Research has indicated on numerous occasions that visual cues help us to better remember information. It has been proven that the part of our brain that process words is much smaller compared to the part that processes visual images. Words are more complex than visuals, thus making it easier for our brains to retain visual information faster. Images or pictures are the simplest way to ensure that information gets stored as a long term memory. There are countless studies that have confirmed the power of visual imagery in learning. According to results of research outcomes, the effective use of visual cues can make learning a skill faster, improve comprehension, and increase your ability to retain the information.
Learning can be strengthened with different visual cues because they prompt, encourage as well as attract the student's attention. Visual aids spark the interest of students and help teachers explain in a clear fashion.
Visual supports, such as photos, drawings and gestures can help. They are sometimes paired with verbal or written information. They help children know what to do, what's expected of them, and learn new skills. Using visual strategies as an educator is an extremely considerate thing to do, especially for diverse learners and have been proven to help teachers to manage classrooms better while teaching their students how to self regulate in a simpler way.
