2 How Do We Form Memories?
2.1 The Man Who Couldnt Remember

On September 1, 1953, a 27-year-old American, now famous under the pseudonym H.M., underwent brain surgery to stop the excruciating epileptic seizures he had been suffering from since his early teens.

After the surgery, H.M. found he couldnt form any new lasting memories. The surgery had indeed stopped his seizures, but it had also impaired his ability to memorize new information.

He could still remember facts and episodes from his life until a certain time before his surgery, but he could no longer remember what he had for breakfast, and people had to introduce themselves again every time he met them. H.M. was frozen in time.

He was tested extensively for his intellectual abilities and scored normal on a standard IQ test, even slightly better than before his surgery. He could also remember a number he had just heard for a considerable time. However, when his attention was distracted from the number, he lost all memory of it. It became apparent that he could only keep the number in memory by constantly rehearsing it.

During a different experiment, he was shown a stimulus (i.e., a shape, color, etc.) and after a varying period of time a second stimulus for comparison. H.M. could only successfully report whether the two stimuli were the same for time periods (between the two presentations) of less than a minute.

In summary, while H.M. could still perceive normally and remember the information he perceived for short periods of time (30 to 40 seconds), he could no longer form long-term memories. The tests performed on H.M and other amnesiac patients suggest the existence of separate short-term and long-term memory processes in our brain.

2.2 The Stages of Memory

To improve our memory and make our learning effective, it is useful to get an idea of how information coming from external sources actually becomes a memory.

How and when does something we see, hear, smell, or feel actually become a long-term memory? Why are we, unlike H.M., not frozen in time? Why can we constantly add to our base of knowledge and experiences?

Three memory processes are involved in memorizing information:

  1. Sensory Memory
  2. Short-Term Memory
  3. Long-Term Memory

Here is an everyday example of how they work together:

You are on a date in a caf, and the radio is playing. The voice of the radio host is entering your ear and thus your sensory memory (auditory). You are admiring your date and not paying attention to anything else, so the radio is just background noise. The signal for the six oclock news catches your attention. The host is reporting the lottery numbers. The numbers are 14, 24, 49
