Strategies for Building a Winning Vocabulary using Mental Associations
Many SAT winners have successfully used one or more of the strategies below to remember 1000 word wordlists in just a few days.
- OUT OF PROPORTION - In all your images, try to distort size and shape. You can imagine things much larger than their normal size or conversely, microscopically small.
- SUBSTITUTION - You could visualise footballers kicking a television around a football pitch instead of a football, or pens growing on a tree instead of leaves. Substituting an out of place item in an image increases the probability of recall.
-EXAGGERATION - Try to picture vast quantities in your images.
- MOVEMENT - Any movement or action is always easy to remember. For example, Tutorial 1 suggested that you see yourself cutting into a sausage and gallons of ink squirting out and hitting you in the face.e.g. the word ricochet means to bounce or skip off. This word can easily be linked with Rick, you might be a person you know. Imagine your friend jumping on to a wall head on and then bouncing off from it. Think of his dazed face when he skips off the wall, imagine the vivid color of the wall.
- HUMOUR - The funnier, more absurd and zany you can make your images, the more memorable they will be.e.g. the word torpid means slow. Torpid can easily be linked to Torpedo. Imagine a Torpedo chasing away a tortoise. Imagine the tortoise trying to get away from teh torpedo and the torpedo unable to keep up with the speed of the tortoise. Imagine it happening in a small path in teh Jungle. Imagine the torpedo making a hissing sound. Make the picture as vivid as possible.You will never forget the meaning of torpid again.
Applying any combination of these five principles when forming your images will help make your mental associations truly outstanding and memorable.
At first you may find that you need to consciously apply one or more of the five principles in order to make your pictures sufficiently ludicrous. After a little practice however, you should find that applying the principles becomes an automatic and natural process
- When you learn new words, make sure you learn them in a context. It is much easier to picture a sentence rather than a word in isolation.
-Since a lot of English words are derived from Greek & Latin roots, it makes sense to be aware of these and the suffixes and prefixes commonly used.
- Pay attention to the tone of the words, whether soft or hard, harsh or mind, negative or positive
This could help you guess when in doubt, especially in the Sentence Completion section.
- Play games like scrabble & crosswords. This will make building vocabulary fun and you will not get put off after sometime.
- Perhaps the Best way to increase your vocabulary is to read, read and read. There is absolutely
no substitute for that! Reading helps you learn new words from the context in which they are used, thereby making it easy to remember the new words and more importantly, how and when it is used.
