Never forget where you left your keys! Scientist reveals memory trick
Briefly

According to Professor Jon Simons, actively trying to remember something often blocks the memory from retrieval, while relaxation can facilitate access to those memories.
Professor Simons describes a common experience where after struggling to remember, the memory suddenly comes to mind when one thinks about something else or relaxes.
The sensation of knowing a memory is there, yet unable to access it—a phenomenon known as 'tip of the tongue'—is something we frequently experience.
Professor Simons highlights that when our effort to recall a memory subsides and we are calm or distracted, retrieval often occurs unexpectedly.
