More on personal meaning and vocabulary
Personal meaning helps you integrate a relation of a word to help you remember it better. If you can relate to a word and have your mind think of a specific object or another word for its meaning, then you will find yourself remembering the word more easily than just trying to memorize meanings.
The designers created this principle in their software by evaluating the relationship between names and acquaintances. It’s normal for many people to have difficulties remembering words and names. However, it was found that people tend to remember certain names if they relate to something important in their lives or if it relates to another person, particularly a relative, who is special to them.
The same can be said about words. If words are used and learned by relating them to specific ideas and experiences then they will be easier for you to learn their meaning and remember them later. It also involves using those words through iteration and remembering their meanings through relation. The more you say a word, the more you will relate its meaning to important ideas. It will become second nature to you, and the difficulty remembering will disappear.
