	Memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A basic and generally accepted classification of memory is based on the duration of memory retention, and identifies three distinct types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
		Sensory memory is characterized by the duration of memory retention from milliseconds to seconds and short-term memory from seconds to minutes.
		A further major way to distinguish different memory functions is whether the content to be remembered is in the past, retrospective memory, or whether the content is to be remembered in the future, prospective memory.

	Memory - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Memory is a function of the brain: the ability to retain information.
		Memory is much studied by cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
		For example, the movie Memento, about a man afflicted with Anterograde amnesia, reflects on the nature and meaning of memory (and implications of memory loss); and the paintings of Howard Hodgkin, whilst apparently abstract, are said by the artist to be representations of his memories (and their emotional associations).

	memory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A basic and generally accepted classification (depending on the duration of memory retention and the amount of stored information during these stages) identifies three distinct types of memory: ''Sensory memory'', ''short-term memory'', and ''long-term memory''.
		Sensory memory is characterized by the duration of memory retention from miliseconds to seconds and short-term memory from seconds to minutes.
		The definition of ''working memory'', which is erroneously used as a synonym of short-term memory, is based on not only the duration of memory retention but also the way how it is used in daily life activities.

	Memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Memory is the ability of an organism to store, retain, and subsequently recall information.
		Visual memory is part of memory preserving some characteristics of our senses pertaining to visual experience.
		It is revealed when we do better in a given task due only to repetition - no new explicit memories have been formed, but we are unconsciously accessing aspects of those previous experiences.

	Recommendations for Improving Your Memory
		Retention of information is maximized when it is held in memory in an organized manner and is attached to other meaningful information already in your knowledge base.
		Memory can be VERBAL such as remembering the sound of a word or the printed representation of words.
		Memory can also be KINESTHETIC which is your ability to remember the way something feels or remembering a sequence of actions such as how to play tennis.

	WORKING MEMORY RETENTION SYSTEMS: A STATE OF ACTIVATED LONG-TERM MEMORY
		The effect of lexical status in the retention interval of the memory task was specific to consciously controlled memory operations, since lexical status had a negligible influence upon ERP activity in the poststimulus delay interval of a "non-memory" control task with similar attentional demands and stimulus and response processing requirements (Fig.
		As in the memory task, an incidental probe word was aurally presented 2000 ms after onset of the delay interval, and was semantically and categorically related to the last word in the priming set on 50% of the trials and unrelated with any of the words in the priming set on the remaining trials.
		This result indicates that brain activity during retention of sentence meaning is affected by semantic relationships among elements of the previously presented sentence, and is evidence for a post-sentence short-term memory process that maintains thematic role relations in linguistic discourse.

	Improving Memory
		Memory loss is a common part of the mental scene.
		However this age-associated memory decline is neither progressive nor disabling, as are illnesses that cause dementia.
		Memory improvement classes teach people how to focus their facilities on new information that they want to retain, how to hone their ability to give full attention to the subject at hand and how to consciously build associations with previously encoded items of memory.

	MemoryLifter - How to learn through memory aids, learning tools and the learning process
		Memory is one of those words that everyone knows at an intuitive definition level but that is actually very complex and difficult to universally capture the details of.
		MEMORY and learning are very closely related, and the terms used to describe one process are often used to describe the other.
		The memory span of Working Memory can be measured for given subjects at specific moments in time and varies by subject, but generally accepted measurements of memory span say that we can hold about seven items in Working Memory.

	FuturePundit: Brain Memory Archives
		Memory for a misinformation item was scored as a false memory only if the subject attributed the item to either the original presentation or to both the original and second slide presentations.
		The core findings showed that controlling unwanted memories was associated with increased activation of the left and right frontal cortex (the part of the brain used to repress memory), which in turn led to reduced activation of the hippocampus (the part of the brain used to remember experiences).
		But also memories of crime could be erased and a perpetrator could claim in all honesty to have no memory of having committed a particular act.

	Emotions Affect Memory Retention
		The amygdala -- a part of the brain that plays a role in emotion -- "is important in modulating memory for events according to their emotional importance, regardless of whether the nature of the emotion is pleasant or aversive," conclude Dr. Stephen Hamann and colleagues at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
		recognition memory was substantially enhanced for the pleasant, aversive, and interesting pictures relative to the neutral pictures." They note that amygdala activity and memory retention was equally strong for both pleasant and unpleasant images.
		The amygdala is thought to enhance memory through its interaction with a prime memory center, a part of the brain called the hippocampus.

	Memory Encoding, Storage Retention and Retrieval
		Memory is retention of information over a period of time.
		Ebbinghaus studied memories by teaching himself lists of nonsense words and then studying his retention of these lists over periods of hours to days.
		This was one of the earliest studies of memory in psychology.

	Development of Memory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The challenge of studying memory in infancy is that babies have a limited repetoire of responses: they can't speak, and their motor capacities are limited.
		Retention interval for 2-month olds is about a day, but retention for 3-month olds is about 8 days.
		All of these experiments, and the others described by Neath, suggest that the raw memory abilities of children are not so bad, but that they don't know how to get the best use out of their memories - have poor metamemory.

		This impressive diligence in recording and testing is matched by a similarly high level of retention.
		Interestingly, in the light of our discussions above with regard to the desirability of an emotional organisation of personal memories, she found that the rated importance and emotionality at encoding and retrieval showed rather poor agreement.
		Another aspect of the findings linton reports is also worthy of comment, namely, that repeated events appeared to lose their particular episodic qualities, leaving the memory of the type of event readily accessible, but only its generic aspects.

	Different Parts Of The Brain Are Involved In Memory Retention
		Rats were experimented upon during the course of the research that proved that processing memory for context involves the hippocampus, while memory is retained by the anterior cingulate cortex.
		Memories are consolidated and stored by the amygdala, which is another part of the brain.
		During the course of the experiment, rats were familiarized with the insides of a box, and later administered a foot shock in a dark part of the box, and the drug oxotremorine was injected into the rat’s hippocampus.

	Memory - Crystalinks
		The sensory and short-term memory are bio-electrical types of memory, as they store information in form of electrical signals, whereas the long-term memory is a bio-chemical type of memory.
		The process of keeping in mind all this information for a short period of time is called working memory.
		Another example is memory resulting from motor learning, which depends upon the cerebellum and basal ganglia.
