Summary: The Mystery of Memory


Many things, like numbers, names are recalled for a few seconds. Information which is not lost goes to long – term memory where lasts very long time, almost for ever.

To remember something people must recover things from long – term memory to “working memory” which is declarative and procedural. Procedural memory is more stable than declarative. Many people have eidetic (photographic) memory. This memory they have from childhood. Children to age 8 remember things by photographic memory.It is the best way to remember things and this ability decreases when person grows older.

The human brain contains billions of cells and up to 100 000 connections. This makes possibility to answer the question how memories are made. With a new memory new pattern of   connection is made and stored in new memory like a scene in a videotape.
When individual tries to remember something he tries to vary some strategies by which missing information can be retrieved.

The biggest mystery to scientists is to understand how different brain regions and processes give coherent conscious experience.
