Summary

Memory is highly trainable, functioning like a muscle that grows stronger with use. Research indicates there is no fixed good or bad memory, only trained and untrained ones, and people of all ages can improve their capacity through techniques, games, and learning new skills.

Yes, memory is very trainable 1. Research shows that there is no such thing as a fixed good or bad memory, but rather a trained memory and an untrained memory 1.

Experts suggest that memory functions like a muscle that gets stronger the more it is used and trained 1 2. People of all ages can train and expand their working memory capacity by using practical techniques, playing simple memory games, and learning new skills 3.

Insight

Treat memory as a verb, not a fixed trait: implement a daily, practical routine that trains it, so you're actively shaping a 'trained memory' rather than waiting for it to improve on its own.
