How does a human memory work?

Answer 1

Compared to computer memory, human memory is not only more complex, but much more unpredictable. Unlike the popular notion that memories are "stored" intact in a specific location in the brain, they are actually fragments which may be spread over hundreds of physical areas. In addition to the storage of memories, there is the added complexity of retrieving them. Some scientists say that each time we make an attempt to recall a certain memory, the fragments have to be pieced back together into a whole. The unpredictability comes from which fragments, how they are recombined, and what picture they might make from one time to the next.

Answer 2

In psychology, memory is an organism's mental ability to store, retain and recall information. Traditional studies of memory began in the fields of philosophy, including techniques of artificially enhancing the memory. The late nineteenth and early twentieth century put memory within the paradigms of cognitive psychology. In recent decades, it has become one of the principal pillars of a branch of science called cognitive neuroscience, an interdisciplinary link between cognitive psychology and neuroscience.

Answer 3

Human memory involves three main processes: encoding (the input of information into the memory system), storage (the retention of encoded information over time), and retrieval (the ability to access stored information when needed). Memories are stored in different parts of the brain and can be influenced by multiple factors such as attention, repetition, and emotional significance. Memories can be strengthened through rehearsal and association with existing knowledge.

Answer 4

Scientists are not really sure how it happens, but the part of the brain responsible for memory is in the limbic system, a part known as the hippocampus.
