picture game

There are a lot of organizational strategies that help people to hold information in their brains.

First of all, let's play a picture game. Watch this video clip and without writing down anything, try to remember as many pictures as you can.



Now that you have seen all of the pictures, write down the list of the pictures that you remember. Now look at your list. Do you notice anything about the pictures you remembered?

Let's take a look at your list.

Did you use chunking? This means that you would group the pictures in a meaningful way. This means that you might have put the pictures into the categories of animals, sports, animals, and movies.

Did you use visual imagery? This means that you made pictures in your mind to help you remember all of the pictures.

Maybe you remembered the pictures that needed your full attention because of the bright colors, large shapes, or emotions.

Notice how you remember things. Recognizing how you memorize lists will help you in school, too!
