#939 - Dr Charan Ranganath - The Neuroscience Of How To Improve Your Memory & Focus

the better people get at this, the more likely it is that they can voluntarily forget something. Yeah. Now, these effects aren't gigantic, and it's not clear this is something that will help you. Probably it would be something that would help you forget a temporary password or something like that. I would be surprised if it doesn't help you with that. Maybe a traumatic experience? Unlikely.

But who knows? If you do it enough, maybe it would... lead you to forget it. If nothing else, I think it would make it harder to retrieve those memories.

Yes and no. I mean, what you're talking about is, I think, one of those kind of points where you want to be able to remember the things that are important. So I would say remember better, not more. try to remember the things that matter. So if you're with your family or close friends or a partner and you go on a holiday, those are the things that we typically like to remember.

I mean, to some extent, a holiday is an investment in memories, right? On the other hand, there's a lot that we forget that you can look and ask yourself, you know, 10 years later, will my future self care that I forgot this? No. Okay. So not that important. And I think that if you Go back to the examples of the things that you aren't remembering with it. Maybe you just need the right reminder.

Maybe you need to mentally go back there because sometimes what happens is when you take a holiday, you're in such a different state of mind. You're in a different place than you come back home. And you lose that part of yourself because you're a different person when you're in a different context, so to speak. So I think about this where Hawaii is my happy place.

When I'm in Hawaii, I can get into a mode that I can't get in my daily experience of work. So sometimes it's a matter of you go back there and you are in the humidity and you're smelling these tropical flowers, birds are going and boom, you remember all these things that you couldn't remember before.

And so maybe that's the thing that you want to be able to do is try to call back some of those memories, either with photos or with, you know, just at the end of the day while you're on these holidays. If you just take a moment and reflect on trying to just remember one positive thing from the day. Right.
