The brain is good at remembering things that we can see more than
things we touch or hear. In this memory technique, imagine your
home. You can do that pretty easily, right? Now imagine yourself
walking along a path like from the front door to your bedroom. As
you move along the path, imagine an important fact sitting in each
room you pass. Assign a silly image to each fact.
If you were trying to memorize the order of the first presidents, you
could imagine George Washington opening the door for you, John
Adams pouring a bowl of cereal in your kitchen, Thomas Jefferson
watching TV in the living room, and so on. This technique may
sound silly but it has been used as far back as Ancient Greece. It
really can help!
Your brain has two hemispheres. The left side is used for analytical thinking,
like calculating numbers, and the right side is used for creative thinking, like
writing a story. Do you think you are more “right brained” or “left brained”? It
might not matter. Scientists have found that brain activity is the same on both
sides of the brain regardless of your personality type!
RIGHT SIDE!
LEFT SIDE!
