How to Strengthen Your Visual Memory

Strengthening your visual perception is a key to enhancing your visual memory. This pertains to skills you need to practice, understand, and analyze to be the next photographic memory champion.

The first thing is improving your ability to discriminate visually. This is popular on some entertainment sections of newspapers where there will be two illustrations side by side and you are challenged to spot the difference.

Good visual discrimination skills allows you to prevent confusion, especially in reading words with the same letters arranged differently, like "desserts" and "stressed".

To further enhanced visual memory and avoid confusion, hone your figure ground memory abilities. This is a skill you do when you remember a certain image amidst a background. This is especially helpful and most applicable since everywhere you go, you will be presented with loads of visual cues and you have to pick out those that you really want to commit to memory. Playing games like hidden images, like the classic "Where's Waldo" is an example of a brain exercise that works perfectly.

Another effective way to strengthen visual memory is through practicing your visual form constancy, which allows you to quickly process images in different perspectives. Some children have problems with this visual skill manifested by writing numbers on a mirrored form. Taking the time to develop your visual form constancy abilities will give you the ability to rotate images mentally to see how they look like without actually seeing the whole picture, giving you a quicker mental time to process them visually.

Strengthen visual memory and boost your brain performance like you've never seen before! Be your own super computer now.
