The Second Aid—Motion
You often pass a thing that is motionless without notice, but if it moves it attracts your attention. While walking down the city street you pay little attention to the show windows, but if there is something moving in one you will stop to notice it. The sidewalk will even be blocked by the simple motion of some thing in the display. This is the use of motion to impel your attention. If you are in a crowd and see a friend whose attention you wish to attract, you wave your hand or handkerchief. Children like to see "the wheels go 'round," and we never lose the fascination which motion has for us. A person lacking in the power of concentration will fix his closest attention upon the moving picture or object.
Just as the motion picture is more attractive than the old style stereopticon, so motion introduced into the visual pictures for memory purposes will increase the impression upon the brain and increase your ability to recall it.
To still further strengthen the impression of the House, see it in motion instead of standing still. See it on wheels moving down the street or blown from the foundation by a strong wind. The farther you see the object move, or the more rapid the motion, the stronger the impression.
