RECALL
Recall is a word that you would have certainly heard a lot many times. Basically, it is an activity of remembering anything that has been learnt or experienced in the past. Let us understand why recall is important in a student’s life.
​
Recall is something that helps a child to write his answers in the examination. Unless a child can recall whatever he has studied in the classroom or at home, all of his efforts to study will be considered as void. That is the kind of importance of recall.
​
Not only for students writing the exam, but also in every activity that we do, recall has an essential and unavoidable role to play. Even in a simple act of identifying a person, you need to recall their faces.

Connection between Abacus and the ability to Recall
​
We all are aware about the jaw-dropping benefits of Abacus training in small children. One of its most prominent benefits is “the ability to recall”.
​
The Abacus classes of children ensure whole brain development and help them recollect larger information of whatever has been studied. The instrument through its ancient and unique techniques of deriving solutions helps in creating visual pictures in the child’s mind. These pictures get stored in the brain as they are. The students, throughout the 10 levels of Abacus learning are taught to memorize and recall these visual images for solving the complex mathematical problems. A “picture perfect” recall then becomes a habit.
​
As it is said that Abacus utilizes both sides of the brain, the right hemisphere helps store visual images in the student’s mind. The right hemisphere of the human brain is superior as compared to the left, as it can remember, retain and distinguish easily between the spatial patterns.
​
In other words we can say that the Abacus students have improved visual memory as they capture images in the mind and recall them effectively. This becomes possible when the students are trained on making use of their right brain hemisphere.
