Description of the Peg Word Trainer
| This program can be used to learn the words of various mnemonic systems by heart.
Enter the peg word that goes with the contents of the Position Field. This could be a
number, letter, or month, depending on your setting. After entering the peg word, press
the 'Check' button to check your answer. If you made a mistake, the program will display
the correct word in the Feedback field. The program displays your total score, where 100%
means that you have answered all number-peg trials correct at least once. It is
recommended that you 'overtrain' until about 300% or higher. The program will present
incorrectly answered numbers again, before it will repeat the correctly answered ones. For
large peg systems, the standard setting will only use the portion of the peg words. By
checking 'Include peg words up to number ...' you can learn all the words. If you press
'Reset Score', all your training scores on the particular peg system will be erased.
Hints or memory aids
If you give a wrong answer, the program will display a hint to help you remember. It is
also possible to peek at the hints before answering (press 'Show All Hints'). It is likely
that you can think of hints that work better for you. Simply, enter your personal
hints in the second hint field and press 'Save My Hint'. You can do this at any time.
Thus, if you are training a number peg 1-bun, you might enter as a hint "Think of a
French baquette". Saved personal hints will persist for one year, unless your browser
does not allow cookies, in which case you will loose your hints after you leave this page. |
