A big part of learning is first remembering the information, i,e. Your memory. When dealing with a lot of terms or concepts it can get hard to remember not only the term or concept but what it is actually dealing with. A great strategy for improving memory skills is the Link System. The Link System is simply linking a word to an image or another word that looks or sounds like the word you need to remember. Doing this helps recall the word and possibly what it is about. I recently used this method in my PHI 107 course and the concept of Nature of Knowledge. The term Nature of Knowledge also sounds like the word College, which is ironically a "nature of knowledge" to some degree. I then just simply envisioned our own SU campus whenever i thought of the term Nature of Knowledge and it helped me remember the term easier.
The concept Nature of Knowledge are composed of the ideas Truth, Belief, Justification. Backwards, the initials of these ideas are JBT. A couple months back I was turning through the channels on TV and there was a music special on the artist John Butler Trio. When doing the Link System I immediately thought of the group when I saw the three ideas and linked them to the music group. Here's a picture of the group:
Your trick for remembering what TBJ is very creative and I can see how it is easy for you to remember the meaning.
