Wenschler memory scale impossible?

I did some tests years ago, and the results were that I had a bad visual memory.
How well do you visualize things?
I'm terrible at it but what helps is moving the cognitive load away from visual memory, e.g. don't try to match the pictures in your mind's eye to the pictures on the page, but rather make verbal story that you sub vocalize.

So for the first image you are looking for "The Star comes before the Sun." And "Four Squares on a Ski slope"

If the idea of a mind's eye doesn't make much sense to you then you may have aphantasia.

>"The Star comes before the Sun." And "Four Squares on a Ski slope"

The advantage is that matching the phrase "four squares on a slope" to the image will find both the sequence that starts at the end of line 1 and runs onto line 2 as well as the duplicate sequence on line 4, when a purely visual method might miss the first instance of the sequence... BUT the disadvantage is that the visual method is much much faster for people who don't have memory impairments.

ALSO if you use coping mechanisms like building stories out of the images then you may score well enough to hid any impairment you might have which won't actually do you any favors in the long run. As you will continue to struggle with memory problems while your paper work says you are "normal".

I have brain damage but am still able to visualize things very well as you can see but I can't remember anything anymore I guess I'm just have to adapt I'll look into verbal memory methods

hmmm

I made a use of my Spacial and Mechanical Reasoning to solve a lot of puzzles, I didn't actually do any visualizing.
If that makes sense.
I only realized this recently, what I call visualizing isn't actually visual, not compared to other people.
I know this because some rare times I do visualize things, and it's very distinctly more visual.

Next I'm getting an fmri to check for loss of brain volume and neuron density

Then possibly a spinal tap lumbar puncture I'm dreading that one

Like this image you're "meant" to solve by mentally rotating the images in your mind's eye until they match or fail to match.
Which makes very little sense to me.
That's not how I solve them at all.
I just see that in Fig 2 the first two are "right handed" and the second two are "left handed" and I'm done. No mental rotation occurs.
Same with Figure 1, one object spirals one way, the other spirals the other way. It's a spatial relations problem, not visual, like putting to lego pieces together while your not looking at them, or the key in the lock in the dark.
