22
Chain Analogy
Different pieces of knowledge are linked
together like a chain.
Many times, if you can remember the information
in one of the links in a chain, you will
remember information in many of the other links.
When you apply the LINCS Strategy to a word you
need to remember, you create a strong chain
between the word and its meaning.
The stronger the links between
pieces of information, the easier you
can remember them. The weaker the links, the
more difficulty you'll have remembering them.
23
The LINCS Memory Chain

Using the LINCS Strategy transforms a
potentially weak link between a word and its
definition into a chain of very strong links.
