The mystery of memory

Summary

There are a lot of things that has to be remembered in human’s life. Passed so many centuries since science of memory appeared. Nowadays many people are focusing on human brain and how does it recall and save remembrances.

It is very simple how our brains work; each time a new memory is made a new pattern is created in our brains, which stores the new memory. Many things in our brain is recalled only for few seconds or minutes and after that it is being deleted or it is transferred to long term memory. Our memory seems to be endless. If people are trying to remember something, memories from long-term memory are recovered to so-called “working memory”. After that information is sorted to procedural memory (remembering “how” to do things) or to declarative memory (remembering how the object looks like). There is also a theory that proves that a human brain easier recognizes the picture of your friend then to recall it without any visual help. Moreover, human has eidetic or photographic memory that snapshots fragment that is associated with smells, tastes or colours.

All in all, sometimes people forget unnecessary things, but most of the important information is stored to long-term memory that is very useful to everyone’s life, that means people can improve their skills. Human has magnificent memory that is endless.
