- Major System is among one the most popular mnemonic techniques for memorizing numbers. The method works by utilizing a simple concept: numbers are abstract and hard to remember; However, human brain is a lot more receptive and responsive to bouyant and vibrant imagery. Thus by converting numbers into meaningful text, it is easier for the brain to retain information.

One can master this technique by remembering how each digit is associated with a sound and from there, create their own set of images.
Ex.: 19 corresponds to tape and 90 correponsds to base. So instead of remembering 1990, we can come up with a fun way to fit "tape base" into our memory. The so-called memory athletes take a step further by memorizing a list of numbers from 00-99 with peg words so they can encode and decode numbers much faster.
