Abstract

While in higher education, grades in computer science and STEM courses negatively correlate with the vividness of object visual imagery (Sokolowski, 2024), it appears that among individuals lacking object visual imagery, there is a higher proportion who did not learn the multiplication table during early schooling compared to the majority. Based on a non-representative survey, I hypothesized that there is a relationship between the effectiveness of multiplication table memorization and the vividness of object visual imagery. However, in reviewing the literature on teaching methods for the multiplication table that employ visual memory, I have not yet found support for this hypothesis.
