This is because they are quite clever, or at least suspicious. Grey horses are very reluctant to walk through water, as they cannot tell how deep the water is from the surface. In the field of \"learning,\" this term came about because this aid helps one to remember things that are noteworthy. In my search for suitable and cool learning methods, I first collected many of these mnemonics (see also \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mindstation.de\/themen\/gedaechtnistraining\/eselsbruecken\/\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e), but then it seemed wiser to become independent of finding existing mnemonics. By using mnemonic techniques, we create our own mnemonics.

Birkenbihl, is an acronym and stands for: \u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003ereative \u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003eusbeute von \u003cstrong\u003eW\u003c\/strong\u003eort-\u003cstrong\u003eA\u003c\/strong\u003essoziationen (Creative Exploitation of Word Associations). But KAWA is easier to remember. KAWAs can be made on all topics that interest you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow about your own KAWA and why does this technique work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, write the topic in large letters in the middle. By the way, I always use the sheet horizontally for this and draw the letters so that they can be colored later. In our \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/mindmaps-shop.de\/produkte\/unterrichtsmaterial\/der-mindmap-vorlagen-ringblock\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMindmap template ring binder\u003c\/a\u003e, KAWAs are drawn on the white left page. Now let your thoughts wander and consider what comes to mind about the term and what would be important enough to be written down. The rule of the game is: what is written down must begin with one of the letters in the middle. The smaller the term, the fewer letters you have available, and the more you have to think. The lack of letters ensures that you have to think more intensively about a topic. By the way, it is not mandatory to use every letter. And: there is no right or wrong with KAWA. An example: Suppose you want to create a KAWA about your best friend \u003cstrong\u003eEva\u003c\/strong\u003e, then you only have the three letters available. However, you can use them multiple times. Perhaps \u003cem\u003eE stands for elegant, successful, eloquent\u003c\/em\u003e, for \u003cem\u003eV you find her trustworthy, crazy and in love\u003c\/em\u003e, and for \u003cem\u003eA you have associated silly and single\u003c\/em\u003e. If your best friend had been named Hannelore, you would, of course, have had more letters available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKAWA becomes KAGA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also clothe the whole thing in many pictures, your \u003cstrong\u003eKAWA becomes a KAGA\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the G then stands for Graphic Design. I myself often write in KAWA form in meetings. This keeps me alert, no matter how unimportant or boring a meeting is. And I catch everything.
