Recent research suggests that in order to retain new information, a period of wakeful rest after learning the information is optimal. Research published in the recent Psychological Science by psychological scientist Michaela Dewar showed that new information was retained much better when subjects rested after learning the new information, rather than play a computer game. It seems that consolidating memories is a several stage process that requires peace and quiet. While this isn't always possible, you can optimize retention at seminars by walking and relaxing in the breaks rather than play with your phone or pick up e-mails.
