Mental Models: Use Chunking to Conquer Memory Limitations: #44

Mental Models Podcast It's not a brain in a jar, that's the gist!

In this episode we consider how our memory systems are organized and what we can do to help become better at remembering in a variety of areas of our lives. We consider memory from a multiple memory systems approach focusing on working memory- our short-term store. Working memory has a clear limit and we can use a “chunking” strategy to group items together allowing us to remember more. We discuss the extreme versions of this tactic described by expertise researcher K. Anders Ericsson and his book “Peak” https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise/dp/1531864880 We also discuss how you can employ tips to maximize your memory performance in the context of work and investing. We touch on a variety of other factors that may also impact your working memory. - BUY “Understanding Behavioral BIA$” http://amzn.to/2XHtsOE This book will help you overcome the biases that are keeping you from investment success!
