[Music]
stress is a problem in remembering
things okay one of the best things you
can do is to reset yourself and in most
cases
last about 120 to 180 seconds okay
there's a physical reaction when you get
fear you get something there's a vis
reaction okay so if you can wait it off
for 2 to 3 minutes you're home free and
one of the things this works the Navy
Seals
use and they use something called inhale
exhale can everybody see the inhale
exhale there
so I want you to sit and inhale say
inhale and you have to be approximate
you
not ex sit comfortably open your chest
open
yourself and keep the card in your
hand
anybody anybody just walk in don't have
a
car you don't
have anybody just walked in want a
card are you here for the memory talks
good good
good supplies are
limited come now right now wow so many
people I was expecting to talk to my
wife and a couple of friends who I paid
to come for this class but looks like
I'm doing
okay and this is going to be a fairly
informal person presentation I really
want you to interact with this okay if
you want to change your memory the first
rule is paying attention and you know so
right now look at the screen inhale
exhale follow
that if you're anybody just talk come
and you don't have this card raise your
hand this was good
stuffff $
Brandon are you ready to go yes yes it
is okay my name is Con people call me Dr
K I spent a lifetime hacking
my and I've done all kinds of crazy
things all the sad
things and I was photographic
memory and I didn't realize till much
later that I had a photographic memory
because I could even remember the stains
in my
notebook and then I moved to the United
States now in India I was pretty good I
was probably remembering 30 40 telephone
numbers but there six digigit numbers I
came to the United States and there were
10 digit
numbers and so I
said I got to learn this and so I
started reming 10 number I was really
proud of myself I was traveling all over
the world and I would be 10 15 20 people
and I remember the names I remember
their faces and they would just be
amazed at that and
then I turned it off before sorry that's
okay I thought you didn't want to record
my
voice so everything was going good and
then
came the
smartphone which made me down and I hate
to tell you I got two sons and I don't
remember their phone numbers I depend on
myself how many of you like
[Music]
that so I want to tell you it's a think
that I remember my phone number which is
pretty good
right and we got two volunteers here
Chris and aul please stand up give them
a round of
applause thank you thank you take a b
Take a
Bow it'll take care of any humiliation I
do after this thank
you so what we are going to talk
today
is we're going to play we're going to
experiment with brain this is not going
to be a boring lecture okay I want you
to actively participate in this I want
you to raise hand I want you to say hey
explain that concept again because
you're going to learn more actively
learning than being
pass and I'm going to going to show you
five mind hacks and if you have a
notebook on your side take notes it's a
good idea to take notes except one or
two sections I'll tell you not to take
notes and don't take not of that time
we'll be test thumbs up everybody okay
and people who came late see me after
this I got a gift for you so you can
come and grab after after the session
goes so here's the thing right why do we
care about memory because the phones can
remember
this I tell you you are going to get get
an
advantage over your colleagues and other
people because memory impacts four
areas the first area is critical
thinking when we know more we are likely
to make more connections than we don't
know raise your hand if you understand
this
one
communication how many times have we
said oh my God I forgot that when we
having that conversation I promise you
your relationships will get better with
communication now my wife will claim
that I listen but I don't hear that's a
different
problem not here to solve marital
problems
collaboration if you remember better
what the other person's thing is just
remembering atul's name and Chris's name
makes a
difference okay it's important for you
for collaboration and create rou okay
these are four areas and if if you're a
of you all know how Harari he says the
most important
ability in the next years next few years
will be ability to change learn new
things and preserve your mental balance
in unfamiliar situations and I have two
ways for you to do that one is through
breathing that we just started out the
second one is the mem now typically
right when somebody goes and gives you a
talk they give you a list of things
correct learn and learn emotional
intelligence feelings are important part
these are the five tips motivation
action deliberate practice you know
memory pegs Memory Palace now you we
dutifully take these notes and we forget
them so now Chris and Atul are going to
help me so Chris andul please please
come
here
so let's pick somebody Atul is Mahatma
ghi of uh favorite person of yours
Mahatma Gandhi give me an inspirational
person that everybody
knows yeah subash Chandra BOS subash
Chandra BOS okay let's let's pick a name
that these people know um who do you
pick um Mr Rogers Mr Rogers everybody
know Mr
Rogers okay so now what we're going to
