What Are Some Facts About the Human Brain Memory?

I'm Doing A Science Fair Project On Memory For Humans. I Need Some Like Some Facts About Memory Memory Characteristics of People Need And What Type of Memory (Like Ayub A) And, If You Can, Like When Memory Is Found. I Mean By This With Like, Who's The One First For this Study More Than One Else. Thank You For Helping Me Out.

Sensory memory sensory memories act as buffers for stimuli received through the senses. A sensory memory exists for each sensory channel: iconic memory for visual stimuli, echoic memory for aural stimulation and haptic memory for touch. Information is passed from sensory memory into short-term memory by attention, so the filter only those stimuli which are of interest at any given moment. Short-term memory short-term memory acts as a scratch pad for temporary recall of the information in the process. For example, to understand this sentence you should keep in mind Your first sentence you read the rest. Short-term memory decays rapidly (200 ms.) And also have a limited capacity. Chunking of information can cause an increase in memory capacity short term. Thst is the reason why the phone number hyphenated easier to rememeber from a single long number. Successful formation of the boulder is known as closure. Interference often causes disturbance in short-term memory retention. This accounts for the desire to complete the tasks are stored in short-term memory as soon as possible. Long-term long-term memory memory intended for storage of information during periods of time. Information from working memory is transferred to it after a few seconds. Unlike in working memory, there decay slightly. Long-term memory structure There are two types of long-term memory: episodic memory and semantic memory. episodic memory represents our memory of events and experiences in serial form. It is from this memory that we can reconstruct the actual events that took place at a certain point in our lives. semantic memory, on the other end, is the record structured from the facts, concepts and skills that we acquire. The information in semantic memory from episodic memory of our own, so that we can learn the facts new or concepts from our experiences. ________________________________________________________ - The human brain, with about 100 billion neurons, can be likened to a computer with little 1,000,000,000,000 per processor second. Even more interesting: in 2020, computers will be able to do this (according to Moore's law has proved quite accurate in predicting how the velocity computers will increase from time to time). - The brain is not sensitive to pain, although that process pain signals. - It only takes one week so that learning to juggle the structure of your brain to change. This is more evidence that the brain continues to grow. - Amygdala - Where's intense, personal, long-term memories are stored - is also the place where fear processed. - Hyperthymestic syndrome is a rare condition which is actually very good memory. Exemplified by Jill Price, this condition does not mean you remember everything, and different from the "photographic memory ". In the case of Price, she remembers every event in your life. - Your brain uses less power than your refrigerator light! Within a day, only using 12 watts of a battle power (same as contained in two large bananas). - Although the brain is only 3 percent of body weight, consumes 17 percent of the total energy of the body. - Jet lag can often damage the memory. Because of the stress hormones released during jet lag, they damage the temporal lobe and memory
