In Case You Forgot, Here’s How Memory Works

Posted by jffcrmr | 0 comments

One’s memory is important to every aspect of life, enhancing our existence.

In addition to allowing us to remember personal moments (good and bad), they also are the source of an individual’s ability to store, retain, and recall information. 

Despite the appearance that a memory encompasses only a single event, they are in fact a complex construction of multiple, smaller, moments combined together to create a memorable event.

Unfortunately memories do not last forever with loss of memory occurring for a variety of reasons: aging, disease, trauma, intoxication, certain medications and more.

If you don’t challenge your mind, memory is like any other muscle, if you don’t use it, you’re more likely to lose it.   The graphic below from Online Colleges Blog explains what memory is, how it works and more importantly, certain mental exercises you can do to improve your memory, now and for the rest of your life.
