Acoustic Encoding:

Acoustic encoding is closely related to phonetic encoding as it also involves processing auditory stimuli for memory storage. However, acoustic encoding primarily focuses on remembering sound patterns rather than specific pronunciations.

Verbal Rehearsal: Verbal rehearsal is a technique where you repeat words or phrases out loud multiple times as a way to encode them into memory using phonetic cues.

Rhyme Technique: The rhyme technique is a mnemonic strategy that relies on finding rhyming words to remember information. It utilizes phonetic encoding by using sound similarities for retention.