do
is aul you're going we walking into the
house okay in the hallway does Mr Rogers
M and Mr Rogers says AAL you're the most
motivated person I believe he puts on on
a sweater and he says you're the most
motivated person can you visualize that
yep Chris can you visualize Mr Rogers
telling you absolutely absolutely give
me a thumbs up awesome okay so that's
the first thing the second one now all
of you do the same in your head raise
your hand if you can see
that the next one you go into practice
everybody knows Michael Jordan anybody
not know Michael Jordan everybody knows
Michael Jordan the famous basketball
player so Atul can you imagine you walk
into that the kitchen and Michael Jordan
is playing
basketball okay and he tells Atul you
need to practice every day can you see
that yep thumbs up yep I'd be worried
about the dishes but yeah and that's the
whole idea right you want the dishes to
break in your mixture because that will
make it a memorable picture if you have
sex in the kitchen great way I'm telling
you because the brain brain remembers
violence it REM the first thing what did
she think about cracking dishes right so
she's activating that part of
imagination raise your hand if you
understand this feelings are important
part of emotions okay from there we go
Chris goes into the bathroom Okay and
she takes pieces of her brain and puts
it on pegs around the mirror can you
visualize that give me a thumbs up take
parts of your brain and put it on the
pegs around the mirror
can you see that can you see that
everybody
else okay so that's
pegs the next one is a palace Atul you
know Buckingham Palace right imagine
there's a huge
inflatable uh picture of um balloon of
uh Buckingham Palace and it's filling up
that living room and you can barely
squeeze it and sit in the suitcase in
the sofa can you see that yep
Chris rest of you
awesome then we go to the notes room if
we go to the bedroom and there Chris
pick your favorite uh family
member or somebody who you distest in
your family too either is good cousin
cousin so imagine your cousin is sitting
and writing black notes on the white bed
sheet and you're just getting angry and
say don't take notes don't take notes
can you do that aul can you see in your
mind at somebody writing on the bedroom
bedroom sheets rest of you thumbs
up what have I done I have done here is
I have shown
you motivation and
action these are keys to shaping our
brain number two is deliberate practice
in your brain the more you practice the
better better it gets memory pegs
anytime you attach ideas to particular
pegs it helps you okay and the last the
fourth one is Memory Palace and the
fifth one is taking notes raise your
hands if you understand the
techniques okay Chris close your eyes
and then walk us through the five
scenarios and don't worry about making
mistakes fair so I think the first
step understanding your feeling in okay
very good and then what do you do in the
living when you walk into the hallway
who do you see uh Michael Jordan but
really just picturing Mr Rogers Mr
Rogers that's right what does Mr Rogers
tell you about you well he puts on his
sweater and he says that I'm amazing
you're amazing and you're motivated and
motivated okay good thank you now you go
into the into the kitchen and what do
you see there yep I was uh playing with
Rogers like sorry uh Michael Jordan and
what was he telling you yeah uh I didn't
remember like it is a practice practice
is most important y okay then what were
you doing in the bathroom CH I was
taking pieces of my brain and putting in
their own P correct near the bathroom
mirror
excellent what were you doing in the
living
room Memory Palace there a palace of
Bing Palace yeah Buckingham Palace and I
get yep okay and then the last one was
taking notes everybody get those images
in your head now do you understand these
images are more powerful than trying to
write a
list so go ahead sit down and we I'll
bring you guys folks again round of
applause for both of
[Applause]
them so the first one is motivation okay
if you're not motivated to learn
something you're not going to learn
something when I would go to a country
like South Africa or I would go to
Europe or I go to Brazil the names were
very different from what I'm used to
correct but I really cared because these
are people I'd meet again and again so I
was really motivated with that and also
I used to remember that when I
remembered the names they always
appreciated that I remember the names
okay and so that's the important thing
whenever you're going to start learning
some new something new US think about it
you're all here
today at 9:00 at night to learn on
memory that tells me that you're
motivated so round of applause to
[Music]
yourselves now I spend a lot of time
with brain brain stuff okay and you need
to understand there's not one brain
there are multiple brains the first one
is the slow brain okay knowledge is the
process of piling up facts wisdom lies
in their simplification and our brain is
always trying to simplify simplify
simplify so if you take time to
acknowledge that it will transform your
life okay so the slow brain I could sit
down with Atul and I could take him to
hypnosis and I could make him remember
nursery rhymes that he said when he was
a kid so our mind can remember amazing
