How memories form and how we lose them - Catharine Young 

yesss

@Miftahul Jannat I think, they will remember you until you get prison sentence, because you made them feel mad. And they will forget you and don't care about your life in prison.

@Miftahul Jannat Basically your picture will be hang on the bank the next time you visit it

+DuizhangLu Which is why I withdrew after the first semester.

+DuizhangLu We'll make good money eventually.

Faggotyliciouss Well people with extra chromosomes are retarded.. That's pretty much true and proven scientifically. And you sure sound like you have an extra one m8 ;^)

Faggotyliciouss Haha. Dude why are you trying to fight me? Take it easy brah, btw that was a nice comeback!

Duizhanglu. You argue like a child, you actually said thr words "we will get some more money" Then get all offensive when someone confronts you about it saying you did not emply you did not want the money; how are you even in med schol?

Very correct

@D.K are you now ok

A vivid memory, but why not, did it fade, storage areas in the brain,efficiency should not be lost, blame age for deterioration, interfere with your ability because of stress, brain cells lost by depression, serotonin means your less attentive than you used to be, use it or lose it🆗🆘🚩✅

I've been depressed years. The way I cope is mental puzzles, distracts the mind from going back to the past or being in the present.

@@maggiemay9381 what is mental puzzles?

@Lakshmi Kimmu mannn that's kinda sad

I think it's so you don't do it again

Same goes for me .

Omg I was just wondering exactly that was very concerned about it. I only remember bad stuff. like ONLY bad stuff and good stuff only comes when I see a photo. but I guess if thats normal I dont have to worry lol

Sammme!

+Liam Thongvilu I was going to say that! :-) Currently, I'm learning my sixth language

+Ivan Chagas that's awesome, my 5th is on the way too :)

+Liam Thongvilu What's the point in learning a new language? I don't communicate with anyone anyhow. Why should I want to learn a complete new language, just to chit-chat? Seems pretty foolish to me.

Enlightenment That's very, very reductionist of you. I learn languages so I have access to more sources of knowledge. There is a large amount of articles, academic papers, blogs and courses in other languages. And that's just another side of it. English is 50% of internet, 20% of books, 40% of scholarly journals, 30% of movies. There are many more, like emerging in a new culture, being able to read content in their originals - and that's crucial, depending on your job - , etc. :-) So, I take into account that you don't want or don't see a purpose, but just because you don't, it doesn't mean that there isn't one.

Ivan Chagas I speak three languages, I haven't found anything unique in terms of academic papers, if something is really important it's going to get translated anyhow into our "standard language"/English. Blogs and movies are meant for degenerates. English is the only language we really need, honestly. Cultures are shared by a group of narrow-minded people that all share the same opinions and mindset - which is often if not always correlated to religion (bleh). They talk in terms of "we" instead of "I", biggots. I agree about the work part, I like to generalize my opinions and the only proposition you've convinced me of is something as superficial as "work". Unless if it is something academically beneficiary such as studying different linguistic structures and so on... Most of you study it to befriend others and chit-chat. Not to mention, waste of time; claiming you know a language but have only grasped the most basic fundamentals - their level is synonymous with street slugs yet they claim to be fluent; what a joke.

well said

+Sabaca Yeah! Your body still remembers all that baby food you've eaten as a child. 'Cause, uhh... It's... in your... bones? Yeah! Bones sounds good! #Kappa

+LordDragox412 But the atoms are different besides memory your not the same person you were back then

+Sabaca I forgot what you wrote.

OXI Soldier Good point. I thought I made it too. I guess my point was too edgy, though. Pointy, I would say. Like an arrow. An arrow pointing at how pointless my comment is, but then you see it's not serious and you get hurt on the edge, 'caues it's a sharp disc. Except it's not a disc and it's Kung Lao's hat seen from the top. And then you realize your whole life is a lie 'cause the fission has been mailed 'cause Matrix. Yep. #Kappa

SAME, sometimes I can't remember if what I wrote was actually original or based off something I read a long time ago, and I don't remember if I actually experienced some events or I imagined them. My dreams are also vivid and lifelike, and I usually can't tell it apart from real life.

