If you are used to store new information, drawing a strange association, then do not listen to others. the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology study proved that the doodle - is one of the best ways to remember the new one.
Anyone can call my drawing scribbles. And not because I am aware that this is a good way to remember the information, but simply due to the fact that I can not draw.
When I was still in high school, we had drawing lessons. To them I did not do anything, and homework is done mum. Computerization has brought changes to the school curriculum, and many schools are drawing lessons canceled. I would say that it was good, but not so simple.
book author Drawing Is ThinkingMilton Glaser believes that when you draw an object, the brain becomes very attentive to it. As a result, he manages to better remember the information and see details that would otherwise go unnoticed.
And drawing pen or pencil on paper is not the same, what to draw on the computer. according to ExplorationConducted in 2009, those who draw doodles on paper, drawn reproduce the information on the 29% better than those who are trying to remember it in other ways. And this is another reason why there are so many supporters
breynstormy. Despite the fact that many believe the technique contradictory, Some of its aspects, such as sketches and structuring information can help in the thought process.Another reason to associate information with pictures is that there are no "professional karakulschikov". So, no matter how well you draw - the effect of the process will still be. Just consider and Sunny Brown, author of the book The Doodle Revolution:
Sunny BrownUse doodles and sketches as a tool to look at the situation from the other side.
Brown herself beginning to memorize information through drawing since childhood, drawing in his notebook. Understanding that it is an effective way, it came later, when she was working in a consulting company The Grove. In 2008, she launched a creative agency and introduced the term doodling (Doodle, sketches) in order to define this method of memorizing information.
The problem sketches also in the fact that the older we get, the less we get pleasure from the process. Illustrator Jon Hendricks also uses this method in his work. However, its main idea is to give you the best of what you're drawing. Not paying attention to the quality of the picture and its usefulness.
