Professor Shimamura recorded talk titled “Human Memory, Aging and the Brain or Where Did I Put Those Keys?” describes the importance of focus and interactive participation as a way to better remember things. It helps to actively re-tell what you just heard in order to remember better. Actively telling people what you’ve learn (like what I am doing now). It requires integrating thoughts and spitting it out again.
