We’re kicking off Season 7 with a deep dive into learning and memory – this one’s for the nerds out there!

 

We cover:

• Four stages of memory: perceiving, encoding, retaining, and retrieving.
• What can affect perceiving and encoding; the ‘front end’ of memory.
• Different types of memory, including working memory, short term memory, long term memory, and different kinds of long-term memory.
• What can affect our longer-term memory.
• Learning and memory in neurodivergent brains.
• The impact of hormonal changes for women and AFAB folk on memory.
• Tips and strategies for supporting memory.

 

We've had some requests for the study on ADHD, attention, and movement that we mentioned. Here it is (by Rassovsky & Alfassi, 2019). A Google Scholar search will also yield plenty of additional studies around the benefits of movement for ADHDers.
