I have become very interested in the importance of memory in our lives.Most people know that the brain controls how the body works.The brain also controls what the mind thinks,how we feel,how we work on information,and how we understand things.I am interested in how people remember,what they remember,and how they use and improve their memories.Memory plays an important role in learning and thinking.People have different abilities to remember.Stress,fatigue,emotional problems,and illness can decrease the ability to remember.General good health contributes to good memory.Practice also improves memory.People gather and remember information in different ways.Some people remember colors or smells or sounds.Other people find it easier to remember spoken words.While still others remember printed words easily.We have two kinds of memory — long-term memory and short-term memory.Long-term memory is the ability to remember events from the distant past.Long-term memory is often the strongest and lasts throughout a person‟s life.One kind of long-term memory is called “screen memory.” This means that many experiences we get are put together in the mind as one memory.Short-term memory is the ability to remember events in the recent past,for example,the name of someone you met at a party last night.Short-term memory is often challenged by stress,illness,and aging.Many of us have,or have had,grandparents who‟re able to remember events from their childhood ,but are unable to remember what happened yesterday.Most people can only remember seven items in order.This is why telephone numbers,for example,are seven digits ( digits:0-9 ) long.Not all memories are correct,but they all tell us something about the person who is doing the remembering.The memory may tell us what the rememberer likes or dislikes,what he or she wishes,and it may also tell us about his or her fears.The study of memory may also provide information about the health or illness of a person.This is a very exciting frontier in biological science.There is still a lot for us to learn.
