APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & MNEMONIC APPLICATIONS -
MNEMONICS IN LEARNING FOREIGN VOCABULARY
Akbar Kamal
The primary goal of the theory presented in this paper is to propose a method to study and develop the use of mnemonics using artificial intelligence in remembering foreign vocabulary.
I am basically interested in designing a solution, which will allow computers to help the learners in generating their ‘own’ mnemonics for remembering foreign words.
The challenge is to analyze the ‘word’ to be remembered and then suggest patterns or simple short words based on the user’s background like – native language, language used at work/school, field of study/work, etc.
Based on the computer’s output, it would be easier for the learner to generate his ‘own’ mnemonic. The use of ‘own’ is further vitalized by the fact that mnemonics generated by one person, may be not so appealing or sometimes totally irrelevant for some other person as shown by many studies. Hence the aim is to direct the machine to be a facilitator and not the creator of the mnemonic.
