How many times have you forgotten where your car keys are. Have you ever mislaid your phone? What about the person you met yesterday? Can you still remember their name? On the other hand you might well remember some childhood memories such as specific toys you had or the year in which a specific pop song was in the charts.
Here to talk about memory, answer some of those questions and give some advice on how we can improve our memory I’m joined by Megan Sumeracki. Megan is Associate Professor of psychology at Rhode Island College. She’s a cognitive psychologist in learning and memory and author of the book, The Psychology of Memory.

We learn about the differences between short-term and long-term memory, the concept of implicit memory, and how attention plays a crucial role in what we retain. We are given practical tips on how to improve memory, such as using retrieval practice and spacing techniques.
