S3 EP5: When Does a Memory Become Conscious? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How does a memory become part of our conscious experience? In this episode, we explore cutting-edge research investigating what happens in the brain whenmemories come to mind. We discuss why memory retrieval may involve more than one stage, what brain activity can tell us about conscious awareness, and how this work could help improve future treatments for memory disorders. We are joined by University of Nottingham researcher Dr Ben Griffiths . Here are some of the resources discussed in the epi
S3 EP4: Can We Keep Our Brains Healthy as We Age? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can we support memory as we age? In this episode, we explore how researchers are using cutting-edge brain stimulation and imaging techniques to better understand how memory changes across the lifespan. We discuss the science behind healthy cognitive ageing, why people respond differently to brain stimulation, and how personalised approaches could one day help maintain memory and brain health. We are joined by University of Nottingham researchers, Dr JeYoung Jung and Izzy Ellis. Here are some of
S3 EP3: Is More Brain Activity Always Better for Memory? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to the brain, more activity isn't always better. In this episode, we explore why healthy memory depends on a careful balance between brain activity and inhibition, and how this research could help us better understand memory problems associated with conditions such as schizophrenia and age-related cognitive decline. We are joined by University of Nottingham researchers, Dr Tobias Bast , Dr Charlie Taylor and Jacob Juty . Here are some of the resources discussed in the episode: Have
S3 EP2: Why Getting Older Doesn't Mean Forgetting More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What really happens to our memory as we get older? Although ageing is often associated with memory decline, the story is much more positive - and more surprising - than many people realise. In this episode, we explore how our brains combine information from different senses, why older adults can remember important health information just as well as younger adults, and what this tells us about healthy ageing. We are joined by Prof Harriet Allen , Professor of Lifespan Psychology at the University
S3 EP1: Can You Train a Child's Cognition? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can educational apps really help children learn, or are they simply another form of screen time? In this episode, we explore the science of digital learning, cognitive training, and the home learning environment. We discuss what researchers have discovered about using apps to support children's literacy, numeracy, memory, and attention, and why parents may need better tools to identify genuinely educational digital content. We are joined by University of Nottingham researcher Dr Efsun Birtwistle
