When we are at the office, discussing with Bibi or in a lecture, it is hard to imagine repeating aloud all the important information that we hear to remember them. And yet, according to a study by researchers at the University of Waterloo and published in the journal Memory , speaking a text (rather than reading it in your head) helps to remember what you learn, and that, in the long term.
