EYE ACCESING CUES

*
Why is this useful?
1. It makes communicating with others more effective, easy and successfully in
every area of your life (business, education, public speaking, personal
relationships, etc.)
2. Use them to think more effectively: if you cant remember something you can
move your eyes up left if the information forgotten is an image or you can move
your eyes toward your left ear if the information is a sound. In this form you will
remember easily.
3. Know when to shut up!: if you speak while a person is making eye movements,
you will interrupt their thinking and this will slow down the interaction.
4. How to know their needs: if you know what kind of person is someone you can
influence their thinking. If he is visual give him images, if he is auditory give him
sounds, etc.
5. Liar detection: eye movements are useful to know if someone is telling the truth
or lying. If the person moves the eyes to the right is inventing, building or
increasing something in the discourse.
6. If you discover what kind of person you are, you can learn better using certain
strategies.

IDEAS for VISUAL learners

Use coloured highlighter pens to mark your revision notes. You should identify key words
(these may be names, dates, places, etc.) You could even use different colours for different
types of information.
In the margins of your subject note-book, draw sketches or cartoons that relate to that
particular topic or paragraph. These will not only help you to locate that particular section but
will also make it more memorable.
Pay attention to the layout of your revision notes. You might find it useful to use flow-charts
(in science, history, English and other subjects to keep track of events) or diagrams (in
science, geography, maths and other subjects.)

IDEAS for AUDITORY learners

You might find it helpful to play soothing music as you revise. Experts suggest that some
types of music (particularly that with a tempo of 58-60 beats per minute) can help to generate
relaxed-but-alert Beta brain-waves - which can help you learn more effectively. However,
music at a faster tempo or music with a strong lyric can have a distracting effect.
Record key points on tape and play them over, especially just before going to sleep.
Having identified key points from your revision notes, try making these into a rhyme, rap or
song. This will make them more memorable.
Explain what you have learned to someone else, perhaps to your parents. They usually go on
about how important it is to revise properly - so why shouldn't they suffer as well!

IDEAS for KINAESTHETIC learners

Starting with your list of Key-words, write each key-word on a sticky-note. You could even
add a little drawing to each note - or a few words of explanation.
Stick these at strategic points around your room. For example: by the light switch - left hand
side of shelf - right hand side of shelf - left-hand cupboard door - right-hand cupboard door next to picture, etc. Now, walk around the room, pausing in front of each sticky-note in turn
and reading the key-word.
If you do this a few times, you will find it easy to recall what is on each of the sticky-notes
without actually walking around the room.
