Remember things better by understanding how your memory works. If
memory is a simple thing, why does it so often go awry? Why is
forgetting so common? How can you be certain about something you
remember-and be wrong about it? Why is it so difficult to remember
people's names? How can you study hard for an exam but not be able
to recall the material on the test? In Why We Forget, Dr. Andrew
Budson and Dr. Elizabeth Kensinger address these questions and
more, using their years of experience to guide readers into better
memory. Why We Forget shows you how to use these answers to improve
your memory. In its pages you will learn: · How memory's most
important function isn't to help you remember details from your
past. · How memory is actually a collection of different
abilities. · How you create, store, and retrieve memories of your
daily life. · Ways to control what you remember and what you
forget. · Ways to distinguish between a true and false memory. ·
Effective ways to study for an exam. · How to remember people's
names, all your passwords, 50 digits of Pi, and anything else you
wish. · How memory changes in normal aging, Alzheimer's disease,
depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and other disorders-including
COVID brain fog. · How exercise, nutrition, alcohol, cannabis,
sleep, mindfulness, and music affect your memory. Why We Forget
uses the science of memory to empower you with the knowledge you
need to remember better, whether you are a college student looking
to ace your next exam, a business professional preparing a
presentation, or a healthcare worker needing to memorize the 600+
muscles in the human body.
