The mystery of memory

Summary

Memory is one of the most unexplored human phenomenon which scientists are trying to understand over the last one hundred years.  Specific thing is that it transfers into different types of forms, two of them is a short-term and a long-term memory. There are also many distinctions, which explorers try to analyze.

Experiments show that it is easier for humans to forget how to call a thing, but not how to use it. It is because of procedural memory, which is more steady than declarative.

Another scientific phenomenon is that photographic memory has a tendency to lose power when a young man grows up. In early childhood associations are more colourful, especially at the age of eight.

Also, they found that new memory creates a new pattern of connections. It is the same as the “memory” of the scene is stored on the tape of a video recorder. Many different regions of brain store various types of  information, things that human try to remember, like names of persons, where to go or what they did yesterday.

Anyway, such scientific things have been not explored till the end and scientists have to make a careful close study of how memories are made because to understand the mystery of human memory.
