MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, and I am a psychiatry trainee in the UK. I created MRCPsych on the Go to make revision for the MRCPsych exams easier to fit around busy clinical work.
This podcast is designed for psychiatry trainees preparing for Paper A, B, CASC but also, medical students. Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics and explains them in clear, structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Topics range from psychopathology, psychopharmacology, neuroscience, sociology, behavioral science, psychological therapies to clinical assessment. Episodes include exam style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall and exam preparation.
The aim is to provide focused, high yield psychiatry revision you can listen to during commutes, walks or between shifts.

MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
10. High-Yield Memory Systems: Encoding, Storage and Retrieval Explained
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Memory is not like a hard drive. It is a reconstructive process that is far more complex, and far more fascinating, than simply saving and replaying information.
In this episode, we explore how memory works in psychology and neuroscience. We cover encoding, storage and retrieval, the role of chunking in improving memory performance, and the key memory models that explain how information is processed and stored in the brain. These concepts are clinically relevant to memory disorders in psychiatry.
Ideal for MRCPsych Part A revision, psychology students and anyone who has ever wondered how memory actually works. Aligned with the Royal College of Psychiatrists MRCPsych Part A syllabus, paragraph 1.1.4.
