Use Visuals Effectively What is the purpose of images? What is the part you connect with the most?

Power of Images The brain automatically and effortlessly commits the graphic image to memory. There are countless studies that have confirmed the power of visual imagery in learning. For instance, one study asked students to remember many groups of three words each, such as dog, bike, and street. Students who tried to remember the words by repeating them over and over again did poorly on recall. In comparison, students who made the effort to make visual associations with the three words, such as imagining a dog riding a bike down the street, had significantly better recall.
