TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flash card and a flash card implementation method that, even when a flash card practitioner himself / herself views a flashed card by himself / herself, has the same memory-enhancing effect as having another person flash the card.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Flash cards in which characters or figures are written on B6 to A4 size cards are known. As shown in FIG. 5, the flash card practitioner P holds about ten flash cards C on the left hand, sits facing the subject Q who views the flash card, and executes the flash card with the right hand as shown by the arrow in FIG. The card is picked up at the rearmost part on the participant P side and moved to the foremost part on the participant Q side at a rate of one card per 0.5 to 1 second. Since the time for moving one card is about 0.5 to 1 second, the time for the subject Q to see the one card is an extremely short time of 1 second or less. In the present specification, turning over a flash card at a high speed as described above and instantly showing a character or a graphic written on the flash card to a person who views the flash card is referred to as “flashing”.
[0003]
Flash cards are implemented as a kind of intellectual play for infants (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1), but can be implemented for memory enhancement for elementary school students and above (for example, Patent Document 1). As described above, the flash card is executed by the practitioner and the executor facing each other. However, it is troublesome for other people. Therefore, it is desirable that the flash card can be executed by only one person other than an infant.
[0004]
Therefore, it is conceivable that a person who views the flash card turns the surface of the flash card on which the characters or graphics are written toward himself and flashes the flash card by himself. However, when looking at a flash card that is flashed by another person, there is freshness, fun, and strong impression where the flash card is replaced irrespective of your own will, whereas if you flash the flash card yourself, it is a flash card There is a problem that the flashing of the flash card does not have the effect of increasing the memory, because the turning over is performed by the user's own intention, and there is no such freshness or interest as described above.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a flash card and a flash card implementation method that, even when a flash card practitioner himself sees a flash card flashed by himself, has the same memory enhancement effect as having another person flash.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve such a problem, the present invention is characterized in that, in a set of flash cards composed of a plurality of cards with characters or figures written on the surface, the characters or figures are written with left and right reversed. To provide a set of flash cards.
[0008]
According to such an invention, since the characters or figures are written on the flash card with the right and left inverted, it is possible to see the flash card as a normal character or figure with the left and right not inverted by mirroring the flash card. it can. Then, when the flash card practitioner flashes the flash card at the mirror and looks at the flash card reflected in the mirror, it feels as if another person is looking at the flash card being flashed, so the flash card practitioner Despite seeing the flash card flashed by himself, he feels fresh and interesting, and receives a strong impression, so that the effect of increasing the memory by the flash card can be obtained.
[0009]
Further, the present invention provides a set of flash cards comprising a plurality of cards in which characters or figures are written on a thin plate-shaped base material, wherein the base material is transparent or translucent. Can also be provided.
[0010]
According to such an invention, since the base material on which the characters or figures are written is transparent, the characters or figures are ordinary characters or figures whose right and left are not reversed when the flash card is viewed from one side. When the flash card is viewed from the opposite side, the flash card can be recognized as a reversed character or figure.
[0011]
Therefore, if the flash performer holds multiple flash cards, sits facing the performer, flashes the flash card and shows it to the performer, Alternatively, the flash card according to the present invention can be used in the same manner as a conventional flash card if the graphic is shown as a normal character or graphic which is not reversed left and right.
[0012]
In addition, when the surface of the flash card according to the present invention in which the characters or figures appear to be inverted is copied to a mirror, the characters or figures are viewed as normal characters or figures in the mirror that are not inverted. be able to.
[0013]
And when the flash card practitioner holds the flash card, flashes the flash card toward the mirror, and looks at the flash card reflected in the mirror, it feels as if someone is looking at the flash card being flashed In spite of the fact that the flash card practitioner looks at the flash card he is flashing himself, the effect of improving the memory can be obtained.
[0014]
That is, the flash card according to the present invention is used both in the case where the practitioner flashes the flash card with respect to the subject and in the case where the flash card practitioner himself sees the flash card flashed by himself / herself. can do.
[0015]
In the present invention, a translucent substrate refers to a substrate that is lightly colored or matte and that can visually recognize characters or graphics written on one surface of the substrate from the other surface. If the substrate of the flash card is translucent, when viewing the flash card to be flashed (when the subject sees the flash card flashed by the practitioner and the practitioner sees the flash card flashed by himself In both cases), even when the flash cards overlap each other, the characters or graphics written on the lower flash card are shielded by the base material of the upper flash card.
[0016]
Therefore, as in the case where the base material is transparent, the characters or graphics written on the lower flash card can be seen through, so that the characters written on the upper flash card are not easily recognized. The practitioner who sees the flash card flashed by himself / herself and the practitioner who sees the flash card flashed by the practitioner can change the characters written on the flash card to be flashed with the other flash card. It can be easily read even in the superposed state.
[0017]
Further, the present invention provides a flash card in which a character or a figure of a set of flash cards in which the characters or figures are written upside down is faced to a mirror by an operator of the flash card, and the flash card The flash card is flashed by the practitioner, and the practitioner looks at the characters or graphics written on the flash card reflected on the mirror.
[0018]
According to such an invention, a set of flash cards in which characters or graphics are written left and right reversed are held by the practitioner of the flash card and mirrored, so that the practitioner can read the left and right written on the flash card. Can be viewed as a normal character or graphic whose left and right are not reversed.
[0019]
Then, the flashcard is flashed by the practitioner, and the character or graphic written on the flashcard reflected in the mirror is viewed by the practitioner, so that the flashcard as if another person is flashing is displayed. Since the user feels as if watching, the effect of increasing the memory can be obtained despite the fact that the flash card practitioner is watching the flash card he is flashing himself.
[0020]
