  Speaker 1: But apparently, there's a list that's come out from a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: professor called Charon Ranganath. And he's come up with... How
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: did I get through that? He's come up with four
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: mental tricks to help you remember things that you tend
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to forget. Send yourself a little forget-me-not.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this is something that we.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Even in school, we had my very expensive Mercedes just
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: smashed up near Perth. That is how we remembered the
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: order of the planets.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you had a Mercedes in school.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. This is what we were taught.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Who else did you have that? Someone born with a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: silver spoon in their mouth.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: That's what we were taught to remember the planets.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: That's clever. That's clever. One here is make up a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: silly story.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that would be a silly story.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: That would be a silly story. Connecting a silly, outrageous, outlandish.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You owning a Merc in primary school? Yes. That would
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: be pretty outrageous and outlandish. So, yeah, an image to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: remember something you can memorise. So that's a good one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Say it out loud. Yeah. Rap it, Bad Bunny style.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Or sing it like we just heard. A little bit
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of Forget Me Not. You know, you can do that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: as well. I guess you could rap. I don't know
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: how to rap, though. Geez, it would be awkward, wouldn't it?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So instead of a visual snapshot, it's like a little
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: movie that has audio as well.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: That's another way of doing it. Map items in a room.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Map the items in a room?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: What if you lose the map?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You can't remember where you put the map.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Would it be on Google Maps?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they mean, map items in a room.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: When you're trying to memorise a list, try the memory
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: palace method.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: A mnemonic. A mnemonic.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: A mnemonic, the first M is, yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you for saving me. In which you visualise items
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in a familiar area or route. And then when you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: picture that area, you may be able to remember the items.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, when I go to the supermarket and I haven't
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: made a list, as long as there's not too many
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: things that I need to get, I just remember how
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: many items. Like I need six things and I should
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: be able to recall what those six things are because
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I know that I need six things. Of course, the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: problem is what with the Gruen, you know, effect and everything.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I've bought six things that weren't on my list before
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I'm halfway through.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Well, see, I get easily distracted. So I know I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: went in for six things, but they all happen to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: be from the chocolate aisle.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, I know those six things weren't.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And now I know where the golden roughs are.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Cookies and cream ice cream. I know those six things
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: were actually some broccoli.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Dipped in chocolate.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Toilet paper. Yeah, boring things. But anyway.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I always, I always, yeah, if I don't go in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with the written list, I'll always get back to the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: car and go.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty good with just. I didn't get such and such.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And then I go, I can't be buggered.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Six is about my limit. But as long as I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: remember how many things I needed.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, just some little tricks there. Silly stories.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Wrap it. Wrap it. Yo, yo. I need some chocolate.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yo. I need some toilet rolls. I never need a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: reminder that I need chocolate.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: What up? Oh, I need broccoli, of course.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But Mr. Ranganath says, think of memory as a precious resource.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: If you're packing for a trip, you don't need to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: take everything you own. You just take the things, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: pack the things that you think you'll need with you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Memory is packing the experiences that your brain thinks you'll
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: need with you into the future.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And also take some comfort in knowing that the reason
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: why you can't remember things It's because your head is
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: so full of valuable information that you've soaked up. If
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you've got room for things at this age, it's because
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you're a bit of an airhead.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And this is a last little thought to take
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: with you. This is officially from the professor. Forgetfulness is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: also simply a result of having a lifetime of memories.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And the new ones just need to stand out.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So new memories, you've got to step up.
