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.
