Johns Hopkins University researchers found that where and when you see an object affects whether you remember it.
Go ahead! See for yourself.
Try to remember the following objects. (You'll see each one twice.)
OK, let's test your memory?
Which objects did you see?
How did you do?
Did you notice that some objects popped out twice from behind the same column (like this) while others popped out from behind both columns (like this?)
Researchers discovered that how an object moves affects how well you remember it.
You're more likely to recognize an object you've seen twice moving in the same path.
Your brain seems to create the strongest memories when you see how an object's appearance changes as it moves through space and time.
