Assimilative Memory; or, How to Attend and Never Forget
Loisette, A. (Alphonse)
Mnemonics
The following list is worked out for practice _much more fully_ than a
medical student would do if he were learning the list in his studies.
The medical student would doubtless first objectively identify these
nerves in dissection, and then use correlations to help him remember
those which his natural memory could not carry. If not a medical
student, my pupil may omit this and the previous examples from Quain's
Anatomy.
THE TWELVE PAIRS OF CRANIAL NERVES.
CRANIAL NERVES ... within the skull ... wi{th}i{n} (12 pairs) ...
withdrawal ... draw oil ... oil factory ... OLFACTORY (1st pair) ...
manufactory ... smoke ... _smell_ ... scent-bottle ... glass ... optical
glass ... OPTIC (2nd pair) ... optician ... eyeglass ... _sight_ ...
eye-witness ... ocular demonstration ... OCCULO MOTOR (3rd pair) ocular
motions ... _move the eye many ways_ ... tear in the eye ... TROCHLEAR
or PATHETIC (4th pair) ... moving ... _move the eye obliquely_ ...
obtuse angle ... triangle ... TRIGEMINAL (5th pair) ... gem ...
sparkling ... _eye_ ... eyetooth ... _jaw_ ... talk ... _tongue_ ...
_taste_ ... good taste ... good feeling ... _feeling_ ... feelers ...
_motion_ ... ocean ... sailors ... absent from home ... ABDUCENT (6th
pair) ... sent out ... see out ... _moves the eye outwards_ ... face
outwards ... FACIAL (7th pair--motor to muscles of expression) ... face
... audience ... AUDITORY (8th pair, sensory for hearing and
equilibration) ... ear-ring ... shiny ... glossy ... GLOSSO-PHARYNGEAL
(9th pair, taste, swallow) ... congeal ... unfixed ... vague ... VAGUS
(10th pair, pneumogastric) ... gusty ... blown back ... backbone ...
SPINAL ACCESSORY (11th pair, moves head) _and motor_ ... spines ...
sharp criticism ... hypercritical ... HYPOGLOSSAL (12th pair) ...
glossary ... foreign tongue ... _Tongue Muscles_.
1. Between "perspiration" and "tea"?
2. Why so?
3. Explain the relation between "Belladonna" and "deadly
nightshade."
4. What advice is here given the medical student?
5. Are you required to learn the twelve pairs of cranial nerves if
you are not a medical student?
6. What do the words printed in italics indicate in this exercise?
7. Is it essential for the medical student to know these uses?
8. What word indicates the number of pairs of cranial nerves?
9. Through what consonant?
PROTOPLASM.
Albumen, gluten, fibrin, syntonin, are closely allied substances known
as proteids, and each is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen.
PROTEIDS ... Protector ... commonwealth ... for all ... _albumen_ ...
all men ... liars ... fibs ... _fibrin_ ... brindled ... spotted ... sin
... _syntonin_ ... toe nails ... hoofs ... glue ... _gluten_.
The foregoing exercises show that there are no facts of Science, &c., or
in Daily Life, with which the System cannot cope--thus proving the
greatest saver of Labour and Time if the pupil makes an application of
it to his studies or business when once he has mastered the system.
