The End of Remembering – Journalist and memory champion Joshua Foer asks: how will we adapt to a new culture where most memories are stored outside the brain?
Exercise linked to age related memory ability – Certain types of memory begin to decline in our 20s. Early results suggest age related memory loss is a loss of encoding rather than recall. So a tip for those suffering age related memory loss is to train the encoding. To remember something, pay special attention to it. Put your keys next to a painting, or a pot plant. You will remember the painting or the pot plant and find your keys. Andrew Talk says memory ability can be improved with age. Aerobic activity is associated with memory ability. Blood vessels increase and certain brain cells grow more with physical activity.
