Video: Stress and Memory

The folks over at TedEd have posted an excellent video exploring the relationship between stress and memory.

The video lasts only a few minutes, but it includes lots of helpful information.

In particular, note that we can’t simply say “stress harms memory.” We always have to be more specific:

What kind of memory?

When does the stress take place?

What do we want our students to remember?

All these variables matter.
