WEB MD JULY /AUGUST 2013 issue Chris Rock Cover Total Recall Can’t remember what’s on your shopping list? Help knock out poor memory with your fists. Making a fist with your right hand increases activity on the left side of your brain, and making a fist with your left increases activity on the right. In an experiment, people who clenched their right fists for 90 seconds before memorizing a list of 36 words (a left-hemisphere task), then clenched their left fists before recalling the words (which happens in the right hemisphere), remembered more words than those who clenched in a different order or not at all.
