Memories to our Core
In the movie Inside Out there is a girl named Riley. She has 5 emotions living in her head which include Anger, Fear, Disgust, Sadness and Joy. She has 5 core memories and if they are lost then that trait will be lost forever until it is learned back. Core memories are created when an important event takes place. The structure of Riley’s brain shows how memories are connected to our core, and that we need memories.
A memory is the process by which we recollect prior experiences and information and skills learned in the past. So memories are made by what she experiences. Episodic Memory is memories of a specific event. When she experiences back flashes she is having Episodic Memories. Semantic Memory is most of what you would say you know including facts, words and concepts. She knows basics to all of them and so concepts include ideas that she comes up with, by using the emotions in her head to choose how she feels. Both of these Episodic and Semantic memory are included in the explicit memory. Completely opposite for explicit memory is implicit memory which includes practiced skills and learned habits.

Storage is the second process of memory, is the maintenance of encoded information over a period of time.
Riley stores all her memories in balls and all those are stored on shelves. Maintenance Rehearsal is the repeating of something in order from forgetting it. The more time spent on remembering it, the longer you will remember it for. The emotions inside Riley’s head had to repeat Bing-Bongs song so that they could remember it and keep singing it. Elaborative Rehearsal is when using sentences instead of words. There are also Organization systems which is the organization and arrangement in your mind. Riley’s are organized in the main core memories, and all of them are stored in one of the five categories that are located hanging over the
pit.
Retrieval consists of locating stored information and returning it to conscious thought.
