A neuroscientist's strategies to help you remember what really matters, and how mood, multitasking and other people can impact our memories

Charan Ranganath is a professor at the Center for Neuroscience and Department of Psychology and director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at the University of California at Davis. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The different kinds of memory that help us function day to day
  • The impact mood has on memories - not just making them, but recalling them
  • Why forgetting is not only useful but essential - even if it doesn't always feel like it
  • Practical tips to help us remember better, including distinctiveness, meaning & organization, planting cues, and chunking
  • Why making errors is actually one of the best things you can do for learning and memory
