Q
Memory experts say that short,temporary instances of forgetfulness,often called "senior
moments",are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays.Many of us find it
increasingly difficult to recall simple things:names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a
while,common words that should come casilv.or even how to carry out routine actions that once
seemed like second nature.
The massive amount of informnation flooding in from various digital channels is occupying
our brains.We are constantly screlling our phones while doing other things,which neuroscientists
say makes it extremely hard to encode memories in the first place.As Sara C.Mednick,a
neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California,Irvine,explains,
our brains are like computers with too many labels open at the same time.This slows down our
processing power,and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result.
Lasting and accumulated stress also has a significant impact on memory.Recent life stressors
have been found to impair people's memory,as stress negatively affects attention span and sleep,
both of which are closely linked to memory pertormance.Worse still,long-term stress can damage
the brain and cause more lasting memory problems.Although memory declines with age,medical
science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts.Some studies show that
memory ability peaks in people's 20s and declines gradually from then on,while others suggest the
sharpest drop begins around age 60,since people age cognitively at different rates
To boost memory,experts offer several practical suggestions.Forcing yourself to remember
something is counterproductive because frustration will prevent your brain from restoring
information effectively.Instead,you should calm down and try again later.Quitting multitasking
and focusing on one task at a time helps reduce information overload.Daily meditation,slow deep
breathing,walking in nature and enough sleep can strengthen your brain and improve memory
function.Being fully present in conversations and giving others your full attention also helps you
remember information more clearly.
