The Brain, in particular the frontal and temporal lobes.
This highly complex Area is known as the Cell's [or Cellular] Nucleus.
Yes. Declarative memory is explicit information which can be consciously inspected. Episodic memory is information you know that is tied to certain times or places. For example, if I asked you where you went on holiday last, this would be a question about episodic memory (the holiday is an episode in your life) and it is part of declarative memory (you would be able to declare the answer).
The part of your memory that briefly holds all incoming information is called short-term memory. This short-term memory is usually only 5 to 7 items. You can add more to your short-term memory if you chunk it. You use this method, for example, when you remember a telephone number.
Short term memory refers to the temporary storage of information for a brief period, usually around 15-30 seconds. Working memory, on the other hand, involves actively processing and manipulating this information to perform tasks such as problem-solving or decision-making. Working memory is like the "workspace" where short term memory is utilized for cognitive tasks.
A desktop saves memory in the CPU. When one wants to access information, the random access memory, or RAM, is used. The amount of memory a computer has depends on the size of the CPU.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
cerebral cortex
This is the first part of making memories and is part of short term memory formation. The term for making these is sometimes called chunking if the bits of information are long. Example: a phone number.
USB memory sticks are an amazing product that has consigned floppy and zip disks to the dustbins of history. The best source of comparison information is always consumer reports. However, major online retailers such as Amazon have reviews and information about memory sticks as part of their product listings.
Short term memory is responsible for hanging on to information until it can be stored in long term memory. Short term memory is similar to your ROM, and is "erased" after a little while unless you transfer it over to the "hard drive." Part of the trouble in learnning new facts is trying to move them from the short term memory over to the long term. It often takes 20 repetitions before you remember something.
Explicit memory is used every day, there is no statistical percentage as to how often it is used, but this is the part of the memory that recollects past experiences and information. For example remembering a birthday or a meeting.
