This might sound silly, but I've always believed that the best way to remember information is to come up with the SILLIEST and DUMBEST connections. Whether that's creating a ridiclous acronym or other mnemonic devices (e.g., "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" was used to help remember the names of planets in our solar system when I was a kid--back when Pluto was still a planet)--making something funny can make it more memorable.
So with that said, here is a sample of memes I made for an Infancy course to help the topics live in my students' heads rent-free!
