Recommendation

Imagine that you’re a child who’s witnessed an important historical event during medieval times – the King’s wedding, or maybe a great battle. Your parents want you to remember the event, so, sensible people that they are, they throw you in the river immediately afterward. You’re left gasping, choking and soaked to the bone. What would you gain from this experience besides a lasting distrust of your parents? Apparently, you’d gain an enduring memory of the historical event. Why? That’s a question best answered by Stanford professor Andrew Huberman on this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast.

Take-Aways

  • Both consistent repetition and emotionally intense experiences can form lasting memories.
  • You can improve your memory through emotions, or rather the neurochemicals that evoke them.
  • A medieval practice of enhancing memory retention was throwing children into the river.
