#Memory #ShortAndLongTerm Your memory is required to be stored in your brain, regardless of whether the information stays for a while or not. Its been said that there are three types of ways that memory can be sorted in the brain. There is the sensory area; short-term memory and long-term memory. We dont have to hold on to everything that is stored in our brain. There is a section that acts as a protector so that you wont be bombarded with information overload that we consume on a regular basis. With short-term memory, there is not much capacity. It only holds so much for no more than a half a minute. However, there may be a way to hold it for a little longer. If you divide the information into chunks, it could stay in your memory a little longer than usual. You can also repeat the information to keep the short-term memory going. Information that is crucial goes to the long-term memory bank. It comes from the short-term memory. If you use the information repeatedly, it will probably go to the long-term memory side. That is where it will stay for a longer period of time. When people know what the information is about, it can be easily stored. They feel that the information means a lot to them. They can relate to it and keep it stored in their long-term memory. People whose memory is average can remember lots of information about one thing. In order for the information to get to the long-term memory bank, it will go through the sensory and the short-term memory first.
