Practical ways of improving memory

There was a good chat at Richard Roche's presentation on ageing and cognitive decline about the social cost of encouraging people to keep their memory capacities fresh. A straightforward article in The Psychologist, vol. 19, no. 10, pp. 608-611 (October 2006) outlines some comonsense ideas to boost memory that have been backed up by research. The e-copy can't be accessed through the libarary (there's a 6-month delay), but I have a hard copy if people are interested.
