There is this little cute test online where a few numbers flash on the screen for several seconds, and you're supposed to click on them in ascending order after they have disappeared (and have been replaced by empty boxes).
I don't do well on that test, which is basically a test of your visual field and visuospatial working memory. This got me thinking because I am not an attentive person in general. I can be mindful and do my best to tune into a patient, and note his non/verbal behavior, but I'll go blank if someone asked me about the color of his shoes or placement of a desk or something. I mean, how do you go about remembering desk's spatial location to the garbage bin, and that relative to stereo? Of course that may be trivial but there are times that I need to remember locations of things in space, and I don't know how. There are mnemonics for remembering psych theories and dates and so on, but no effective ones I know of, for visuospatial memory.
Do you guys have excellent visuospatial memory? If so, how do you do it or how have you improved it?
