TOPIC:The Truth About Memory
Memory
Memory makes us. If we couldn't recall the who's, what's, where's, and when's of our everyday lives, we'd never be able to manage. We mull over ideas in the present with our short-term (or working) memory, while we store past events and learned meanings in our long-term (episodic or semantic) memory.
What's more, memory is malleable–and it tends to decay with age. So stay sharp by reading our articles on the riddles of recollection! (from Psychology Today at http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/memory)
