3. Visualisationand association

Visualization and association are potent memory tools, enabling learners to link abstract information to vivid imagery or concepts. By conjuring mental images, one can anchor data within the mind's eye, making it more retrievable. For instance, to remember a concept like "photosynthesis," one might visualize a plant 'taking a photo' under sunlight. In practicing this technique, students could pair academic content with relevant visuals: a historical event with a key image, a complex term with a symbolic icon. Over time, these visual cues become synonymous with the subject matter, enhancing recall and deepening comprehension, turning the abstract tangible.
