There are two distinct operations in this method. First the Imagination takes the two objects and determines how they shall be arranged; what they shall do; or how they are to look in the picture. Second, the mind's eye photographs the picture so arranged by the imagination. The impression is made upon the brain when the picture is photographed. You may decide upon a good combination of the objects, but if you do not SEE the picture you will not remember. The impression is made upon the brain when the mind's eye actually sees the picture which your Imagination has constructed. Just as the photographer first arranges his group in the manner that he thinks will make the best effect, then presses the bulb and exposes the plate. If he only arranged the group and did not expose the plate he would have no picture, and so, if you imagine the picture and do not SEE it, you will have poor memory. Add to Your List In the same way form pictures of the following objects. Use your own imagination to bring the objects together into motion pictures. In adding to your list, always begin with the last object and revisualize it with the new object. Thus you will link all together in an endless chain. Make memory pictures of the following: Dishes and Wagon Pile the dishes high upon the wagon and see them rattle off and break as the wagon moves. Be a cartoonist, make unusual pictures. Wagon and Table Make your own picture, and fix your attention upon it for a moment by seeing the details. What kind of a wagon is it? What color? How drawn? Table and Carpet See the color and pattern in the carpet. Carpet and Fence Fence and Bread It will be easier for some to make the Memory Pictures into a story, that is to see the Dishes thrown at the Wagon and fall off onto the Table where they are put into a Carpet and hung up on a Fence, which has a loaf of Bread on the top of a high picket. This story can continue indefinitely, as long as your imagination adds to it. There is a danger, however, in this kind of a picture; it is in the tendency to see more than two objects in each picture. The idea may be continuous, the picture must never be. It may be a continuous idea connecting separate and distinct pictures but you must be sure to drop the first object before you add the new one, so that there are but two objects in each. Continue picturing these words in pairs as you did before, using the story idea if it seems easier. =Bread and Walk.= =Walk and Lamp.= =Lamp and School.= =School and Stove.= =Stove and Piano.= Now, go back to Dishes and review the pictures, naming both objects in each picture. Can you see each clearly? If not, strengthen the picture, put in more motion, or make it more unusual.
