WHAT IS BRAIN ?
The human brain is an
ever-changing, ever-evolving organ that has the capability to acquire and retain new information
when it is well into its eighth or ninth decade. It is also the organ of memory, that
hard-to-define concept that we depend on every second of every day.
WHAT IS MEMORY ?
When an event happens, when you
learn something, or when you meet someone, your brain determines whether that information needs
to be saved. If your brain judges the information important, it places it in your memory
"files." Your brain has different parts. Some of them are important for memory. The hippocampus
is one of the more important parts of the brain that processes memories. Old information and new
information, or memories, are thought to be processed and stored away in different areas of the
cerebral cortex, or the "gray matter" of the brain.
Every moment we live, our
memories are working. Memory can be thought of as both a process and a result of a process. It
is the act of registering, storing, and recalling information, and it is the thing being stored
and recalled. Memory is what allows you to perceive, store, and access information you need to
survive and enjoy life. Memory is the cornerstone of the learning process, which is what allows
us to gain new knowledge, to grow in awareness, to acquire wisdom. Memory is what allows you to
understand this sentence by remembering the words long enough to give the sentence meaning.
Memory is a mental activity
for recalling information that has been learned or experienced. It involves receiving, retaining
and retrieving data.
TYPES OF MEMORY
There are different types of
memories. The two basic types of memory are short-term memory and long-term memory. Memory is
part of cognition, a general term that refers to the ability to know, which includes all types
of perceiving, recognizing, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem solving, imagining, mental
clarity, and the ability to concentrate and focus.
