Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Your brain can remember anything, and it does so by changing as a result of what you experience. Your brain perceives the sensory, emotional, and factual elements of what you experience through the portals of your senses.
#2 The four steps of memory formation are encoding, consolidation, storage, and retrieval. To create a memory, you must put the information into your brain, weave the information together, store it via stable changes in your brain, and then retrieve it when you want to use it.
#3 The hippocampus is the brain region that stores memories for later recall. If something interferes with the processing of a nascent memory in the hippocampus, the memory can be degraded and possibly lost.
#4 Memories are stored throughout your brain in the pattern of neural activity that was stimulated when the event or information was first experienced. Your memory of last night’s dinner requires the activation of the same constellation of disparate neurons that perceived, paid attention to, and processed your initial experience of that meal.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Your brain can remember anything, and it does so by changing as a result of what you experience. Your brain perceives the sensory, emotional, and factual elements of what you experience through the portals of your senses.

#2

The four steps of memory formation are encoding, consolidation, storage, and retrieval. To create a memory, you must put the information into your brain, weave the information together, store it via stable changes in your brain, and then retrieve it when you want to use it.

#3

The hippocampus is the brain region that stores memories for later recall. If something interferes with the processing of a nascent memory in the hippocampus, the memory can be degraded and possibly lost.

#4

Memories are stored throughout your brain in the pattern of neural activity that was stimulated when the event or information was first experienced. Your memory of last night’s dinner requires the activation of the same constellation of disparate neurons that perceived, paid attention to, and processed your initial experience of that meal.

#5

When we remember something, we are reactivating the various elements of the information we experienced, woven together as a single unit. Retrieval of a memory happens when one part of the memory is stimulated, triggering activation of the linked memory circuit.

#6

If we want to remember something, we must first notice what is going on. This requires two things: perception and attention. If you want to remember something, above all else, you must pay attention to it.

#7

Your memory isn’t a video camera that records everything you see and hear. You can only remember what you pay attention to. If you don’t notice where you put your glasses, you can’t form a memory of where you put them.

#8

If we want to remember something, we first have to pay attention to it. Unfortunately, this isn’t easy for our brains. In driving over the Sagamore Bridge, for example, we might have been distracted by a conversation or some delicious daydream, and we wouldn’t have registered driving over the bridge.

#9

The Apple logo is one of the most recognizable images worldwide, and most of us see this image daily on laptops, iPhones, and in advertisements.
