The memory

The memory

1. Is defined as

   • It is a function of the brain that allows the human being to acquire, store and retrieve information about...
     • There are two types of memory
       • Long-term memory
         • Anything you remember happened more than a few minutes ago
         • Long-term memories can last only a few days or for many years.
         • The strongest memories allow you to remember an event, procedure or made to order, for example, that Paris is the capital of France.
         • Often review memory over time, perhaps merging it with another memory
           • or incorporating what others tell you about memory
             • There are two main subdivisions which are explicit memory and implicit memory.
               • Explicit memories are those that you remember consciously, as an event in your life or a particular event.
               • The implicit memories are those that you do without thinking, like riding a bicycle: once you learned how and remembered how to do it, but now do it without consciously thinking about it.
       • Short-term memory
         • Short-term memory, closely related to "working memory", is like a receptionist for the brain.
           • Work memory vs. short-term memory
             • Working memory is a newer concept than short-term memory.
               • nevertheless, the operative memory emphasizes the manipulation of the brain of the information it receives (using it, storing it, etc.)
                 • while short-term memory is a more passive concept.
           • Age and short-term memory
             • As we get older, the amount of time our short-term memory can store information becomes shorter and shorter.
               • It also gives our brain less time to successfully move new information into long-term memory, which makes us more likely to forget details of recent events.
                 • However, you can work to slow down the process by maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the brain and keeping your memory active.
     • different types of knowledge, skills and past experiences.
