• 00:00 🧠 Memory struggles: Despite appearances, the speaker has a poor memory and faced difficulties recalling names, details, and medical information.
• 01:23 🧪 Active forgetting: Forgetting isn't passive; it's an active process with neurotransmitters and pathways. Understanding what encourages forgetting is crucial for memory improvement.
• 02:18 🔗 Cue-based memory: Memories are linked to cues and tags. Overloaded cues can lead to forgetting due to interference. Novelty and unique cues aid recall.
• 04:09 🔀 Horizontal memory: Learning horizontally (connecting related information) is better than vertical (list-based) memorization. It helps create conceptual memory and aids recall.
• 05:49🕰️ Time and forgetting: Over time, new learning can override previous knowledge (proactive inhibition). Strategic revising and relating similar topics can mitigate this effect.
• 07:25 💡 Mental state and memory: Confidence, mood, and mental health significantly impact memory and performance. Positive self-perception boosts memory and learning outcomes.
• 08:47 💬 Therapy's role: Therapy, like BetterHelp, can address mental health issues that affect memory, learning, and overall well-being.
• 11:08 ➡️ Horizontal learning technique: Learn topics horizontally, connecting related information in a logical structure. This helps create strong associations and enhances recall.
• 13:55 🎹 Intuition and expertise: Experts memorize better due to intuition and context. Building intuition and familiarity with subjects aids memory retention.
• 16:01 📆 Visual mnemonics: Visualize information in a meaningful way to enhance memory, such as creating visual timelines for historical events.
• 17:12 🧪 Empowering narratives: The story we tell ourselves affects our performance. Overcoming challenges becomes easier when we perceive them positively and seek growth.

Studies show that a single bout of exercise confers cognitive benefits. However, many individuals use psychoactive substances such as caffeine to enhance cognitive performance. The effects of acute exercise in comparison to caffeine on cognition remain unknown. Furthermore, caffeine use is associated with withdrawal symptoms upon cessation. Whether acute exercise can reduce withdrawal symptoms also remains unknown. The objectives of this study were to compare the effects of acute moderate intensity aerobic exercise to caffeine on working memory (WM) and caffeine withdrawal symptoms (CWS). In Phase I, non-caffeine (n = 29) and caffeine consumers (n = 30) completed a WM assessment, followed by acute exercise and caffeine. In Phase II, caffeine consumers (n = 25) from Phase I underwent the WM assessment and reported CWS following a 12-hour deprivation period. Acute moderate intensity aerobic exercise and caffeine (1.2 mg/kg) significantly improved WM accuracy and reduced CWS comparably. WM performance was not reduced following caffeine deprivation.

Big take aways: Dual channel gave significantly higher frame rate than single channel. And going from 8 to 16 gigs did not improve the frame rate very much--Wow!

I like the theory..."more research needed" #WTH
