A member asked:

Very poor memory retention , what can i do to improve it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brain games: Do games that stretch your memory and related cognitive skills including verbal fluency. Try crossword puzzles, speeded trivia games or play the memory game with your kids. Keep working out your brain just like your body and your memory will improve.
