Why do some people easily remember, for example, faces, while others do not? It turns out that the whole thing is in the visual memory. Someone can easily remember and even "reproduce" in memory what he has seen, and it will be difficult for another person to do it. The first one can be envied, but the latter should learn how to train visual memory.
How to develop visual memory?
Tasks and exercises for the development of visual memory should be simple in execution and fast in execution time. You can use the following method:
- take a box of matches;
- open it and throw a few matches on the table;
- look at them for about a second;
- then take a piece of paper and close the matches;
- now try to mentally reproduce the picture, try to "sketch" it in your memory.
At the very beginning of your training, the mental picture will be fuzzy. Try reducing the number of matches. In the future, gradually increase the amount. With each time, you will all be better able to reproduce the picture, marvel at how much your visual memory will become more effective.
There is another simple exercise that can be done anywhere and anytime. Remember:
- select an item for yourself. It can be a picture, a magazine cover, a vase with flowers;
- look at the subject, remember it;
- close your eyes and try to "reproduce" what you saw;
- open your eyes and look at the subject;
- compare it with what you have been able to draw in your "head". Your task is to maximally reflect the seen object in your thoughts, memory, and imagination.
Now you know how to improve visual memory.
