Compensatory Strategies for Working with Memory on Recovery Now

Dr Maria is back in the house! The term memory storage refers to the work of the system that stores information for use later on—your system for long-term learning and recall. Material from working memory is put into storage by this system. There are many sub-systems for storing different kinds of information. After an injury, memory usually makes weaker traces, making the stored information unreliable. Important information should always be saved in a more permanent medium such as taking notes. Holding out hope to get your pre-injury memory storage back leads to disappointment rather than recovery. The key to memory recovery is metamemory—knowledge of your own memory abilities and deficits. Metamemory lets you plan out ways to cope with your memory deficits. - Dr. Larry Schutz Information & free downloads at givebackla.com or givebackorlando.org Recovery Now show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms.
