Whether it's losing your keys or trying to cram information into your head for an exam, sometimes we just need our brain to be less forgetful.
3
So, using science, how can you improve your memory right now?
4
First things first, you should hit the gym.
5
But sorry meatheads, you can't skip cardio.
6
MRI studies show that regular aerobic exercise, like running, improves performance on memory tasks by increasing the blood flow and volume in parts of the hippocampus.
7
This is important as the hippocampus is a part of the brain
8
that is critical for learning and memory
9
But it shrinks by 1 to 2 percent per year in late adulthood
10
So aerobic exercise can be a great way to fight age-related declines of our memory After the gym
11
and pre-studying grab a good snack
12
After a meal the increased glucose and insulin has shown to promote the learning of new information
13
Glucose and insulin are also key to consolidation the conversion of short-term to long-term memories
14
probably because the hippocampus we talked about earlier is enriched with insulin receptors.
15
We said a good snap, but maybe try blueberries, as studies show participants given a blueberry supplement had a better ability to recall past events.
16
Blueberries contain flavonoids that have been shown to protect neurons, enhance their function, and stimulate their regeneration.
17
Make sure that you're keeping up with the group chat!
18
Scientists link high-quality personal relationships to better memory.
19
A 2017 study found that adults aged 80
20
and up who reported more satisfying relationships in their old age had similar cognitive abilities to people in their 50s and 60s.
21
Other research shows hanging out with people can protect against memory declines common in dementia.
22
Scientists think that our friends create social pressure that makes us take care of ourselves, and they even do things as simple as tell you directly or indirectly to go visit a doctor.
23
Social interactions also present complex cognitive memory challenges that can stimulate your brain.
24
Thank you friends!
25
Hug your friends today because they're increasing your memory.
26
If you really want to be super extra about all of this, you could also try to become a memory champion.
27
These are people who can, for example, memorize the order of a deck of cards in 30 seconds.
28
Superior memory skills aren't because of anatomical differences, which means you could accomplish some of these same memory feats with intense practice.
29
One study found that after six weeks of daily 30-minute training, normal people exhibited similar levels of neural connectivity as these memory athletes.
30
When given a list of 72 words, they went from being able to recall 26 to 30 to remembering over 60 words.
31
A little stressed about memorizing a presentation for tomorrow?
32
Not to worry, as research suggests an optimal level of anxiety can help us remember details.
33
During stressful events, hormones like cortisol act on the brain to promote the formation of long-term memories,
34
probably so that we can better process stressful situations and change our behaviors accordingly.
35
But it doesn't mean that in these stressful times we are going to become way better at memorizing things, as too much stress has been shown to impair memory.
36
So it is about finding the right balance between not panicking and panicking just enough to sharpen your mind.
37
For the most part, we are overly stressed, which leads to us forgetting our passwords.
38
Thankfully, there is LastPass.
39
LastPass also helps relieve the anxiety
40
and stress of remembering all of your different passwords for all the different platforms by storing them all in one safe place.
41
You can store an unlimited amount of passwords.
42
It even helps you to generate stronger passwords and, most importantly, update your passwords, which is something that we should all be doing.
43
You can use it on many devices like your laptop or even on your fancy phone using an app.
44
It even has a password breach alert to help keep you safe.
45
Essentially, with LastPass, you never have to write, remember, or reset your passwords.
46
Thanks again to LastPass, and we will see you all next week for another science video.
47
See you later.

推薦影片
為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?
在現代英語學習過程中,通過實際的聽說練習提升口語能力是至關重要的。觀看這個影片時,你不僅能聽到自然的口語表達,還能通過模仿來強化記憶和理解。影片中講述了許多有趣的記憶技巧,例如運動、飲食和社交,這些內容為我們的交流提供了豐富的背景知識。運用這些資訊進行英語影子跟讀,能夠幫助你在真實生活中自信地表達自己,提升與他人的互動能力。
語法和表達在語境中的應用
在這個影片中,講者使用了幾種重要的語法結構和表達方式:
- “Scientists link...” —— 這裡使用了簡單的現在時,適合用來描述普遍真理和科學發現。
- “Make sure that you're keeping up...” —— 這是一個強調現進行為的結構,適合在討論保持關係或日常習慣時使用。
- “If you really want to...” —— 條件句的使用,使交流更加靈活,適合激勵學習者勇於挑戰自我。
通過重複這些結構並運用到自己的口語中,你會更加熟練地表達複雜的思想,特別是在雅思口語練習中非常有幫助。
常見的發音陷阱
觀看影片時,你可能會注意到一些發音較難的單詞或短語。以下是幾個需要特別注意的:
- “aerobic exercise” —— 確保區分音節,重音在“aero-”上。
- “glucose” —— 注意發“glu”的音,避免發得過於模糊。
- “memory champion” —— 含有兩個重音詞,使發音顯得更具挑戰性。
通過不斷練習這些發音,你將提高自己的發音準確度,能夠更流利地進行看YouTube學英語,並享受提升過程中帶來的樂趣。在與朋友交流時,也能獲得更好的互動體驗。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | is sponsored · is enriched · have been shown |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | has shown · have been shown · has been shown |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who can · differences, which means · passwords, which is |
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
