There must have been an lot of discoverys about memory, since this 'gogo' topic was first discussed here, 5 years ago.
Seems if you have a reason to continually revise something, it is going to become part of your 'long term memory' anyway?
My experience is, that 'long term memory' is better imprinted while you are young. ie School memory's.
And what about Short term memory?...Well I can hardly rem what I did last week.
An Australian study, which was published in the latest edition of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology recently. Found that people grumbling their way through the grimness of winter, have better recall than those enjoying a carefree sunny day.
A Sydney news agency was used by the University of New South Wales research team to test whether people's moods had an impact on their ability to remember small details.
The team placed 10 small items on the shop counter and quizzed shoppers about what they remembered seeing upon their exit.
Joseph Forgas, lead researcher for the team, said subjects were able to remember three times as many items on cold, windy, rainy days when there was somber classical music playing as they were when conditions were sunny and bright.
I also wrote here in 'scggogo' sometime ago, about cocktails of "Memory Enhancers" that some College Students take before examinations, as well as 'Mnemonics', as used to help in memory recall.
Then again a few lucky people seem to have perfect memory recall
after hearing or reading something,....just the once.
Again, every one of us if subjected a real frightening experience just the once...seem to have great difficulty in ever forgetting it how ever-hard we try.
