Abstract

As scientists researched how to improve people's memory, they found that visuals stick in people's brains stronger than words do. Nevertheless, the question is how can we arrange the visual aids so the position of the visual aids is effective in improving memory. An experiment is conducted using Psychopy. The participants are going to memorize words and do a simple recognition task. The different position of visual aid is the altered variable between the 3 experiment groups. The results show a strong correlation between visual and linguistic perception. In the future, this experiment can be taken further deeper into this topic, or people can apply the results in real life.
