- ^Introduction - The Peg System\
-
- Having thoroughly learned the rules of the Phonetic Alphabet, you are now
- equipped to tackle the most versatile amd powerful of all the Memory Master
- systems - the |Peg System\.
-
- You have already learned how to memorise any list of items in sequence,
- using the Link system. But supposing you wanted to recall, say, what the
- seventh item of a list was - how would you do it ? You'd probably have to go
- over the Link in your mind and count the items one by one, until you reached
- the seventh item.
-
- The |Peg System\ enables you to memorise any list of items - in >and out\ of
- order. For example, think back to the Tutorial on Substitute Words, where
- you memorised a list of the twelve largest English counties, in sequence.
- If you were to memorise that list using the Peg System you would
- ^automatically\ know that, for instance, the fifth largest county is
- Norfolk, and that the ninth largest county is Hampshire.#
-
- The Peg System uses a series of <Peg Words\, based on the Phonetic Alphabet.
- Every number from 1 to 100 has its own Peg Word, which can be associated to
- anything you want to remember. The Peg Word then gives you a reference back
- to the number that it represents.
-
- Tutorial 11 introduces the Peg Word concept, and teaches you Peg Words for
- the numbers 1 to 20, which you need to learn thoroughly before proceeding
- any further.
-
- Tutorial 12 takes you through a detailed example of how to put the Peg Words
- to practical use.
-
- Tutorial 13 teaches you Peg Words for the numbers 21 to 100. This tutorial
- is different from all the others, in that you do not have to work through it
- all. One of the beauties of the Peg System is its flexibility - you only
- have to learn as many Peg Words as you will actually need to use. This will
- depend on the type of memory chores to which you decide to apply the Peg
- System.
