Appliances and car lights turn themselves off, smartphones and computers remind us of appointments, and Google lets us search for the information that we can't remember. Still, we grow frustrated and anxious when words won't come, when we misplace items, or when we forget meetings, birthdays, names. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversity of Michigan social workers Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern have completely updated their friendly and usable guide to memory improvement techniques. Recognizing that people worry something is wrong with them when they forget things, Fogler and Stern suggest that the antidote to worry is taking positive actions to help us remember what we want to remember. They provide readers with tools for understanding and improving memory, including sixteen helpful exercises. Simple techniques like writing information down, creating a catch word or phrase, altering something in your environment, and reviewing details in advance can put you actively in charge of retrieving information more easily. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs in previous editions, \u003ci\u003eImproving Your Memory\u003c\/i\u003e reinforces memory techniques through real-life examples. This accessible handbook also discusses how memory works; how it changes with age, stress, illness, and depression; and why people remember what they do. Many readers will see immediate improvement in their memory after reading the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Fogler, Lynn Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1421415704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781421415703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.55h x 6.12w x 0.43d","brand":"Janet Fogler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991976509695,"sku":"9781421415703","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89d566b7-56ce-438a-9143-e85cdd3df9d6.jpg?v=1683313327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/improving-your-memory-janet-fogler-9781421415703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
