Exercise: verbalise linking concepts with emphasis/stress on key words.

This verbalisation can be either psychic (that is, using the internal dialogue) or vocal if involved in a discussion with a group. When moving from one concept to the next we find a way to express this as a sentence, and by emphasising key words in this sentence we highlight the concepts linked to by the sentence.

I use this sometimes when I want to remember a particular thought and I use the emphasised words as 'semantic tags' in my memory.
