The app worksonthe concept of “visual memory,” – clear associative images aremoreeasily remembered than written information alone. Ratherthangiving a list of causes to be memorised in rote fashion, theapppresens differentials as pictures allowing a more natural andmoresuccessful learning technique. The images are clear, vivid andmorememorable than a bland written list of differentials."
