Well, first of all, this conversation is changing your brain.

I mean, I don't just mean because it's some kind of massively transformative thing.

Which it is.

Every experience we have impacts the way our brain functions.

So there's no divide between experience and brain changes.

They're just happening concurrently, right?

So, yes, it is the case.

You have such great intuition about neuroscience.

It's awesome.

Thank you.

So, yes, it is the case that the more attentive we are, the more granular, fine-grained the inputs are for our memory.

In fact, attention is the gateway for memory.

If you don't pay attention, there's no way that you're going to have the experience of encoding episodes in your life, gaining new information.

Now, there are aspects of memory that are outside the scope of something you need attention for after it's well learned.

So for example, if I tell you, tell me across the board of a keyboard what the letters are.

I mean, I can tell you, but if you give me a keyboard, I can type it.

So that's an example of something we call procedural memory, which is you actually don't need your attention for that.

But for episodes and knowledge, you need attention to input the information.
