strategies. Ten reasons are given for why mnemonic techniques should be introduced into educational curricula.Keywords
