- Your brain remembers images, locations, and stories far better than abstract data.
- Pairing words with vivid imagery activates multiple brain areas and strengthens recall.
Why Rote Memorization Fails
- Repetition and rote learning are weak because they lack meaning and connection.
- The industrial-era education system emphasized memorization for workers, not creative long-term retention.
Turn Facts Into Vivid Pictures
- Turn names and facts into vivid, exaggerated mental pictures to make them unforgettable.
- Use silly, emotional, or unusual images (e.g., a hippo on campus) to anchor concepts quickly.
