Dear friends,
Greetings of the day.
Today I want to ask a question,i.e. " How is your memory?". I know most of you will say " not good". isn't it??

| How memory works |
We always discuss memory and we have heard a lot about it. Often people say their memory is not good at all. They always forget their important work/lesson etc. Either they are students or working professionals or anyone, everyone is facing the same problem. So, today let us first know what our memory is:-
Memory is a
fundamental mental process, and without memory, we are capable of nothing but
simple reflexes and stereotyped behaviors. The brain works like a computer it stores the data into different small files and then when it is needed it uses that particular file. If this process is done perfectly i.e. right file is used at the right time then we can say it is a good memory.
Memory labels a diverse set of cognitive
capacities by which we retain information and

| the function of our brain |
Memory is one of the most important ways by which our histories animate our current actions and experiences.
Power or process of recalling or reproducing what has been learned or experienced is an attestation of good memory
DEFINITION OF MEMORY
Memory – it is the process of
encoding, storing, and retrieving information when needed. It is one of the most
fundamental mental processes of the human brain.
Memory is often understood as an informational processing system with explicit and implicit functioning that is made up of a sensory processor, short-term (or working) memory, and long-term memory.
Memory is often understood as an informational processing system with explicit and implicit functioning that is made up of a sensory processor, short-term (or working) memory, and long-term memory.
In general term memory is the sum total of information that we keep in our mind and allow us to learn, adapt and do things based on past experience.
. TYPES OF MEMORY
We always discuss a good memory or bad memory but don't know the types of memory.
We are good or bad to keep old information or to keep a new one in our mind, that decides our memory type.
Memory actually takes many different forms. We know that when
we store a memory, we are storing information. But, what that information is
and how long we retain it determines what type of memory we have.
There are three major categories of memory:
>Short-term memory,
>Sensory memory,
>And long-term memory.
There are three major categories of memory:
>Short-term memory,

>And long-term memory.
A. Short -Term Memory:- it is also known as
working memory, it stores information that we need to remember in the following
seconds or minutes or hours. For example- it would be a telephone message that you are
given and must remember until you pass it on.
Generally, short-term memory is considered to be a temporary resting place and
information is held there for approximately 30 seconds to two minutes. The amount
of information that can be held in short-term memory is relatively small.
B. Sensory memory:- Sensory memory retains the brief impression of
a sensory stimulus after the stimulus itself has ended. Once you have seen an
object and then have disappeared, it may still be vivid in your memory.
Sensory memory allows
us to take a snapshot of our environment our surroundings, and to store this information for a
short period. This does not require any conscious attention and, indeed, is usually
considered to be totally outside of conscious control.
For example, look at one shelf full of toys. It is a fact that you
can see them or quite remember them, but not remember all of the toys that are
placed within the shelf.
C.
Long-term memory:
- it stores information that your brain retains for you because it is important to you. Remembered information includes names of family, friends, and relatives, your
address, contact details as well as information on how to do certain activities and tasks.
Long-term memory can be further divided into explicit, implicit and semantic
memory.
>Explicit memory:- It is of two kinds
(a) episodic memory:-these are the memory of specific events or incidents such as your birthday celebration, any good or bad incidents as well as what you did yesterday for the long term.
(b)Semantic memory:- these are the memory of facts, names, general knowledge
>Implilicit memory:- these are the memory that people don't try to remember and stored in the brain. this kind of memory is unconscious and unintentional in nature. example of this memory is - driving to your home, preparing food, remembering how to drive vehicles, a person washes his face without thinking how to do it. etc
Explicit memories are conscious and can be verbally explained, but implicit memories are usually non-conscious and can not be verbally explained.
