Tune in to our brand-new health podcast, where leading Health faculty members and researchers dive into the everyday factors that influence how we live, feel, and thrive.

Kicking off the series is Professor Matthew Mundy: cognitive neuroscientist, memory specialist, and Executive Dean of Health and Education at Torrens University Australia. We’ll unravel the mysteries of memory, explore what happens in the brain when information slips away, and ask whether it’s possible to sharpen our ability to remember.

In this episode, we cover:

• The difference between short-term memory and long-term memory
• How language development shapes memory in early life
• Why teenagers and adults experience memory lapses differently
• The role of attention, sensory input and multitasking in memory formation
• How stress, sleep and distraction impact brain function and recall
• Why memories are often inaccurate and how the brain uses shortcuts
• Techniques for improving memory retention through chunking and repetition
• Practical ways to strengthen memory and keep your brain active as you age
