P.S. From a psychological perspective, this method leverages the “bizarreness effect,” a well-documented memory phenomenon where the brain encodes and recalls unusual, absurd or emotionally engaging information more effectively than mundane facts.
Why It Works:

1. Attention & Novelty - The absurdity (“I am a pot of jam”) triggers the hippocampus to prioritize the information as noteworthy.
2. Dual Coding - Pairing words with vivid mental images (e.g., a dancing clam) engages both verbal and visual memory systems.
3. Emotional Engagement - Humour and rhyme activate the amygdala, enhancing retention by linking emotion to learning. :)
