| summary | Memory skills differ considerably across the general population – from age-related memory loss to the outstanding feats of memory champions. Memory research focuses largely on normal or impaired memory, whereas little is known about the cognitive and neurobiological basis of exceptional memory skills. I will present insights from a series of studies on the world’s leading memory champions, and naïve subjects undergoing mnemonic training. Our studies suggest that the outstanding skills of memory champions rely on mnemonic strategies that allow for more efficient neural coding, and a direct access to long-term memory structures also during classical working memory tasks. Moreover, training in these strategies drives regional brain activation and network connectivity also in normal individuals towards the neural patterns observed in memory champions. |
