11 Steps to Enhance Memory and Recall

1. Establish rapport and ecology for working together. Calebrate Explorer for visual memory access processing.

2. Explain and demonstrate Explorer's current external dominant eye. Forcus on an image across the room, point on the image, close one eye- if picture stays the same, then the open eye is your dominant eye. If the image shifts away , the other eye is your dominant eye. This step shows that there is a difference in eye dominance and will assist in determining the internal dominant eye for Hemispheric Memory Strategy.

3. Have Explorer choose a word (noun) that is easy to spell and that they already know. We will use the example "cat." The step is to learn the process and to create success.

4. Have the Explorer get a visual image of a cat using their left internal eye, and put this image in their visual recall field. Usually located up and to the Explorer's left with visual accessing.

5. Say to Explorer, "Now allow that visual representation of a cat to remain here (Gesture to hold the image in the visual recall field) as you shift to your right internal eye, and in a way that works for you, build in the letters 'c-a-t.' Now you are seeing the word 'cat' along with the picture of what a cat looks like."

6. Next, have the Explorer choose a word they would like to be able to spell.

7. Build a visual representation of what the word means, focusing through the left eye. Build the letters for the word focusing through the right eye. (Remember to chunk the word into small enough pieces, if needed).

8. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 using an image of a person with their telephone number in the image.

9. Test the Explorer's memory of the easy word; the word they chose; and the person with their telephone number.

10. Discuss with the Exploredr when and where this process will be useful in their life to remember important facts, names and information.

11. Practice, practice, practice! :)
