This technique depends on visualizing a journey in which objects to be recalled are placed in familiar locations. For example, suppose you had to remember such unrelated items as a tuba, ice skate, pen, walrus, coffee cup and airplane. You can visualize a walk through the rooms of your house in which each item is placed in a different room. This technique is useful for memorizing bones or muscles of the body or other lists of related terms. Write a list of 15 objects.
Exchange lists with a partner.
Allow a few minutes to create memory maps of your partner's list based on a familiar location or path. Then remove the lists and proceed on your visual journey, writing down all the objects you can recall from your partner's list. For example, memorizing a sequence of seemingly random digits is easy when that number series is your birth date or street address. Developing associations is also a helpful way to remember new information. Exchange numbers with a partner and memorize, using associations.
