The Imagery Cycle

The Imagery Cycle is a process that describes how mental images are created, processed, and stored. It involves three main stages: first, visualizing or "seeing" images in your mind; second, experiencing these images with sensory details and emotional reactions; and third, encoding them into memory for future recall. This cycle helps improve understanding, learning, and memory by actively engaging your imagination to reinforce information. It is often used in techniques like visualization, therapy, and learning strategies to enhance mental clarity and retention.
