Literary notes about mnemonic (AI summary)

The term “mnemonic” is employed with diverse connotations in literature, reflecting both technical and speculative nuances. In Hans Gross’s work, the concept is linked to memory techniques and their pitfalls—specifically highlighting how false mnemonic practices can lead to misunderstandings in legal or psychological examinations [1], [2]. Gross further distinguishes related terms like mnemotechnique and anamnestic, suggesting a broader framework for engaging with memory processes [3]. In contrast, Jesse F. Bone uses mnemonic concepts in a narrative sense, particularly through the idea of mnemonic erasure as a method of memory manipulation that can erase details about past associations or even obscure the origins of beings like the Lani [4], [5].
