Did you learn more from actually doing physical activities, Jess? Then there's no need to visualise as you are actually doing it?

Yeah, I am definitely more of a hands on learner, I need to be doing things and engaging myself if I want to retain information more efficiently.

You can remember things without having physically seen them though. If you learn a new word from someone during a conversation then you haven't seen it written down but you can still remember it. The memory is not affected by this. That's a different part of the brain. I can still remember things, I just can't visualise them. If I got robbed by a scary looking person then I wouldn't be able to describe them to a sketch artist but I could identify them in a line of possible suspects.

Also, how do blind people remember things? Some of them have never seen their own front door in their lives. The brain is capable of more than you think

We used to do a presentation to ad agencies about the "Theatre of the Mind" and how music works as a brilliant memory aid

We would play

"I see a little silhouetto of a man"


and then stop the music, pic an exec and say "next" and they would say "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?" point to another and they would say "Thunderbolt and lightning,Very, very frightening me."

I find it amazing that of say Wuthering Heights comes on the radio i can remember the words and all the melody without much effort

Gosh that's weird, I play out a lot of scenarios in my mind, I can't imagine not being able to do that

That's just parroting learned text though isn't it? You can learn the words to a song very easily, but can you imagine the video that accompanies the song?

yes, just like one smell can transport you back to a very specific place and date in your childhood

But that's the whole point, if you don't have a memory of that time how do you feel? Just inexplicably scared or happy?

I mentioned this to my wife - a mental health professional - a couple of weeks ago... saying that I have a very clear inner voice, all the time, and sometimes it won't shut up no matter how much I want it to... she was like " err that sounds like schizophrenia?" then when she looked up inner monologue on Google and discovered that MOST people have one, she was utterly baffled .

Depends on the day for me. Sometimes I love my own company, sometimes I wind myself right up, paranoid annoying arsehole whining in my ear all day .

I literally spend hours in my head working out how I am going to launder £5,000,000 quid in cash that got thrown out a van in a police chase that I pulled over to avoid - no cctv as i was in the countryside and the cops and robbers did not see my reg.

SO i cant just put it in my bank and i have to keep it safe, dry, in a fireproof safe but where and i tell no one and i dont want anyone to notice i am doing anything unusual. Essentially i am going around the UK buying art and antiques and then reselling them at other auctions as well as continuing to work etc

madness

Sounds like more effort than it's worth LT
