Do
you ever walk out of a room with an idea in your head, only to discover moments
later that it's gone? if so, don't worry: it's a very common experience.
The
problem is often caused by "event boundaries". They make you believe that a particular
mental task is over.
Tests
have proved that we're much more forgetful when we move from one location to
another. It's because anything that seems like the end
of a task — closing a study book, finishing a phone call, taking a cake out of
the oven — can have the same effect. Within seconds, much information in your
mind has disappeared.
First,
stop telling your brain that its work is done. This can be as simple as leaving
a book open instead of putting it back on the shelf. Second, create clues to
carry with you across any unavoidable event boundary. Notice when these
end-points are coming up, and spend a moment improving your memory.
If
possible, say the key points out loud: the job you're walking off to do in the
next room, for example, or the plans you've just made on the phone. We actually
know memory depends on imagery.
Every
day you're faced with event boundaries that may restrict your recall. But by
avoiding them when you can, and disguising them when you can't, you'll find
that much less of your learning gets lost.
A. But here's how to fight
back.
B. So picture the details you
want to keep.
C. Many of us don't know how
to deal with it properly.
D. These are what your memory
uses to stop remembering.
E. And scientists believe
that we can explain and approach it.
F. But the same happens when
we go from one activity to another, too.
G. And only in this way can
we overcome event boundaries successfully.
