Memory is one of the most crucial functions of the brain. It allows us to store and remember information. Unfortunately, our memory is not perfect: we often forget things we’ve learned in the past. This is due to the forgetting curve, a natural process that our brain uses to make room for urgent matters and prevent overload. In most cases, it’s not a big deal, as you don’t need to know everything at all times. However, there are situations where it’s crucial to have knowledge readily available. Think of time-critical tasks in the workplace where mistakes can have severe consequences. For these situations, we need to ensure that we overcome the forgetting curve. In this blog, we explain how to achieve this.
When we learn something new and experience a sense of accomplishment, our brains release a neurotransmitter called dopamine. This chemical is associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward.
