1. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week?We remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much better, as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories.
We remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections.
2. Do some people really have a photographic memory?
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (π) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time.
Nobody has a photographic memory.
3. Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday?Don’t worry. This is natural for many people. In1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus published a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning. This means timely review during this period, with a few revisits to what is learnt, can significantly help us to remember the information.
The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning.
4. I’m 16, but I sometimes forget things. Is my memory getting worse?Definitely not. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40, we lose 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age, our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.
Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25.
Fast reading: . Correct the false statements.
1. We remember certain events in our childhood, because we experienced many of them for the first time, and we felt strongly about them at the time.
