Chapter 1
Have you ever wondered why we forget? Imagine that your brain is a big memory bank wherein you store all the things that you can possibly retrieve. However, it can be quite alarming to realize that you cannot remember names, dates, faces, and events that you wanted to carefully retain. Your brain is so complex that even the tiniest nerve can affect your pool of memories.
To give you an in-depth understanding of our brain function, here are the two main reasons psychologists claim why people forget:
Some memories are stored in your brain but unfortunately, they just cannot come in handy when you need them because you cannot remember them! However, the good news is, there is no need to worry because forgetting things does not mean they are forever gone. The trick is, theyll just pop out again on a much later date when you try to remember them.
Sadly, there are memories which will be permanently wiped out from your brain, forever. You simply forget everything, and they are all irretrievable. No traces, no clues, just empty memory bank space.
But nevertheless, people forget things depending on how long the memory has been retained.
The last food you ate, the recent three numbers you have heard, and the name of a particular street you just passed by fall under the short-term categories. These are like a working notepad, where you can temporarily recall things for a certain period of time. Short term memory is always readily-available and in an active state to process small pieces of information it encounters for a short period of time, approximately 10-15seconds to a full minute.
Have you ever had that experience when you were trying to recall something that you know that you have always remembered but ended up frustrated because you cannot recall? You know that it is there but it seems like its gone no matter how hard you try to remember. It just seems so frustrating, doesnt it? The most common reason why you forget things is the difficulty or inability to retrieve information. This can be further explained through the Decay Theory . It states that when a memory is not rehearsed or utilized over time, it fades and gradually vanishes into thin air, and *poof* memory gone.
This is a matter of replacing old memories with new ones. As you go on with your life daily, you tend to endlessly learn, experience, or encounter new things that can make you forget those that you initially stored. Just like the food that you ate. You may remember what you ate a day or two ago, but as time passes by, you will forget them because they will eventually be replaced by the food that you recently ate.
As the name implies, this theory suggests that some memories tend to interfere or compete with their other co-memories. There is a higher chance for you to not recall the information which appear quite similar from the ones that you have stored from the past.
This occurs when you hold on too much to an old memory which makes the new memory to be difficult to be stored.
On the other hand, new memories interfere to your ability to recall the information you initially learned before.
While short-term memories are readily-available for a limited amount of time, long term memories are those that you treasure for a long period of time or amazingly for a lifetime! Though you forget things everyday, long-term memories are retained in the brain but it can undergo gradual decay. Memories from the short-term storage can be converted into long-term memories through conscious effort of repetitive rehearsing. Never underestimate short-term memories because they head you steps closer towards permanent retention. Your name, important birthdates, first-time experiences and many more are all examples that you can retain for a lifetime.
- They can also be erased through decay and interference.
- Forgetting long-term memories happen because the bonds or connections that aid in remembering are permanently broken down by certain diseases that affects the memories of the brain such as Alzheime r s disease.
It is pretty amusing how the human brain can live every day and unlimitedly store what it encounters daily. Imagine that your memory bank is a book, most probably it would appear very think and contain millions of information of how your life was since you were very young up to this very point of reading these texts. Here is an enlightening overview about that incredible thing called memory.
It is basically an essential process of information encoding, storing, and retrieving. You are made up of memories. Without your memories from the past, you cannot live the present, and impossibly for the future.
Most people are accustomed in subscribing to false beliefs and most often debunk the facts about memory. Here are the common myths with their counter truths to help you fully understand.
Truth: Everyone tends to forget at some point in their lives. Memory slip-ups are normal. It does not necessarily mean that if you always forget things, you already have a serious disorder. Try to consider a perso n s age. This is normal to people who are old, but be cautious to those who are still young. In addition, consider this, if you forget where you laid your keys, then that was pretty normal. But if you forget how to use them, then that is the time you should be alarmed. Seek for medical help if you are in doubt. Prevention anyway is always better than cure.
