Riassunto

What if your child discovered that their memory is much more than just a drawer full of memories? I know all about memory invites young readers ages 12 to 17 to explore one of the most fascinating powers of the human brain: learning, retaining, forgetting, retrieving, remembering, and passing on information. Through clear, lively, and accessible language, this book transforms a complex scientific topic into a captivating adventure, full of concrete examples and easy-to-understand explanations.

Have you ever wondered:

• How does the brain create a memory?
• Why do we sometimes forget information that’s actually important?
• What role does the hippocampus play in memory?
• Why does sleep help us remember better?
• How do emotions make certain memories stronger?
• Why isn’t memory a perfect camera?
• How can we learn more effectively without simply rereading our lessons?
• What are false memories?
• How do memory champions retain so much information?
• Do animals and plants also have some form of memory?
• Why are writing, libraries, and the Internet considered the memories of humanity?

Why choose this book for your child:

• An essential topic for better learning: this book helps teens understand how their memory works—a valuable asset for school, studying, presentations, and everyday life.
