Pay Undivided Attention

[pioneer]

    We all multitask, a necessary survival skill of the digital age. But did you know that just listening to the news while browsing the Web can limit how well you’re able to recall both? Normally, when you take in new information, you process it with a part of the brain called the cerebral cortex. But multitasking greatly reduces learning because people can’t attend to the relevant information. That’s because the brain is forced to switch processing to an area called the striatum, and the information stored here tends to contain fewer important details.

    Luckily, this kind of memory problem has an easy fix: Simply pay undivided attention to whatever you really want to recall later.
