2- The author of the blog is Dr. Bill, "Memory Medic"

Bryan, Texas, United States.  Neuroscientist ... Education Consultant ... Professor ... Speaker ... Author He has been a neuroscience researcher and professor for 49 years. Books I have written that the general public should be interested in include: Atoms of Mind.  This blog has many things can you find about how you can improve your learning and memory. Also, the author wrote summaries of research reports that have practical application for everyday memory. This blog does not have a lot of followers based upon comments left.

3- I believe it is very useful to understand how your memory works and does not work.  This blog helped me with my learning and it is important for you to have both a variety of learning strategies at your disposal and to understand why those strategies work and why others do not. Learning strategies are not magic; they work because they use what we know about how our memory works and are applications of basic memory principles. In short, you can use your knowledge about the information processing model, the memory principles, and your learning style to select appropriate learning strategies and adapt them to you and your needs. This is really the key to success. I read this blog because some time I losing my memory. So, I want to learn more about how can improve my learning and memory. I think the stress and multitasking are among the chief causes of memory lapses. In the first memory situation, interference prevents recall. In the second situation, a lack of memory maintenance hampers retrieval along.  Our third case of memory failure most likely reflects the consequences of stress, poor nutrition and exhaustion more than it involves academic difficulty or memory loss. Nearly every aspect of our daily lives are influence in a significant way by memory.

 4-My favorite posts by the blog author that you found interesting was the reasons memorization matters. There is strategy many people have used to successfully retain information is to sleep immediately following study sessions. While awake, people are constantly thinking, which contributes to memory loss. Likewise, it is also helpful to exercise, socialize with friends, or participate in other recreational activities immediately after studying to increase memory retention.  Also, is often employed by students learning to multiply and memorize equations.  Students who must understand generalized concepts, such as theories, employ understanding based memorization. It is easier to retain information that is related to familiar concepts. While studying, relate recently acquired knowledge with concepts you have already mastered. Always strive to have a well rounded understanding of what you are studying.

 In my opinion, Memory like muscular strength requires you to use it or lose it. The more you work out your brain, the better you will be able to process and remember information. The best brain exercising activities break your routine and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways.

Memory is more than recalling information for exams or trivia games. It is an important work skill that you can develop and improve. Whether it is remembering key statistics during a negotiation, or quoting a precedent setting action when making a decision, or impressing clients with your knowledge of their product lines your ability to remember is a major advantage.
