How to Memorize Serotonin's Definition and Meaning with a Mnemonic

I want you to imagine that you’re sad, depressed, and moping around all day in your home because you can’t go outside and play with your friends. All of a sudden, you see a hand reach out to you with a huge bowl of cereal. You look up as you wipe away your tears and see Tony the Tiger standing with his hand out holding the bowl of Frosted Flakes and he has a huge smile on his face. You immediately grab the bowl of cereal and give Tony a huge hug for making you feel happy.

In order to help you quickly memorize and learn what serotonin is and what it does to you, you have to turn the medical term meaning and definition into a mnemonic story. You want to add as many senses as you can and make the image come to life.

In the story above, we used a few associations to help us remember what the neurotransmitter, serotonin is. Did you catch them?

Here they are:

Serotonin = Cereal + Tony (we used Tony the Tiger and Frosted Flakes Cereal.

In order to help us remember that portion of the medical association, we visualized Tony having a big smile and making you happy as you give him a huge hug.

You can add more visual triggers if you wanted to but in essence, you have your main characters and objects there to play with.

I like to tell my students to imagine themselves as a director to a huge cinematic motion picture and that they have an infinite budget to make the stories as wild, vivid, and dynamic as they want. Add as many characters, action sequences, emotional triggers, add whatever you feel is necessary to bring this story to life and help you memorize quickly, what you want to remember.
