As it turns out, your memory operates similar to a Camcorder. if you don't turn on the record button then it doesn't matter where you point the lens, you won't have a record of what you saw. When it comes to your memory, attending to a conversation or lecture is not enough to positively impact your recall. You need to 'turn on' your memory prior to engaging. In essence, knowing that you will want to remember something, prior to experiencing it, significantly improves your memory and recall of that information. So next time you are listenign to something you feel could be important... make sure you push that mental 'record' button first!