This is considerably interesting.

Your slowly slipping into a schizophrenic psychosis my friend … seek professional help

Same here bro. Sometimes I just cant remember if my memory was real life or a dream

*Drops out of Harvard*

I love you

SnowLeopard84 fangirl same!

Damn right

i've had alot of stress argued and fought all my life, drank, done drugs...i've recently memorized and rewrote down how to professional grow weed and i remember everything from being in nappies to wantng to break my toys at like 5 if i could hear a rattle because i wanted to know what it was.. and so on and on....i've done it all and i'm still vigorous haha love it

Could probably be other neurons that hasn't died out yet

marta scientists still aren't too sure about that. They tested a lot on the 20000 neurons of a kind of crab and it probably has to do with the reactivation that is cause by a certain protein but it's really hard to tell if a memory is lost or just not activated and available to the concious thinking.

@@rubyrootless7324 thank you, for this comment.

Memory is stored in electricity right? I think the memory is lost in those static electricity shocks.

+anik558 She's making a reference. A good one at that!

this reference...

+anik558 Erm go watch the movie "Inside out"

I freaking love that movie.

lmao

you studying psychology? wow ! can u elaborate about your course please

pulga 79 because you forcing study and not by your will

I'm sure many of us can vividly recall the most useless information that we probably didn't even want to learn it but struggle to learn subjects we actually like. It tells me that there must be a simple an intuitive way the brain can learn connections and ideas without the need for constant studying. Perhaps the years of being exposed to the culture we live in has imprinted us with the ability to understand symbols and concepts on a deeper level without the need for repetition or attention, the question then being, if this is true, how do we use it? How do we consciously manipulate the very foundations of what we know to gain new information from unfamiliar or foreign sources? There have been people known to remember everything about anything. They could recall exacly when they had lunch 15 years ago today. The existence of these people tells us that we're not using our brains to their fullest potential.

You deffently don't remmeber what she just said in the video because she said the answer several times...

pulga 79 the opposite happens with me. I have forgotten mostly all fun memories of my high school but remember most of my lessons

Can relate :") I feel the same

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

because those are some memories you'd rather discard

Austin Stoddard is

Tim Lang. I have. a d. Gig was* Actually no its however*

because your memories are psychic type. beware ground-type memories

I discovered your comment 2 years later but this exactly resonated with me, except that I don't remember when my depression started (feels like since birth, but may not be) and why, but it was a very long duration. And I got out of it around 5 years back, and I've been highly optimistic and enthusiastic about everything around me since then. But the only problem bogging me is that I don't remember anything long back or recent events. Even what I studied in my past semester. I get top grades or highest scores often and I was surprised to learn that the way I naturally memorize academic stuff, by pretending to teach others or myself and enjoying the information, is actually the best method as described by many youtubers. But I can't recall now the stuff I learnt before. That gets my profs mad because they feel I don't love my academic subjects. It seems impossible for them to forget what you enjoy. And whenever I turn up for slumbers at my friends', they bring up so many details, even things about me that I have no idea about that had happened. Even when I tell my parents about it, they advise me to take a local herb that aids in memory loss, but I wonder, that herb is not available to everyone. How is everybody so good at remembering everything then?

+boy638 This is where we start to use our imagination

+boy638 It comes with our ability to plan. We have the ability to think in words and think in concepts or ideas. For example, What if I told you: "You haven't had anybody in your house for 5 years, then one day you let a "repair man" into your house to fix your sink. The next day you get robbed." What's the first thing that comes to mind? The repair man robbed you right? Now think about how you came to that conclusion just now. Did you actually say in your mind, "The repair man must have robbed me because he was the only person there the day before." ? NO. You thought about the 'concept' of the repairman robbing you, not actual words. If we thought in sentences, we'd be slow as hell.

try to visualize a new color

I know this is old, but as you know everything you experience and see is just a controlled hallucination, if we had the ability to experience the universe for what it really is, everything would look radically different, hence why science is done by tools and not by our own observation, because it's misleading of the true reality. so when thinking about the fact that the brain is making sense by hallucinating, why shouldn't it also be able hallucinate pictures of things that don't exist in front of you?

boy638 I think that basically we associate words, concepts and images that are in our memory to create a sort of visual memory. When we imagine what we've never seen we recombine our memories.

