🧠 Mindmap: The Wallpaper Effect according to Vera F. Birkenbihl
How to use your subconscious for your next exam
What does wallpaper have to do with a successful exam? A lot – if you ask Vera F. Birkenbihl. Because: Our brain also learns unconsciously – and this is exactly what the so-called wallpaper effect describes.
The idea behind it: If you have information regularly, incidentally, and visually present, your brain connects it with your surroundings – like wallpaper. Without active learning, knowledge, connections, and terms creep into your long-term memory. Sounds magical? It is – but scientifically proven!
