Remember More, Forget Less

À propos de cet épisode

<p>It happens to the best of us — we blank on someone's name, or forget an important meeting, or bomb a test we thought we'd ace.   Today on the show, we talk to cognitive scientist <a href="https://psychology.as.virginia.edu/people/profile/dbw8m">Daniel Willingham</a> about the mysteries of memory: How it works, why it fails us, and how to build memories that stick. </p><p><i>It used to be that we tried our best to conceal disadvantages. But new research sheds a light on the strange phenomenon of people who pretend to be worse off than they really are.  Check out our recent episode "</i><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/crying-wolf/"><i>Crying Wolf"</i></a><i>.</i> <i>And if you like our work, please consider supporting it!