things the only problem is we lose track
of it how many of you are like that that
okay so part of that is the slow brain
it has infinite amount of space and I'm
going to show you how infinite it is
fast brain we don't rise to the level of
expectations we fall to the level of our
training and this comes to us 300 BC in
Greece so if you don't practice these
techniques you're going to forget them
and so for example I Was preparing for
the CP exam right so my wife and I would
go for walks and I had to remember the
port numbers
so I had a list of port numbers and she
would have it in a sheet in the hand and
she would quiz me on that and that was a
great way to do a walk right better than
fighting with each
other so that's the fast brain the more
you practice the more difference you get
the social brain why am I teaching you
this because the older I get I hate to
tell you the memory loss goes down how
many of you can relate to that there's
some old people like me here okay so the
more you use it the better it's going to
be thumbs up if you understand the slide
okay great thank you you guys are a good
audience deliberate practice this is the
point that you to understand it's not
just practicing it over and over that
you get thing right you have to improve
on that practice again and again right
that was the key to Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan did the basic shots again
and again he never said hey I'm a star
thing I don't need to do it he did the
basic drill again so that's the
important thing remember facts there and
I told like I told I was telling Chris
it's okay to make mistakes because this
is the first time she got it second time
third time do you think her brain will
rewire this
absolutely so Atul what do you think
that is any
idea come
closer what do you think that pictures
it's
hazy it's like uh
the land and some of land y anybody
else that's the map of
London okay I put it hazily deliberately
now the roads go unlike Chicago where
everything is in you know crisscross
that's the kind of you can sit down
that's the kind of roads they have
255,000 streets and 20,000 locations
that they had to memorize and this is
called the knowledge if you want to be a
London taxi driver driver no GPS systems
for you and so I'm going to show you
quickly what video on
that let's see if the sound comes this
time okay let's start
here it's close caption
too let's say you're in London you need
to get from the London Eye to Buckingham
Palace
taxi F Palace please we would leave on
our right Bel Road left chiy streets
wait you know the whole rout already
well you have to all London black cab
drivers have to have completed the
knowledge we need to know all the
streets and loads in London to provide
that service all of them okay let's go
see where the queen
lives London is famous for his black
taxes you need to get to somewhere no
sweat because every black caby has to
pass an insanely hard test known as the
knowledge like this guy hello my name is
Peter Allan I've been a London taxi
driver for 9 years I can
help the knowledge is the test that you
have to pass in order to become a London
taxi driver it's the toughest taxi test
in the world the first thing you have to
do is learn What's called the Blue Book
as a cab driver is your
Bible you have to learn 320 routes
around London so that's 640 quarter of a
mile areas you have to learn 20 5,000
streets and Roads within a 6 mile radius
of jaala square in London you have to
learn every single point of Interest
place of interest apartment building
hous in the state police station MOS
synagogue churches a few moments later
close shop furniture shop Night Club
restaurant everything anywhere where a
pain passenger may want to go okay then
let's go to the exam
Center my name is Katie chennels and I'm
the knowledge of London manager so the
exams are are several phases of oral
appearances it's basically an interview
type situation where you describe the
streets and Roads um attempting to use
the shortest distance between point a
and point B at the beginning we might
ask them the name of the theater where
that theater is and by the end of the
knowledge we expect him to know what is
actually showing at that theater what on
average it takes 2 to 4 years to learn
the knowledge the best way to study is
to go out onto the streets on a scooter
isn't that right abass my name is abass
I've been studying knowledge for about 4
and 1/2 years now my next appearence is
in about 3 weeks time it's like a
full-time job you wake up in the morning
go out and your buy a couple of hours
come to the college study study study
sleep I'm studying as well yeah one in
five who attempt the knowledge actually
pass that's the same success rate as a
US Navy still GPS and snabs are banned
in the exam but why not use them on the
streets my GPS is here and if we get
somewhere and we see a road's closed we
need to stay right that's closed but I
know that if I go left here that will
take me there I go right here that will
take me there we need to be able to do
all that as well as having a
conversation with the person in the back
and solving the world's problems at the
same time Lester Square to Big Ben
please so you leave Lester Square by
Irving Street
turn okay how many of you impressed with
that raise of
