Why You Should Imagine What You Read

For sure when you read a book you see in your mind different images and even short movies. You can observe it while reading a story with a lively description like one from a criminal or history book. At the same time it is harder when you read scientific or technical materials. Take a look at both examples and see which images show up in your mind.

First example: Mark is rather lazy. He comes from school and uses all his force to throw his bag next to the table. Then he makes himself comfortable on the couch. You can imagine him screaming "What is for dinner?" While he chooses a favourite CD. Right after that he puts the music as loud as possible and starts to go through music magazines.

The above sentences should be enough to produce few images in your mind so think about them now. What have you seen in your mind? Images relevant to content or something completely different? Have you seen boy going inside the his room and objects with which he was interacting? Clear your mind and read next paragraph.

Taking a look at this we conclude that co-relation in a certain electrical tracks could be counted from mentioned before equation and it can arrive at 12 points. It also shows us relativity of line to angle in Cooper system.

Above text is effect of my imagination and it has nothing to do with science, but tell me - was the amount of images showing up in your mind the same as when reading first example? I bet your answer is no!

It is enough that you read a book with live description of action and it is few times easier to remember. The only thing you need to do is make sure that your imaginations sticks to the subject. If your thoughts will bring you away you may loose concentration. Keep creating images that are related to what you read and later it will be much easier to recall.

Even if your eyes go line after line, your mind see different things so track what you read and make sure that in the same time your brain is producing best possible images to remember it. Keeping your eyes and vision of your mind working together will improve your comprehension.
