Question

I have the habit of closing my eyes after reading a few lines and then try to recollect it.I do this in the Library.I am not sure what people think of it.Is it a q***r habit?

Answer 1

No, some people have levels of photographic memory and this is actually probably what you are practicing!

Answer 2

If it works for you, then who cares if it's q***r.  

Answer 3

yea people have many different habits i usually look somewhere else but i know some one that hums some kind of rythm and it helps him concentrate but i think its just strange but closing your eyes is a very usual habit.

Answer 4

No.  I usually look away from the screen, but never close my eyes.

Answer 5

ya and lean my head and also sratch it, but i really concentrate on what im trying o recall

Answer 6

No. It's a good way to help you memorize something. I used to do it when I'm trying to memorize a list (like in school when you had a list of 10 or 20 spelling words and definitions). I also did it when I was in drama and memorizing my lines.

When I take a test sometimes I close my eyes and in my imagination I can see the words as they appeared on the page.

Gotta do what works for you! No matter how "dorky" it seems!

Answer 7

yeah i close my eyes but im usually in the fetal position at the time and tears are streaming outa them...

Answer 8

yes i also do the same. if it works who cares it is a q***r...

Answer 9

when i was in school and in college i used to do it all the time. i still do it when i'm trying to remember things. it actually works. i was taught it again 3 years ago when i had a stroke and would have to try and remember things that i was trying to relearn that's how my therapist taught me to do it.

Answer 10

Yes and sometimes I put my head down for a little nap in the hope that I dream the answer!

Answer 11

i think it's cool too be able too do that.. it must be easy for you too think. it's hard for me. :[
