I guess you've read the NYT article regarding the experiment done at Purdue University last year? If not, it's quite an interesting read especially in regard to doing visualisations when learning. It would seem as it is a good thing to do if you're doing it from memory (to make sense of things) but not if you're copying from a textbook to make it EASIER to learn. The latter doesn't work according to the study since the brain just thinks "hey that's easy! now I don't even have to remember it!" Any your thoughts on the article? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/science/21memory.html?_r=4 Hi there Scott!

Just thought I would share with you and the rest of your readers that one of the tools that helped me is creately.com when it comes to drawings diagrams. Not only have I used it to facilitate my learning but also to sell my ideas to clients. Loved the article! :-) Really cool post, Scott.

Just ask yourself questions such as, "what does this remind me of?", "how would I explain this to a 10-year old?" etc. These triggering questions can usually help you come up with something. It doesn't need to be perfect, just a connection. -Scott Deepak,
