Cognitive theory is concerned with understanding how human mental processes work. Cognitive theory attempts to analyze how individuals retrieve, process, and receive information from memory (Wang, 2003). According to Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968), when information is received by humans it has to pass through various steps until it is stored indefinitely in memory. This is called information processing (Driscoll, 2000). This study contributes to the advancement of information processing by introducing two learning strategies practiced in a gaming environment--namely, acronym mnemonics and acronym mnemonics with paraphrasing--to assist with the achievement of different educational objectives.
