Part 2 - Names of CARP Principles
CARP is an example of a first-letter mnemonic, meaning that each letter of CARP is the first letter of a word. A mnemonic helps you memorize content through encoding. Another common example is PEMDAS to help you remember the order of operations when solving math problems: (Perentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.) The CARP acronym stands for:  C  = Contrast  A  = Alignment  R  = Repetition  P  = Proximity

Reciting verbally is the most effective repetition strategy for memorization. The repetition will help you retain this information in your long-term memory.
