Mental images provide lasting memory.
We remember things as images.
When
recalling a person, a place, or a pet, our memory stores a mental image.
So "Justin" is recalled as a cute white dog.
In fact, when we read, each written word produces a mental image.
Try each of these:
Elvis
Flower
Sunset
Effective learning requires good imagery for recall, but if you aren't
given a proper image, your mind fabricates one (perhaps incorrectly).
Is this Sick Sinus Syndrome? [ See page 167]
When we think of a person's name, a type of car, or a food, we don't visualize
the spelling... no, our minds display a mental image. Try these to see
what your memory displays.
John
Convertible
Dessert
Proper illustrations not only give meaning to written material, but also provide an indelible memory image. Illustrations are from the new full-color 6th edition.

You
may have noticed that the illustrations from the book use real EKG tracings,
so the reader is not confused by vague artist's simulations that make
you guess how the real EKG looks.

By just observing these illustrations, you now have a reasonable grasp

understanding empowers you with a lifetime of practical knowledge (easily
recalled with the virtual images in your mind!).
OK, image-based memory has longevity, but just how can Rapid Interpretation
of EKG's be so easy to follow and yet maximize comprehension?
