Or say the name of each item out loud to help you remember them.Then,write down a list of the items you need to memorise for a test. In your mind,connect each of the items on your first list with one item on your second list. (4)
For instance,if you need to remember the names of three American presidents and the order in which they took office,assign the name of the first president to the first item you see when you enter the place,the second president to the second item you see,etc.After you've made your associations,picture yourself walking along the path again.Pause at each of the memorable items you listed earlier.
