Sensory Specific Memory Skills
Following are suggestions to assist individuals in using multiple sensory abilities to improve their memory:
- Have the individual learn tasks/information in multiple sensory modalities (e.g., have them simultaneously see the material, hear the instructions, and perform the task).
- Provide information in both verbal and visual modalities (e.g., provide a visual map, written directions, and verbal instructions for travel).
- Review written notes while reading them out load (or listening to them).
