Means that you can describe something by producing a picture just as well as by using a 1000 of words. “A picture is worth a thousand words<\/b>” is an English idiom, the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image or that an image of a subject conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a description does.<\/span><\/p>\n There is some research evidence that visual images are remembered differently than verbal material in the mind. For example, it is much quicker to read the word “shoe” off a page than it is to look at a picture of one and say the word “shoe.” Also, in many research tests, the mind has been shown to have a much larger memory for pictures than words. In other words, if you are shown 20 pictures and 20 words, you are much more likely to remember the pictures.<\/p>\n This fact is an important reason why many mnemonics rely on making mental visualizations. Since images are easier to recall, using a visualization of a word will help you remember it better. Additionally, visualizing a word will encode it into your visual memory as well as your verbal memory, which doubles your chances of keeping it in your brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The phrase ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ Means that you can describe something by producing a picture just as well as by using a 1000 of words. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is an English idiom, the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image or that an image of a subject conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a description does.
