Memory trainer Annemarie Frick-Salzmann explains how our memory works and which brain regions are relevant for different memory systems. She answers frequently asked questions such as: "How much can we rely on our memories? What can be the causes of false memories? Why do forgetting and memory lapses also have positive aspects?" She convincingly debunks the stereotype of forgetfulness in aging individuals. The author provides the reader with tips for learning and information based on selected texts about brain regions and functional systems. She presents complex issues in a simple and understandable way, demonstrating that thanks to the plasticity of our brain, we can adapt to new situations and continue learning well into old age.