+TexasRedneck That's probably because you don't care about their names.

Try looking them in the eyes, repeating their name back to them and identifying a characteristic to remember them by. For example "Nice to meet you David." If David has dark hair, you'll want to take note of something like this because it forms another link to his name and makes retrieval easier. You have to ACTUALLY listen and use your brain to remember names, it's by no means a passive event!

+pisiupo It's a struggle I deal with. There are times that I want to know what their name is but I guess subconsciously I guess I don't lol

+Hissingcash123 Yeah that is a good idea to try that. Thank you

+TexasRedneck Same, I don't remember names or numbers but faces is something I can strongly remember and describe.

Introversion has nothing to do with that so not that excuse

Mark Arandjus hahaha

lol

Yeah but computer can learn 100000 times better

It's unfair computer can preserve memories longer

Long term memory is more like SSD, since long term memory can be altered as well.

A Sprinkle Of Fiery Unicorns I had a Fluffernutter with a berry juice box at 12:40 pm

Then why?

I can't don't know one each one of these comments!

Same..I can remember the bad things Crystal clear but the good ones are just a not as vivid

same, it sucks to forget all those great times you once had in your childhood especially those are the times where you have the most fun in life and not worry about so many things.

Personally, that was me

Hi Pearl.

Steven Universe yes!?

I hope you get better 🤍

“Questions and Ideas, Don’t Forget them,” …The title of a journal that encourages you to keep the Journal with you, and particularly in places where ideas seem to come to you. This is another journal by this author that I use consistently (fairly consistently anyway) You could probably create your own journal or notebook to accomplish this, but I like how this one is laid out.

How do you feel now?

P same

That means you didn’t like or care about it.

I watched the first episode of game of thrones season 8 two weeks back, but right after it ended, I could barely remember what happened in that episode.

Mphk

Then how do you remember your name?

Claude Smoot lol 😂

Claude Smoot i read this comment on 4/20

Smoke weed

I'm sorry you had to go through this, it's very hard especially for a child. However, Maybe your father threw it away to protect you but he didn't mean to hit it that hard or to be dead. Hope you feel better soon 🤍

@@omniatamer228 He often beat my mother and my brothers, often kicked us out of the house so that we could sleep on the streets. He was not a good person

How awful for you! I know what it's like to have a parent who didn't protect me from abuse, and your own parent inflected terrible abuse on you. Only much counseling got me to a place of peace, at the age of 73. I hope you can reach that place long before that!

Probably without it is better according to this. www.healthline.com/health/alcohol-and-anxiety#consequences

Alcohol can alleviate acute stress, sure, but not chronic stress

ohdear

Frontier Brain Anabel and sometimes you run out of storage or don’t need to remember that certain moment and those balls are thrown away

no one notices it. People leave the moment she finishes sentence.

+KreationKills dad?

+Raiden Noeramrin I don't get it. What am I looking for?

+Andy Liu, try learning a new language, like the video suggested, getting active, and getting social.

@@carolynzhao5393 what if I'm already trilingual, kinda lazy and kinda unsocial? :/

Yes, (as I once read) these are mostly side effects of being too immersed in technology (not blaming you) to a point when your mind doesn't have something in real life to focus on. You can recover by isolating yourself from technology (tv,internet,video games) for some time. You don't necessarily have to "socialize" during this period but you have to find something to really concantrate or think on like learning something that interests you from a book ect. It's always hard at first but than you start to feel that you are alive like you weren't before. Hope it helps. PS: And don't forget that our "mind archives' " growing rate decreases as we age because It's like a more complete library which still grows but with the most necesssary information.

@@tensorflow5777 be more than 3 languages then 😂, or try to draw or paint or play music or learn programming

nope