hand so the limitation is not ours
the limitation is how much we are
willing to put
in oops it went all the way to the start
here we
go so this is where the brain if you
understand the brain right you're
hacking into the brain if you understand
how memory works it's amazing there's
short-term memory there's long-term
memory so the prefrontal cortex right
right now there's a part of you that
says okay hey let me check for some text
or email but most of you are taking
notes right now guess what that's the
prefrontal
cortext impulse control is the number
one key to good memory control if you
have discipline and for me that means
staying away from ice cream for 30
minutes
works okay prefrontal cortex attention
and anxiety Innovation that's a key
thing amigdala actually fear is a good
thing next time you go into an
examination Hall if you get some amount
of anxiety it's a good thing why because
you get some adrenaline injected in your
system makes your brain sharp and
focused so a little bit of anxiety is a
good thing right hippocampus do you see
those two figures down
there on the right on the right of my
right is the
seahorse and the Greeks saw a part of
the brain that looked like the SE cors
so they called it the hippocampus which
is Greek for
seahorse and that part of the brain
actually Grows by 10 15 20% for the
London cap drivers isn't that amazing
when you work on your cissp exam or
other exams parts of your brain grow
it's hard to believe but it
does that's the other thing how many of
you notice the persons actually took a
scooter and drove in that
taxi great way to know that why because
you know we Homo sapiens right we are
300,000 years old and we came out of
Africa maybe 60,000 years old
agriculture didn't come to our life 10
to 15,000 years ago very recent it's a
very recent so we are still hunters and
gatherers and that means our visual
brains we spend 60 to 70% of our brain
with the visual part why do you think
I'm walked you through that apartment
example because you're likely to
remember that visual example more often
than the actual list of things raise
your hand if you that makes sense to you
okay so the visual brain has location
Association linking and Imagination when
I told Chris about playing basketball
with Michael what was the first thing
that came in imagination Crockery Parts
bling so leverage your imagination and
that's Road learning is boring right if
I came and gave you this lecture saying
you can do all these things you'll get
bored but when you when I involve your
imagination it makes that
difference what about motivation what do
you think about the motivation London
cap drivers earn about £50,000 to
£60,000
a year which is amazing amount of money
for somebody with a high school degree
so do you think they're motivated
absolutely they don't care the odds are
50% they make it but there's motivation
there so now what I'm going to do is I
want you to keep your notebooks away and
I'm going to give you 30 seconds to look
through a
list and this is Scout's Honor so I'm
not going to test you on that okay
everybody ready let me get my clock
here okay start now 30 seconds starting
now I want you to start looking at the
list me izing it however you
can okay
stop now I want I want you to take in
your notebook and write however many
parts you can
remember take a pen whatever you can
remember I'm going to give you 30
seconds to do
that everybody get your notebooks I'm
going ready to press the M Ready set go
30 seconds write whatever you can
remember and Chris I'm you don't need to
do it because you're going to go to the
fun thing you can come here and hold the
mic okay so you're going to share with
me
okay
stop okay I'm going to show you the list
now and now check how many of you you
got right I don't care about the wrong
answers how many of you get
right how many who got all of them okay
you don't need this class you can go
good hold
on your name is uh Corey right oh no
what's your name Cory yep thanks Cory
anybody else how many got five at least
right raise your hands how many got less
than
eight about 5 to 7 is pretty common a
person like Corey is an Outlander
outlier okay good for you so now what
we're going to do
is she's going to quiz me on this okay
so Atul you also watch it with me okay
so I'm going to go through the list uh
zero is baseball one uh baseball one is
baseball bat two is snake or Cobra three
is handcuffs four is flag five is
s-shaped Hook six is elephant trunk
seven is Boomerang eight is hourglass or
egg timer and nine is balloon did I get
that right yeah but I think you made the
list okay I so I made the list right so
now let's go and pick pick a number or
pick an object I'll tell you the
number seven is Boom
rang it is okay you TR give me another
all right how about number five number
five is yep give me what that
snake is
two yeah yeah it is so Chris is right
right I made this list up so I should
know it but would you be impressed if
Chris and Atul learned it okay so now
what I want you to do is Chris and aul
look at that look at that
screen and aul start with zero is
baseball visualize in your
head zero come here come closer zero can
you see zero is baseball yep okay can
you see one is baseball the number one
in baseball yeah sorry baseball B right
okay can we see two and snake yep can we
