Once I were young I am a clever, rapid memorize and easy retain. At present, I found that my memory is slow down. I can't remember something I just did. It's very hard to remember the name of new friends. What should I do to improve my memorization? I have a problem with memorization.

My concern is that, I would like to know what can I do in order to retain more information without getting distracted, Im a student and I would like to find a new strategy on how to focus on what Im studying and how would I retain that information for the exams. I also thought that anxiety has something to do by preventing me from concerntrating on what Im studying and during the exam I kind of forget some of what I studied. Im in college and Im going for nursing. I would like to improve to my memory skills in to become better with my focusing,memory,concentration,and how to obtaining better understading on what should I focus primarily when studying? Thank you, I appreciate. Hi Dr. Green

My memory is not as it used to be. Nowadays , I forget a lot even if I am told to do some task just before going out by the time I have done other things I have forgotten what it was I was to get. I would surely like to improve my recall ability and improve memory. Can you please help. I was advised by by my doctor about this site. I started yesterday and find it extremely good. It has shown me in the first few times I played it that I rarely remember the object placement. Thanking you in anticipation. Morris Powell I am a 76 year old man. My memory is not as it used to be.

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:22:49 +0000 http://blog.lumosity.com/brain_health/02/may-i-have-your-attention-please/#comment-249 Hello Dr. Green, I have a question that I suppose would come from the opposite end of the spectrum as it were. I'm a 37 years old and happened to find Lumosity through a link provided by a fellow member of a high IQ society that I belong to. I found that I liked what Lumosity offered and became a subscriber. After playing many times and for several months I have found that I literally have topped out many of the scores and levels on several of them. To give an indication my current Lumosity overall BPI is 1502. With that in mind, is it possible to over train one's brain like say a body builder may over extend his/her muslces? Or would that mental over extention manifest itself in some other fashion like say an increase in frustration? Thank you for you time Dr. Green. Hello Dr. Green,

I have difficulty concentrating at work before the darkness comes. I hope there is a cure for that because I desparately need it. I normally check emails and answer them one by one. Then getting into online materials that interest me (by the way, that is how I found this site!) Not bad, ah? I love to surf around, at the end, I come back to work until the early morning hours. I get by this way. My friend says that I do not want to change this pattern because I think it is good subconsciously... Do you have any information to help me? I think I have some phobia related to the beginning of work. I go around and avoid them until I feel safe to get in... Is that common? thank you in advance yinghongchen@hotmail.com Dear Dr. Green,
