Cognitive science identifies six habits to boost memory: forming connections using mnemonics, per Journal of Experimental ...

These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.

Several studies have indicated that forgotten memories may not be as irretrievable as once thought. Memory appears to be closely tied to the context in which it was encoded. Consequently ...

The encoding techniques enable participants to organise pertinent aspects like person, place, time and object, and establish connections between these concepts, enhancing learning and memory.

But then, as a result, when the remembered memory is re-encoded, it will be encoded as more negative than before. To put it very simply, complaining makes your memories (even) more negative.

Find out all you need to know about memories, including how memories form, how they work, why they form, and more.
