Huberman Lab · How to Improve Your Memory & Cognitive Function at Any Age | Dr. Alan Castel · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

But a lot of it is, what do you have to do today?

Are you meeting this person?

We offload this to our phones and get reminders.

But we're prone to forgetting.

And especially under, you're talking about high arousal, this person's falling.

But it's even as simple as when you're in the car.

And you're probably aware when you're in the car, you start mind wandering, you're thinking of a million other things.

And all of a sudden you've arrived somewhere or you missed your turn.

So our brain kind of takes over in ways that we might not be sure about.

It's true.

I think the more you think about it, it's amazing how much we do remember, especially under some circumstances.

But I agree that a lot of this, you know, scuba diving too, because you're underwater with, you know, buoyancy, you have to figure things out.

And I got certified too when I was 20.

I wouldn't trust myself to do it again.

I'd want to probably take the entire course again.

And maybe, but when you're 30, maybe you feel confident and, you know, especially drivers, like new drivers, you know, you give very little training to

to younger drivers, and then you're like, you're on your own.

I've seen it with my children learning to drive.

I also realize I'm not as good a driver as I thought I was.

I'm certainly passing on some habits that I probably should be more aware of, and they're more rule-based, they're aware of how to do things.
