Category-Based Mnemonic Systems
1-minute read • Memory Techniques Wiki
This page is for creating ideas for Mnemonic Images that are based on categories. Some mnemonic systems use categories to develop the images. An example would be a system where all the numbers from 50 to 59 would be animals, and the numbers 60 to 69 would be actors.
Let’s try to come up with at least 100 categories — enough to build a 10,000 image system.
Actors
Animals
- List of animals
- List of animal names
- Example lists by country: Brazilian mammals, North American mammals
- List of dinosaur genera
- Insect orders and class insecta
- Insects of Great Britain and categories
Art

Philosophy
Plants
If you know botany, you could organize them by plant families or by region/climate
Sports
- List of sports
- List of major league baseball players
- List of association football players
- List of American football players
- Tennis
- Cricket
- Ping Pong

- Etc.
