ABSTRACT

There are people who claim that they are not able to visualise. There are also those who ‘see’ pictures in their heads and those who ‘think’ pictures rather than actually see them. For some learners, listening to someone talking for any length of time and not losing concentration is practically impossible. When a stream of words starts coming in through their ears, they switch off almost immediately and start daydreaming. Pictures, whether real or imagined, can play a vital role in learning. Many of the reader remember pictures much better than words, particularly spoken words. When it comes to learning and remembering information, the ability to transform words into pictures in the head can be a saving grace for many learners.
