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 devices 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.

The LINCS Memory Chain Word Using the LINCS devices transforms a potentially weak link between a word and its definition into a chain of very strong links. Reminding Word Definition LINCing Story Image
