You can recall information in two ways: as words (verbal memory) or as visuals (visual memory). They are distinct mental processes that produce profoundly different outcomes. People seldom believe how extreme the difference is, so here's a challenge for you to prove it for yourself. First, let us assess your verbal memory. I'll give you a list of ten words and see how many you can recall. Here we go: Piano Elephant Truck Bottle Basketball Chair Pineapple Dog Painting Trampoline Okay, pause the video and write down as many words as you can remember. How did it go? If you are like the average individual, you were able to recollect roughly five to seven words, not necessarily in the exact order. So that was your verbal memory; now let us test your visual memory.

I'll offer you another list of words. To activate your visual memory, . Here we go. Ferrari - Imagine driving a bright red Ferrari with the top down. The music is playing above the engine's throaty rumble, and your hair is blowing in the breeze. Chicken – A large chicken lands on the seat next to you with a loud 'thump'. It's the size of a human, massive, and yellow. It must have fallen from the sky That was your verbal memory; now we'll test your visual memory. I'll give you another bunch of words, . Imagine driving a bright red Ferrari with the top down. The music is playing over the engine's throaty growl, and your hair is blowing in the wind. A giant chicken lands on the seat next to you, making a loud 'thump'. It's human-sized, huge, and yellow. It must have fallen from the watermelon.

The chicken opens the car door and leaps! Out on the road. As it remains there, a giant green watermelon rolls over it and continues down the road. Barack Obama - You watch the watermelon roll down the road, right into Barack Obama. The watermelon splits in half, leaving Obama standing there, soaking with watermelon juice. Poodle - Obama picks up a passing poodle and wipes juice from his face. The poodle is completely white, but as it soaks up watermelon juice, it gradually turns vibrant pink. Flagpole - Obama throws the poodle, which flies through the air and lands on top of a towering flagpole. The weight of the juicy poodle leads the flagpole to gradually topple over. Cake: With a loud and untidy ‘splat’ the flagpole crashes into the midst of a big birthday cake. Icing, cream, and candles fly everywhere, raining down on anyone going by. A huge dollop of cream falls on the head of an obese Barbie doll.

It causes an unusual chemical reaction, and the doll launches into the sky like a space rocket, her blonde hair trailing after her. Pizza - The doll launches higher, then as she begins to fall, a giant pizza erupts above her head like a parachute. Long strings of melted cheese are used to bind the pizza to the doll. Giraffe - The pizza eventually falls to the ground, burying the doll, and a giraffe wanders over and begins eating the pie, stretching its long neck and It extends its tongue to lap up the delectable cheese. Skateboard - After eating too much pizza, the giraffe takes out a skateboard, climbs on it, and begins gliding down the street, dodging signs and street lights. Cigarette - The skateboard coughs and stops, using one of its wheels to light a cigarette. The cigarette catches fire and the skateboard throws it away.

The flaming cigarette travels through the air, landing on the torch held aloft by the Statue of Liberty. Even the torch catches fire. Ice cream - The Statue of Liberty comes to life, thrusting the glowing torch deep into a large bucket of ice cream. This is cherry chocolate ice cream melts and begins to boil ominously. Fireworks - The ice cream explodes, illuminating the sky above the Statue of Liberty with colorful fireworks spelling out the words 'The End'. write down how many terms you can recollect from your visual memory. Leave a comment below and tell me how your verbal memory compared to your visual memory. Visual memory techniques have existed for thousands of years, yet for some inexplicable reason, most people only know about verbal memory techniques. Verbal approaches include acronyms and acrostics, word associations and rhymes, and even songs, all of which need a significant amount of tedious repetition. They can be wonderful for a small amount of words, but they do not tap into your visual memory's incredible ability.
