Spatial Recognition


For those who don't know what spatial recognition is please look it up and get off my blog. Otherwise read on. Spatial recognition skills are crucial in not only memory palace but also and in basic memory of a room and or a person in the past. Lets say Frank is at his friends Larry's house. Frank has recently been practicing basic memory palaces for a year every morning for 20 minutes which obviously directly increase his spatial memory muscles but besides this Frank also enjoys music such as Mozart or rock with complex guitar and drums. He spends much of his time listening to this music and is considered a rocker. He has even gone to the extent of purchasing a guitar and a grand piano both of which he enjoys practicing with in his spare time. Not only does listening to music increase his spatial recognition and other cognitive abilities in general but so also does knowing how to play instruments and also knowing musical theory add to that. Thus rock bands and people who listen to Rock should experience an intellect boost.
Now let us say that in the car on his way to Larry's house Frank was rocking out to Queen. Studies have shown that if a person listens to music before an IQ test there results are increased especially the dramatic increase in the spatial recognition class.
Larry has lost his Lil Wayne CD. Frank accesses his spatial memory and remembers seeing a lil wayne CD a month ago under the couch whilst looking for the remote. Larry looks under the couch and finds his CD. Frank is silently apalled by Larry's taste in music and turns away.
