Memory formation is often prevented when one event follows too soon after an initial learning event. It is also true that memory of initial learning events can be blocked if you try to learn two things at once

One of the followers of this blog called my attention to a useful web site that has a list of 100 things you can do to facilitate memory. Several items deal with remembering names, and others with remembering numbers and lists. Much of this information is also in my book.

Interesting video discussing a connection between a disorder ( Parkinson’s ) clearly linked to problems with the brain clock (esp. dopamine and the basal ganglia ) and music/rhythm perception .

Brain clock, Parkinson’s and music
In IAP Research Report # 9 (B rain rhythm treatment efficacy: Can we fine-tune our brain clocks ), it was concluded (after reviewing 23 studies) that “rhythm-based mental-timing treatments have merit for clinical use and warrant increased clinical use and research attention.” Additionally, it was concluded that: Positive treatment outcomes were reported for four forms of rhythm-based treatment . Positive outcomes were also observed for normal subjects and, more importantly, across a variety of clinical disorders (e.g., aphasia, apraxia, coordination/movement disorders, TBI, CP, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/CVA, Down’s syndrome, ADHD) Most rhythm-based brain-based interventions (the RAS, AOS-RRT and SMT treatment studies) all employed some form of auditory-based metronome to pace or cue the subjects targeted rhythmic behavior. External metronome-based rhythm tools (tapping to a beat, metronome-based rhythmic pacing, rhythmic-cuing via timed pulses/beats) is a central tool to improving temporal processing and mental-timing.
