In order to recall a list of objects or a series of any kind, instead of making separate pictures of the objects, combine two in each impression. If you will follow the method used in making the following Memory Pictures you will find that it will enable you to recall the objects at will. We will use a list of objects that have no natural associations, that you could not easily remember by any other method, yet when you use this visual process the matter is a simple one. First Picture Association The first word of the list will be the House, the second Clock. We have already made a strong visual impression of the House, by seeing it in an Exaggerated, Moving, Unusual picture. We could make as strong an impression of the Clock in the same way, but to be able to recall the word following House, we must see the two objects together in the same picture. To see a large Clock standing alongside of the House, will make a strong impression. A stronger one may be made by exaggerating the size and proportion of the two objects. To further strengthen it you can use unusual motion, such as balancing a huge Clock on the edge of the House. Now introduce motion, see the Clock topple and roll down the roof and fall to the ground. To get the full value of this impression upon your brain, close your book and see the picture in your mind's eye. If it does not seem distinct close your eyes, or take a pencil and try to draw the picture. This will help you to see it more clearly. See the Clock rolling down the roof, see it fall to the ground, make it seem real and as distinct as possible. Add Flowers to the List To do this make a large moving picture of Clock and Flowers. See the Clock decorated with flowers and large bunches tied to the end of each of the hands. See them going around. Add the colors, make all the detail bright, and become interested in the picture. Fix your attention on it as you have learned to do in the first book. Note the changes. [Illustration] In each of these pictures there are two objects, never more and never less. Do not see the House in this second picture. Always drop the first object when adding a new one. =Memory Pictures Should Always Contain Two Objects.= Flowers and Circus Continue the list by adding the word Circus. Picture the new word with the last one which was Flowers. Let your imagination see the Flowers playing in the circus tent, see them riding the horses, or have the performers all dressed in flowers; any picture clearly visualized and concentrated upon for a moment will produce the desired result. =The length of time that an impression will last, depends first, upon the vividness of your picture.= Circus and Soldier Add this new word by exaggerated motion picture of the Circus and the Soldier. Make your own picture, see that it is definite and let the mind dwell upon it for a moment. Soldier and Church
