In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lori James, a cognitive psychologist whose research explores the intricate relationship between memory, language, and aging. Drawing on decades of scholarship, Dr. James guides us through the fascinating science behind how new memories are formed and why some experiences remain vivid while others fade. Our conversation also explores reframing stress, and how it can act as a powerful tool that sharpens learning and strengthens memory. Finally, we examine the profound influence of language on thought through the lens of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, discussing how the words we use shape not only how we communicate but how we perceive and interpret the world around us.
