如今，谷歌常被广泛用于互联网信息检索，因而谷歌常被用作动词。

The reason for this is simple: they aren't encoding or retrieving the information effectively.

他们没有对信息进行有效的编码或检索。

So retrieving information you already know doesn't lend itself toward neuroplasticity, which is in building something called a cognitive reserve.

因此，检索你已经知道的信息不利于神经可塑性，而神经可塑性是建立一种叫做认知储备的东西。

And that involves like testing yourself and practicing retrieving information from your brain because the very act of retrieving information actually strengthens connections in the brain and there's like a load of evidence behind this.

这包括测试你自己，练习从大脑中检索信息，因为检索信息的行为实际上加强了大脑中的联系，这背后有大量的证据支撑。

Yes, as we get older we can often have more difficulty retrieving information from our memory and people with Alzheimer's find it very difficult to encode information, so any way to keep our memory working is a good thing.

是的，随着年龄增长，我们从记忆中检索信息常常会变得更加困难。而且阿尔茨海默患者发现很难对信息进行编码，因此，能保持我们记忆力的任何方法都是好的。
