It’s never a good idea to hit someone on the head as a cure for any type of concussion or brain injury.

Yet surveys of the public find that around 40% believe that a second blow to the head can help someone recover forgotten memories.

And this myth goes way back in popular culture.

Perhaps it has to do with the observation that (if you’re lucky) hitting an appliance (like a TV or a radio) a second time may temporarily make it work once again. More recently I’ve heard it said about hard drives.
