CAI’s In-Depth Exploration of Memory Science

Many of us often ponder how we can tackle one of the most frustrating aspects of the human experience: forgetting. It can be frustrating to try and remember things we want to recall while effortlessly remembering things we wish we could forget. How is it possible to confidently remember something and yet be mistaken about it? Remembering people’s names can be a challenge for many of us, despite our best efforts. Additionally, it can be disheartening to study extensively for an exam only to struggle with recalling the material during the actual test.

On The Point, we delve into these questions and more with Dr. Andrew Budson and Dr. Elizabeth Kensinger, authors of the new book “Why We Forget, and How to Remember Better.” Their book aims to address these common memory-related queries and provide insights on how to enhance our memory capabilities. Hosted by Mindy Todd, the discussion focuses on strategies to improve memory and understand the intricacies of why we forget certain things. By identifying the underlying mechanisms of memory, Dr. Budson and Dr. Kensinger offer practical tips to help us remember better in various aspects of our lives.
