Did you know that visualization can improve learning capacity, enhance memory and ignite creativity? In fact, research now shows that mental imagery can improve academics in the areas of reading, writing, math, history and science.
What is Visualization?
Visualization
is the ability to create mental images within ones head. This picture allows an individual to
“see” ideas, past experiences, or even future projections. Every
individual lies on a continuum from having no visualization capacity, or a “blind minds eye,” to having an excellent capacity to imagine and
experience vivid pictures and even conjure movie-like imagery in ones mind’s
eye.
