44. 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. 44
