The researchers concluded that outgoing information was less associated with its environmental context (背景)—that is,the person—than was incoming information.
This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information, even little facts, will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said. Because our attention is limited,we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.
After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that selffocus is another factor that undermines destination memory.
They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information.
“When you start telling these personal facts compared with nonself facts, suddenly destination memory goes down more, suggesting that it is the selffocus component (成分) that's reducing the memory.”Gopie told Live Science.

A. give advice on how to improve memory

C. explain why we repeat stories to those we've already told them to
