I plan to check these before going much further with this page:
 * Mnemonics
 * Memory Improvement Tools
 * & Wikiversity on learning techniques?

Word Association

 * Word Association, keyword technique?

Peg lists
google "Mega memory"

Peg lists are good for anything in a sequence (e.g. for lyrics, lines in a play, each peg can remind you of a key idea) or
 * any list of things (shopping list)
 * anything to do with numbers (e.g. learning to count in another language... though you wouldn't develop a peg list just for this)
 * remembering the key points of a book, article or lecture, without taking notes. (You can then more easily recall and digest the information... but it's wise to write down anything you need to soon after the lecture.)
 * remembering questions you plan to ask (or look up) at the end of a lecture. (You may want a second peg list for this, if you're already using one for remembering the lecture.)

Shape list
This doesn't use rhyming, so the one system works regardless of language - useful if teaching non-English speakers.

The Number/Shape System offers one image scheme:

1 - Candle, spear, stick 2 - Swan (beak, curved neck, body) 3 - (rotate shape though 90 degrees!) 4 - Sail of a yacht 5 - A meat hook, a sea-horse facing right 6 - A golf club 7 - A cliff edge 8 - An egg timer 9 - A balloon with a string attached, flying freely 0 - A hole
