Cognitive science identifies six habits to boost memory: forming connections using mnemonics, per Journal of Experimental ...

Among the many types of information your memory system uses to decide what to remember, new research suggests social ...

Memory involves encoding, storing, retaining and subsequently recalling information and past experiences.

These findings not only deepen our understanding of memory encoding and retrieval but also provide insights into the hippocampus’s role as a coordinator and its interaction with the neocortex.

Despite a century of research, memory encoding in the brain has remained mysterious. Neuronal synaptic connection strengths are involved, but synaptic components are short-lived while memories last ...

From there, decisions are made about what gets stored in our long-term memory and, in turn, what gets discarded. Writing improves that encoding process.

Using positron emission tomography, we show that bilateral amygdala activity during memory encoding is correlated with enhanced episodic recognition memory for both pleasant and aversive visual ...
