Mnemonic devices have been considered by some psychologists to represent a form of “unnatural learning” (Jenkins, 1971, 1974; Neisser, 1976, pp. 141–142). In response to these objections, it will be argued here that the study of mnemonic devices is fundamental to our understanding of human learning and the operation of human memory. In fact, the notion of mental cues, so pervasive in the implementation of mnemonic techniques, plays an important role in the operation of memory schemas. The value of comparing mnemonic devices and memory schemas has been mentioned before (Battig & Bellezza, 1979; Bellezza, 1983a, 1986a) but has not been discussed in detail. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the similarities between these two knowledge structures and also to note some of their differences. In fact, instead of considering a mnemonic device as an unnatural and complicated form of learning, the proposal is made that a mnemonic device operates much like a memory schema. Many contemporary theories of memory consider memory schemas as important memory structures that automatically support natural learning. It is proposed here that mnemonic devices are simpler than memory schemas but seem complicated because the learner is very much aware of their operation.
