Por qué olvidamos y cómo recordar mejor

If memory is a simple, automatic thing, why does it so often go awry? Why is forgetting so common? Why is it so hard to remember people's names or passwords? How is it possible to study hard for an exam and not be able to remember anything afterwards? Dr. Andrew Budson and Dr. Elizabeth Kensinger address these questions and many more using their years of experience to guide readers in an entertaining and educational way toward better memory. In Why We Forget and How to Remember Better we will find ways to control what we remember and what we forget, to distinguish between a true and false memory, effective ways to study, how exercise, nutrition, alcohol, cannabis, sleep, mindfulness, and music affect memory, or how memory changes with aging, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and anxiety, among many other issues.
