The brain processes, stores and recalls learning and experience in the form of different visual imagery, sounds and feelings. Images can be large, small, bright, dim, colour, black and white.Sounds can be loud, quite, have a rhythm or be random. Feelings can be hot, cold, hard, soft, fast, and slow.

The ways of describing how the brain processes and recalls are of course far more than we have set out here and this multitude of possible descriptions is a powerful pointer to the best way for you to experience learning and for your brain to learn.

For many people who want to learn something the method they will use will be to read and re read a script until such time as they can “remember” it. Obviously this is making use of just one method available to the brain for learning and most people, including children, will recall only a small portion of what they have read in this way.

Is there a better way? Yes there is!

The multiple ways the brain stores information points to the best way of learning as involving many different images, sounds and feelings and this is supported by many researchers and commentators.

To quote Eric Jensen “the brain seems to thrive immensely by pursuing multi-path , multimodal experiences”.

To aid and increase the rate of learning you can use methods that use imagery and pictures of all sorts, locations, words, sounds and feelings. Methods that use these factors directly respond to the need for the multi-path methods required for learning. Memory Mapping is a method of learning that uses all these factors.

Memory Maps are therefore brilliant for learning in just this way which is why we so strongly recommend them at The Learning Well. They are therefore great for learning just about anything and achieve outstanding results for you and your children.

So, how can you and your children best learn?

Have a look at other areas of this Blog and our reports and detailed explanations of Memory Mapping. Why not give it a go and improve your abilities and very importantly those of your children!
