I've been using visual memory techniques for a while now. One of the first exercises it recommends is to memorize magazine pages, and to try and visually memorize information. The easiest technique it to use the Loci technique, its pretty much linking whatever information you want to a random object on a familiar walk or room i.e. your room. The n back test is quite good for visualizing all the images at once. I started with DR Bruno Furst's memory course Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:05:30 +0000 http://cognitivefun.net/talk/post/36709#r_37101 I'd like to improve my ability to visualize mental images clearly. I find its easier to do with objects around the house (which I've seen before) than something arbitrary (e.g., black square surrounded by a blue background) Are there effective exercises to train to be able to develop crystal clear images? I'm wondering if quad-n-back would help.
