Following are five rules to help you in
forming ridiculous associations:
1) SUBSTITUTION – Using one object in
place of or instead of another object.
2) ACTION – Get movement or action into
your pictures
3) EXAGGERATION – See many items in
your pictures. (Millions)
4) OUT OF PROPORTION – See the
objects in your pictures larger than life or
smaller than life.
5) DISTORTION – See the objects distorted,
bent, or damaged in some way.
THE SUBSTITUTE WORD SYSTEM
OF MEMORY
Since it is always easier to remember what can be seen
rather than what is only read or heard, it is vital to develop a
way to picture all words.
The SUBSTITUTE WORD SYSTEM of memory is used to make
“unpicturable” words “picturable.” Many words are easy to picture in
your mind. You have no trouble seeing a tiger, elephant, flower,
automobile, or banana in your mind, do you? These are items that can
be pictured. In other words, you know what they look like because you
have seen them in a picture or perhaps in real life.
However, there are many words that cannot be pictured. Such a
word is BELIEVE. You can say, “I believe you.” But what do you see
in your mind when you think of the word BELIEVE? By developing a
substitute word, another word in its place, you will be able to picture it.
The Substitute Word that is developed will sound like the original word,
and this SOUND-ALIKE word can then be pictured.
Since the word BELIEVE can’t be pictured, how about this:
A bee on a leaf can easily be pictured or seen. You just saw it.
Now, BEE-LEAF sounds very much like BELIEVE, so bee-leaf will
remind you of the word BELIEVE. And most importantly, you can now
see a picture of the word BELIEVE because of the substitute word or
sound-alike word that was developed.
The Substitute Word System will be used when necessary to make
unpicturable words for the application of the simple procedures in this
book.
