As everyone know the memory gives everyone the opportunity to store information of
Things that we remember, these things can include various items from sounds, colors and images of what we have seen. Some people memory process images better than others and keep those memories for long term and yet some people forget things that has happen within a certain …show more content…
time frame. The memory holds a lot of information that can be used for later use or that can be used within a certain time frame. Our memory works on short term and long term. Our memory consist of three steps and those three steps are encoding, storage and retrieval.
Encoding involves how information is transformed into the memory by connecting it with various images that is associated with this to recognize this and keep it in the memory, storage involve the changes that is ,made for this memory to be stored and retrieval involves going back and getting what we have stored doing the encoding and bringing all this to action, ( Psychology 101, 2009). Everyone’s memory has a starting point and this point of start is with the perception of a memory that has to be encoded with senses, there are multiple ways in which our senses register these senses, these can be done with the hippocampus part if the brain which stores the experiences that you have had with various items that you reacted with. There are nerve cells that help to interact with the brains that connect to the synapses that will go on and connect and send out messages that are transmitted with the neurotransmitters where they can then connect to the neighboring cells. The brain is subject to doing multiply links that give the brain trillions if synapse. All information that the brain receive are stored within different parts of the brain
and there no known information of how this is stored within the cohesive memory. Research has shown that the human brain holds memory in one particular region, yet some state that the memory transfers through all parts of the brain. ( Gunaseelan 2009). As a person brains gather information that they has studied or learned and there is something that may cause interference with the retrieval of this information this inference is known as proactive but at the same time if the brain cannot retrieve the information that which is already known from that which is being learned now this is known as retroactive which means

that the brain is working backwards in time, as we look at the human brain we find that there are different ways in which the brain function, the brain is in a use or lose it way and at times this can benefit the brain in a way of clearing the brain of unused memory and making space for newer memories. There may be times when a person may forget where things that they have put down are placed and at this point people tend to think of this as absentminded, with absentmindedness this can happen because at this time your mind was on something else and not on what you were looking for, there has also been another form of absentmindedness that has been reported and this has to do with a person forgetting to do something at a set time ( example) having to take blood pressure medication at 9 am every morning, this is forgetting to set clues that remind a person of the time to take their medications. Our memory can also block some of the information that it may be receiving, when blocking occurs this involves not being able to retrieve the information that is in your memory, this can happen in the young stage if life or the elderly stages of life. Coming to the understanding we all can see that our memory is the book of life that stores all of our information. There are always steps that can be taken to improve the memory and some of those steps my involve organizing our thoughts so that it can become easier to remember things, using all of the senses when trying to learn new things, try to use sounds and sight to recognize things that we all want to remember, expand our the brain with the knowledge of learning something new and this knowledge can come into focus by reading and learning from the information that was read. One of the most important things that have to do with the memory is sleep. Sleep gives the mind time to relax and help to restore some of the cell lost.
