Those people who have a “lame” memory can take advantage a simple trick recommended by American scientists from Montclair University. Researchers say compression right fist helps remember a long list of words. A compression left helps to extract information recorded in short-term human memory. According to scientists, these simple movements stimulate the area of the brain that is responsible for storing and extracting memories. 51 volunteer group human, offered to remember a list of 72 words, and then try to reproduce them. But before you start memorizing, the participants squeezed strongly into fist a small rubber ball. Similar actions they repeated before recalling the information they memorized. At this all subjects were divided into five groups – the first group clenched her right fist before memorizing words and before retrieving them from memory; the second – clenched the left fist in both cases, the third a group of people – clenched the right fist before memorization and the left – before the memory, and the fourth – on the contrary. Control group simply held the ball in her hand. as it turned out, the best results showed volunteers clenching their right fist while memorizing and left when remembering the word. They managed to remember almost all information provided on the screen. It turned out to be a little worse memorization by a volunteer, clenching only his right hand into a fist. The rest showed very poor memory.
