Preference of Learning style

Visual - hold any pictures up, just above eye level. Look at the picture close your eyes and imagine it in your mind. Repeat this until you get a good internal picture with all the information. Use your imagination to create the memory.

Auditory - As you memorise each piece of information say it in your mind or out loud 4 or 5 times. If you have difficulty picturing words, try 'seeing' an object and then with your imagination writing the words on it. If there is a lot of information imagine it like a video tape with the new information continually appearing.

Kinaesthetic - actually doing this method is helpful. If you feel the need to move you could roll a cush ball in your hand.

Note: Paul Daniels the magician was heard to say on a radio show that, “It is as important to practice recalling information as it is to memorise it.”

A powerful Memory Method for you to use

Choose a bite size chunk of information to work with.

Memorise - read the information, scan over the pictures. Decide what the key points are and then memorise using the method of your choice. Use as many senses as you can- this creates a stronger memory.

(5- 10 minutes)

Cover - shut the book or cover up the information you have been working with.

Recall - write out what you can remember (or get someone to test you). ( 5- 10 minutes)

Check & review - check what you have written. Note any parts that you got wrong and use your imagination to make a correct memory of these points.