see three and handcuffs
yeah four and flag flag
yep five in the shape hook
y yep seven
yep eight eight yep okay so now I want
you to close your eyes and try to go
through that list zero is baseball raise
your hand if you can see that thumbs
up okay go to one
back what's
two you can open your eyes and look at
it got it
three
four you're doing it too
5
6
7
8
nine okay good job okay Al can you see
Zero in your mind's eye yep one yep
two uh open your eyes and see it yep
three yes four yep
five see it no y you can see now yep six
yes seven yep 8 yes N9 yep okay now look
at the audience now okay guys shout out
some numbers of and things let's
just uh two's going to be the Cobra very
good snake very
good uh think about
it five okay try another number what's
boom rang boom rang would be seven very
good what would be the hourglass eight
very good what would be five
again look at the screen S S shap curve
s
shaped okay thank you round of
[Music]
applause did you see how quickly they
memorized it Cory what was your method
of doing it honestly
I
started
Round of Applause for
Corey so Cory used a technique called
chaining it's called chaining and the
advantage of this Peg number system is
it's independent right because all of us
already have 0 to One n in our mind
everybody know knows that number in our
head so that's a Peg and then I'm
attaching the images to the peg raise
your hand if you understand that so
chaining is very powerful but pegs are
more powerful okay how are we doing on
time let me check do a quick time check
T oh 9:30 we got time right 9:15 20 more
minutes easy so now we're going to go to
the next step further we're going to
make life miserable more miserable for
Chris and aul right now Imagine by the
way this is the bucket list of funny
bucket bucket list
ideas okay and uh so the first one is so
Chris and Atul come up here again so you
have 1 through 10 in your head now the
pegs are there in your head right it's
kind of right so can you
imagine every time you get a email the
computer comes and hits you with a
baseball bat and you say
meow close your eyes and visualize that
and give me a thumbs up when you can see
that
okay number two is snake and calling
someone to tell them you can't talk to
them right now so can you
imagine there's a phone like the olden
days when they used to have cables on
them and there's a snake and you're
picking up the phone and telling that
person I can't talk to you right now yep
everybody see
that okay three convince someone you are
from is you have you seen Back to the
Future yes many times right so can you
imagine Michael J fox you're putting a
handcuff on him and saying and he's
saying he's from the future and you're
saying I don't believe you Michael J fox
can you can you do that what is his name
in that Mikey what is his
name Marty Marty can you imagine that
Marty saying I'm from the future and he
say I don't believe you I'm putting a
handcuff on you okay so look at that
convince someone you're from the future
that's number
three okay number four is you created a
piece of flag okay number four and you
put it in eBay and people are bidding
10,000 20,000 $30,000 and you're getting
all excited about that can you see that
y create a random piece of art and offer
it in eBay for $110,000 you're thinking
about that got
it okay now you're meeting friends in a
weird costume okay imagine you're naked
and you got a a chain chain jewelry of
all s shape hooks just covering your
body and you're embarrassed can you see
that yeah yeah I can see it okay meet
friends dressed in a weird
costume and you're saying I'm dressed in
this weird costume because Dr Kate told
me to do that can you see that yeah okay
now look at those F List look at those F
items and you can look at the the screen
and tell me when you're comfortable with
that R it your head rest of you do that
same thing too Cory I'm going to ask you
so be ready you're you are a memory
expert now no
pressure okay Atul what's what do you
think is number one uh I was uh working
on the computer and then like uh someone
hit me on the uh like basketball bat
baseball bat and then like U okay you
shouted me off shed me young okay what
do you remember of number two I
slithered out of bed and said that on
the phone I just call somebody and tell
them I don't want to talk to him do you
see that she's making that sentence in
her head round of applause for
her and this is a formal this is a
formal process right thank you go ahead
sit down there thank you this is very
important if you understand use your
imagination you could see look at the
amount of detail she had right she's
getting out of bed and she's telling
somebody I can't talk to you right now
so that's the important
thing now the fourth technique comes
from 2,500 years ago and that's the
Memory Palace and that's the first
technique that I taught you
folks and this comes to us from Greek
times and in those days right they would
invite a poet and the poet would come
and sing poetry right so there's this
guy called Simon
and he came to scopas this famous uh
wealthy uh Greek U uh landlord and so
they were in a mansion they were sitting
in a round table and simes was saying
poetry in In Praise of the host and some
young men came to talk to Simon Ides so
simones walked out of that dining
