‎Show Huberman Lab, Ep Understand & Improve Memory Using Science-Based Tools - May 16, 2022

A good podcast going over ways to improve memory. 

  1. In general, repetition is the tried and true method to remembering something. 
  2. Timing your stimulant intake to after your repetitive learning session not before. Some studies have shown that caffeine intake after can promote memory retention. 
  3. A sudden adrenalin increase will improve the memory. Sudden cold exposure will do this. 
  4. Cardiovascular exercise has been linked to creation of new brain cells in the hippocampus region, which is the area associated with memory. On a side note, and from a different podcast episode, people who were more active in general had delayed onset of memory issues later on in life (60 years and older) by up to 9 years compared to people who were not active. 
  5. Good quality sleep, and if you able to nap with out issue, taking a nap a few hours after studying can help with memory retention. 

So... For improving memory of your golf swing... Do your golf practice in the morning, and then get a hit of that caffeine and take a cold shower 😛

I was thinking the same thing! Then you follow the shower up with a nap!

I studied this and wrote a thesis on it in college...so by definition I suppose my knowledge is outdated then. And I studied a very limited slice of the subject and was never an "expert" on memory, but anyway...something that has been borne out in experiments for years but you don't hear discussed all that often is that it is a good idea to space out your practice. So two practice sessions (or study sessions) of 30 minutes each is (usually) better than a single, 1-hour session. Varying the context of your practice also enriches recall. So studying in front of the TV for a while, and then while eating dinner, and then again on the bus or subway, etc., the variable context enriches the "encoding." Context also includes the modality of study, so if you're memorizing something for a test, and can record yourself speaking the material (and then listen to it), while also reading it or using flash cards, etc., will enhance learning relative to what you get with one modality only. Emotional states like stress can also enhance recall, as you mentioned. 

My experience in middle age has taught me that you have to stay intellectually active. I do all sorts of puzzles, read at various points of the day...I try to never be intellectually idle unless I'm doing something physical. I started noticing a few years ago that if I have, say, a week or two off work for vacation, it takes me a bit longer to be "sharp" again at work if I've been a couch potato or otherwise vegged for the vacation. 

It helps to have ADD. )

    • Patrick Cantlay standing over the ball at the 2018 PGA Championship haha. Dunno what the story behind this is. But at the 2012 Players, Kevin Na was going through some rough swing thought stuff. This article I linked below says he was fixing early extension at the time while also trying to get used to feeling less weight in heels at address, and tho he hit it better than with his old swing, he had a really tough time with it, even in practice rounds. https://vault.si.com/vault/2016/01/18/kevin-na-fit-be-tied-just-ask-him   Anyway, just a couple high level examples of this.  
    • Yes, but they break every 5-7 years. So… Meh. I'm looking at alternatives. I also don't like how they call it a lifetime warranty… but give you $25 off a product (I was looking to get the Munich if I stuck with MoneyClamps).
    • Day 141 - 2025-02-18 Did work at home. I have a few long days at Golf Evolution so I didn't want to spend a LOT of time there today. 😄 
    • I purchased this one in November of 2018 from Amazon and it has held up incredibly well considering the price point.  Amazon.com But I am also starting to look for a new one now though because it gets annoying whenever I have cash because the bills get folded in half so the thickness increases quickly with just a few bills plus its a major pain when someone hands me change to try and get it back into the wallet in the correct order and folded in half properly especially if I'm carrying bags or items or something else. That part has always bugged me it's just gotten annoying enough lately to where I want something different.    Edit: @iacas are you aware that there's a lifetime warranty on yours? Looks like you could get a new one for like $25
    • Before 2005-ish, I had a leather tri-fold wallet. For about the last 20 years, I've used this: https://moneyclamp.com/collections/core/products/geneva-black-matte-rfid-wallet. Many of you have or had them, too: I gave them out at Newport Cups and some other things, I think. Well, the metal fatigues and they break every 5-7 years or so. I had three from the TST order back nearly 20 years ago, but my last one broke yesterday. In my wallet right now, I have about six credit or debit cards on one side (some personal, some business), things like my PGA card, health insurance card, etc. on the other side, and my driver's license and digital business card (NFC and QR code) in the middle, with anywhere between ten and whatever number of bills this shows (I thinned this out a bit after taking this photo, but admittedly I like paying for things in cash, particularly from small businesses or to tip): I see, like many of you probably do, all those wallet ads on Instagram. Or Kickstarter. There are a lot of options out there. So, for those of you who carry wallets and who still carry some cash… (TBH I'm more likely to drop some credit/debit cards from my wallet and just use them via Apple Pay than I am to not carry more than a few bills of cash) what wallet are y'all using? What's good? I don't think I want one of those "all metal" wallets, but maybe that's just the updated version of what I have now, and maybe that's fine. I've seen the money clip type things that are magnetic, but… I feel like those might only work with about six bills of "thickness." Otherwise, it feels like it'd have to be a strong magnet, and I'm not sure I want a strong magnet on my wallet as I chuck it in my golf bag, a cart, near my phone, by credit cards or hotel door keys… etc. So, again… what do y'all use? Or am I just really old and nobody uses wallets?
