Research shows that visual cues help us to better\u00a0store and recall information.<\/h4>\n
Our brain processes images more effectively than words.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Try this<\/strong><\/span>-write down 5 words on 5 flash cards. Then write down 5 words with pictures on 5 flash cards. \u00a0Ask some friends to look briefly at each of the first set of flash cards and then 2 minutes later tell you what was on them. The number they remember correctly is their recall score. Repeat this exercise with the flashcards that have words and pictures. Which 5 flash cards was their recall score higher? \u00a0The\u00a0findings on visual learning make complete sense when you consider that the part of our\u00a0brain<\/a>\u00a0dedicated to visual processing vs. word processing is much larger! More of our sensory cortex is devoted to vision.<\/div>\n
