The occurrence of false memories depends on different factors such as emotion‚ visual stimuli‚ aging‚ and even a person’s seemingly harmless suggestions. How can false memories be reduced in childhood or adulthood? Can we actually use photographs to minimize false memories‚ or can emotions have an impact on our likelihood of retaining false memories

Sensory Memory Sensory memory is the earliest stage of memory. During this stage‚ sensory information from the environment is stored for a very brief period of time‚ generally for no longer than a half-second for visual information and 3 or 4 seconds for auditory information.

Short-Term Memory Short-term memory‚ also known as active memory‚ is the information

Virtual memory is a feature of an operating system that enables a process to use a memory (RAM) address space that is independent of other processes running in the same system‚ and use a space that is larger than the actual amount of RAM present‚ temporarily relegating some contents from RAM to a disk‚ with little or no overhead. In a system using virtual memory‚ the physical memory is divided into equally-sized pages. The memory addressed by a process is also divided into logical pages of the
