Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam Walking backward might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory.
Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, they were divided into three groups. One group was told to walk 10-meters toward. The second group walked 10 metres backward. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.
The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct than the other two groups.
This suggests that the link between the concepts (概念) of time and space is important.in terms of how our minds form memories. When you walk backward, you see things from different angles(角度). This difference helps people recall things that took place in the past.
