The latest scientific research places memory at the heart of decision-making. Thankfully, there’s a framework backed by brain science for getting people to act on the 10% you want them to remember. In studies like these, roughly 20 percent of people will answer “Zebra” to the last question. Using the Prospective Memory Model.
