When trying to remember a list of words, a person may choose a word to which they "hang" their memories on. This type of mnemonic device is called the _____ technique.
This is known as the "peg technique." The name comes from the fact that we usually employ pegs to hang clothes to dry. In this memory aid, the person who wants to memorize something creates mental associations between two concrete objects. This is done in a one-to-one fashion that links all the words together.