hall and tragically the whole mansion
floor collapsed and all the people were
killed and they were crushed that you
couldn't identify their
faces but
simones because he was a poet he could
tell the location of each of the person
as they sat so they could recognize who
the victims were and gave a proper
survival okay isn't that a cool story
how many of you think are you going to
remember that people getting crushed
right our brain is geared for that and
that's the idea of Memory Palace now now
Atul and
uh Chris let's do it this one more time
let's see what you remember of those
five things what's the first thing
what's the first thing so there was a
palace it was first one okay no I'm
talking about the five things that we oh
okay five ha feelings identifying your
feelings very good and what happens
who's the first person you meet what
does Mr Rogers say Mr Roger says I'm
amazing and that I am motivated awesome
Round of Applause to her
what number two like uh I'm in a kitchen
playing basketball and uh like a
practice practice is important Round of
Applause to
him okay I'll go to number three number
three is the memory pegs right take
pieces of brain put it in your memory
there and we got the pegs right the nine
pegs my wife and I we drilled 100 pegs 0
to 100 and most memory competitors are
thousand pegs and they're not so hard I
we learned our memory pegs maybe Akila
in two weeks maybe maybe two weeks we'd
go walking and we' quiz each other on
pegs we are a weird couple that's a
different story okay number four is
memory
palace and this is an example of a
Memory Palace the good thing is you
don't have to use this you can use your
house why you're familiar with your
house how many of you are very familiar
with your house guess what put different
things in this speech when I'm giving
you the speech right that's how I did it
I got different parts of my house that
I'm remembering these
sections the last one is what I'm going
to talk about is notes thank you please
go ahead and sit
down I'm making you take notes and many
of you are taking notes some of you
taking pictures okay the good news is if
you send me an email I'll send you a
slide of these decks without any problem
and I'll share a picture which on with
you but make sure these are some great
books that are available but more
important than this are taking notes how
many of you know what mind maps are mind
maps okay great mind maps are amazing
and I tell you the only thing about mind
maps is make sure you put some sketches
I don't care how good you are at
sketching just drawing pictures makes a
big difference you know I was 45 years
old and my sons had a great art teacher
and she said she said Dr K if you want
to be a creat person you had to learn to
draw and I'm like I'm 45 years old and
so I went to a bunch of sixth and
seventh graders for 3 months I went
Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:15 to 4:45 to
practice
drawing and so drawing is an important
skill if you want to improve your memory
why because it's a visual part of the
brain so mind maps is a great thing and
Stony buan just put mind maps Stony buan
and you'll get all kinds of stuff
there okay then the other picture I want
you to do is I didn't talk about
compassion and kindness one of the most
important things we can do is to be kind
to ourselves when we are learning when
we say we are bunch of stupid idiots
guess what your brain is not going to
learn and especially when you're like me
you're getting older you say I'm old I
can't remember it that's no excuse okay
my two mentors are 80 years old and one
of them is a physician and one of them
is a college professor and they study
and learn every day so be kind to
yourself go ahead and take a picture of
that and then I don't know that QR code
will scan it but I think these two will
scan it'll take you to my blog my email
address is there all that stuff how are
we doing in time because I think I have
some time for
questions 20 minutes give okay 40
minutes so thank you for the

front of you keep it in your hand and
I'm going to count from 1 to 10 we're
going to do the breathing exercise real
quick and then we can have time for
questions so let's do the breathing
exercise for 2
minutes okay exhale inhale open your
chest we're going to do this exactly for
2
minutes
so keep your keep your eyes looking
straight ahead you can keep your eyes
open or closed keep your palms
open Relax your
jaw keep your chest erect open your body
up feet flat on the
ground
this is called the 4-6
breathing raise your hands how many if
you're feeling some relaxation already
awesome allow that to grow and there are
two ways of doing it one is find the
tense part and loosen it up or let the
relaxing part
grow
okay so go ahead now put your thumb on

breathing makes the difference so thank
you I'll got the cards to give any
questions let's ask some questions I
must have been so good no questions here

sir no the prefrontal cortext is the key
to good memory it is the one that makes
the decision so if you if you can it's
impulse control if you can control your
impulses then you more likely to you

memory so the fact today you came in and
paid attention right 9:00 you came for
that that means you're highly motivated

this right God bless you so other
questions yes
