Top tips for unlocking memory
Tuesday, 10 January 2012

Want to sharpen your memory or make better creative use of it? Psychologist Charles Fernyhough has been answering readers' questions and sharing advice
You can also take part in our nationwide online memory test which is part of the Guardian/Observer's Memory Week, by clicking on guardian.co.uk/memorystudy

Do you wish you could sharpen your memory? Are you frankly terrified at the report last week, showing mental acuity can start to deteriorate from the age of 45?

Then get your brain in gear as psychologist and memory expert Charles Fernyhough, has been live online today answering readers' questions and sharing his advice. Fernyhough is an academic psychologist at Durham University who specialises in memory and in particular its links to creativity. He has written extensively on the creativity of memory for the first of two free guides, available this weekend.

The free 'Making the Most of your Memory' 24-page booklets, are available with the Guardian this Saturday 14 January and the Observer on Sunday 15 January. They explore memory and how to sharpen it, ask how reliable our autobiographical memories are, and how the stories of ourselves are shaped by those around us. We dispel some common myths surrounding memory and look at ways in which we can maximise our memory function from Cambridge neuroscientist Dr Jon Simons.

Do you want to be more creative? Or less forgetful? Have you noticed your memory skills getting worse, and have you tried any methods of improving them? We'd like to hear your comments and questions for our expert in the section below ...
