Keep yourself active and interested, especially when you think the material itself is boring. To learn information that is important to you, be physical while you learn it. Visualize relationships . Create pictures about things you want to learn. Use mental visualizations to connect a series of facts.
Visual information is associated with a different part of the brain than verbal information.
When you make up a picture to go with a concept or a fact, you are anchoring the information ill two separate parts of the brain, thus doubling your chances of being able to recall it. Bizarre or unusual images help some people remember. Others find them hard to conjure up. Experiment for yourself. See what kind of images work for you.
