Hi Everyone!
Scientific American has an article "Why Is Memory So Good and So Bad" by Julian De Freitas. In this article it explains some recent research including a review in which Harvard and MIT researchers reinforces past conclusions that hving "meaning" is what enhances memories. If you recall Herman Ebbinghaus' research also concluded this. So try to connect or "hook" the new information you are trying to remember to your pre-existing stored memories.
