Try this with a group of friends.
Someone volunteers to gather, say, 10 varied objects and place them on a small tray.
Let the rest of the group study them for a couple minutes, then cover the tray and ask everyone to write down as many of the objects as they can remember.
This will be very easy for you when you have prepared yourself with any of the systems I’ve described.
If the group is interested in further tests, the volunteer could;
• add more items to the tray to test those who were most successful with the first round
• reach under the cloth and remove one or more items without showing what they are, then ask everyone to write down what has been removed without looking at the lists which they wrote previously.
• Set out another selection of items but put numbers alongside each one. Then, cover the whole tray after a couple of minutes. The volunteer could then call out a number or an object, and see who (apart from you, of course) can most quickly remember the corresponding item or number.
