How Old is Your Brain?
Why is it that some memories stay with us for life, while others disappear within seconds? Why are some people brilliant at general knowledge quizzes but terrible at remembering birthdays? Our memory is complex, and our brain stores only some of the information it receives. Are your brain’s reflexes as sharp as a knife? Our cognitive abilities peak in our twenties, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that we lose our brain capacity as we age. In fact, with brain training exercises, our memory and concentration are said to improve! Find out what your brain’s actual age is with this fun and interactive quiz!
Writing something down by hand can help you form a more solid memory of something, possibly because the brain must rethink and frame the information. Try getting a good night’s sleep too because it’s vital for consolidating memories.
