Table 1 Why do I forget? Research indicates several common reasons
Distraction interrupts memory processing Sensory losses—vision and hearing deficits create information intake problems Fatigue decreases attention span Medication may slow mental functioning Emotion factors (especially anxiety and depression) can interfere with memory Viewing things as not important reduces motivation to remember Having a lot to remember creates an overload and concern about our ability to remember Table 2 Helpful hints for remembering things
Write things down (use lists, schedules, etc.) Put frequently used things in the same place each time Repeat information that you need to remember over and over again Rely on placement to trigger your memory (for example, leaving an umbrella on the doorknob) Review photo albums or yearbooks when you expect to see people after a long absence
