ABSTRACT

Make visual pictures. ‘A picture is worth 1,000 words.’ We remember pictures and images much more than words. Thinking of somebody’s name in terms of a picture will help you remember it. Try to make the picture as vivid, bizarre and exaggerated as possible – put colour, humour and movement into the picture. Thinking of a picture activates the right hemisphere of the brain; just thinking of a word uses mainly your left brain.
