I used the exercise where the child I was working with chose some objects and we put them on a tray. She studied them for 1 minute and then I took the tray away and asked her to tell me all the objects she could remember. She looked up to the left with her eyes and was able to name 4 of the 8 objects.
I wondered if it would have been better to cover the tray but leave it on the table so she could visualise them on the tray. So I tried it next time using a different set of 8 objects and she was able to remember 7! I think this strategy helped a lot.
