What smell brings back a powerful memory for you?
🧠 Fun Fact: Smells are powerful memory triggers! Your nose connects to the brain’s olfactory bulb, which is linked to the hippocampus, the memory center. This is why certain scents can bring back vivid memories. #MemoryFacts #BrainHealth #DementiaLeague #Neuroscience Follow us and share!
Scientists found that divers given word lists to learn on land remember them better on land, but if they learned the words underwater, they remember them better underwater!
This is called context dependent recall.

Another favorite #memoryfacts (b/c I'm a lefty): People who are left- or mixed-handed tend to be better at remembering than people with a strong right-hand preference. This may be a consequence of more interaction between the two brain hemispheres. https://t.co/ZbXTklLlBz
One of my favorite #memoryfacts: While we forget most of our early childhood ('childhood amnesia'), we tend to over-remember things that happened to us ages ~16-25. It's called the 'reminiscence bump' and it's robust across studies and cultures. https://t.co/lnI895xX5C
#memoryfacts: Scents trigger older and more powerful memories than photos. This may follow from more direct brain circuitry and consequently, olfactory centers that are more strongly (functionally) connected to the hippocampus than visual ones. https://t.co/NEyccJ7qn3
#memoryfacts. The longer we look at something, the better we remember it (up to a few seconds). In a classic paper, researchers found only 10% remembering for pictures viewed for 125 ms and this grew to 80% when pictures were viewed for 1s. https://t.co/bB1ZbBvtOf
Thanks for a fun day 2! You guys are great. I'm looking forward to returning tomorrow, when I'll pick up on the issues that came up today. In the meantime, I'll schedule a few #memoryfacts to hit our friends in Asia/Australia (and New Zealand) while the rest of us are asleep.
Eye witness accounts: #memoryfacts. In a lineup, intuitively it seems best to pick faces that are very similar. But memory models predict that w/in the set that matches the perpetrator description, they should selected to be distinct. And it's true!

Returning to #memoryfacts! Memory can dramatically impact what we see, as illustrated in this famous picture. It might take a few moments to see the Dalmatian in this image, but once seen, you will probably never unsee it again. Researchers don't know how this works.
Jamais vu #memoryfacts. Jamais vu is the opposite of déjà vu; it means finding something unfamiliar that we know is familiar. e.g. After writing the same word over and over again, it starts to seem peculiar. Does it work for you? https://t.co/tn2yeCyPzS
Recognizing faces #memoryfacts: Some people are unable to recognize faces. Other people are exceptional. You can take a free test from by academic researchers to tell you were you are. (I'm average). You? Test: https://t.co/QRCFNc003B. Paper: https://t.co/tXSds1f6pU
'Photographic memory' #memoryfacts: Individuals with Highly Superior Autobiographical memory can remember what happened a decade ago better than most people can remember a month ago. However, they are just as prone to false memories as the rest of us.

Throughout the week, I'll be sharing #memoryfacts with links to learn more. First up: memory for scents. As we all know, both scents and photos can trigger memories. But less known is that scents tend to trigger older memories, often from childhood. More: https://t.co/JrHwlJdm7R
