"Enhancing Learning and Memory Through Exercise"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News

A study involving 67 young men found that exercising both before and after learning motor skills optimizes memory formation, leading to a 10% improvement in remembering motor skills. The research is significant for various fields, from rehabilitation to skill training, demonstrating that incorporating physical activity can enhance learning effectiveness and memory retention. The study suggests that acute exercise can promote the stabilization and long-term retention of motor skills, with the greatest improvements observed when exercise is performed both before and after practice.

The Role of Memory in Learning and Memory Retention.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News

Short-term motor memories, lasting less than a minute, are more important for relearning movements than long-term ones, according to a new study by Harvard researchers. The study challenges conventional thinking on the role of short and long-term memories in relearning motor skills, indicating the existence of mechanisms for regulating the learning rates for memories that are distinct from the memories themselves. Understanding short-term motor memories is crucial, as they could be just as vital as long-term ones for executing actions effectively.
