Visual Memory Skills

Basic memory skills can be defined as “the ability to recall information that was seen, heard, etc.” One type of memory skill is visual memory. Visual memory involves the ability to recall an object once it has been removed from sight. The development of visual memory skills is a step-by-step developmental process. As children grow and develop, their ability to recall information will develop also.  

Why are visual memory skills important? The answer is quite straightforward for a wide variety of reasons. First, they are important for real life! Every day both adults and children must utilize their memory skills. How many times have you memorized a phone number or an address?
Or maybe you tried to remember what the outfit you saw at the mall looked like? Everyone uses their memory skills every day. Activities such as the one described in the example are a fun way to help children build memory skills that they will use throughout their lives.   Furthermore, well-developed visual memory skills will come in handy as children begin to explore abstract symbols such as numbers and letters. For instance, the letters b, d, and p look very much alike, don’t they? Visual memory skills help us to remember which letter is which.  There are many different materials and activities that can be utilized to help young children develop memory skills. As you begin to develop activities for your children, keep in mind that young children of the same chronological age often function on many different developmental levels. You must observe each child carefully to see how you can adapt the activity to meet individual needs.
