THINK BIGGER

If you want to boost your memory at work, or just improve your useless fact retention for the next pub quiz, stop using your smartphone and order a bigger monitor. New research published in Proceedings of the National

Academy of Sciences has revealed that when it comes to memory, size matters. The researchers found our visual memory of images is affected by the size of the image on the retina, with larger images 1.5 times more likely to be remembered than smaller ones. That may be because large images require your visual system to use more resources in processing them, demanding more attention.
