disease effects brain memory and also brain function. This happens because the brain cells slowly begin to die off. Normally when our brain cells die off, new ones take their place. For Alzheimer’s patients this is not the case. The dead cells are never replaced by new ones. This is what causes the memory loss and the loss of brain function. Most of the time Alzheimer’s patients will remember long past memories but not short term memories. Alzheimer’s disease isn’t just about the memory loss and…

Based off of conducted research, eyewitness memory used in testimonies is one of the most persuasive forms of evidence that is presented in court, but the facts are rather doubtful.

However, the awareness and recognition of misinformation could resist its deleterious effects on memory. The experiment of…

Memory is essential to all our cognitive activities as we use memory to retrieve and maintain information after certain period of time.

In order to start this test it was divided into two parts. First they asked twenty employees from a store to give their normal heart rates as a baseline for the research. This data was used as a baseline for the…

How long does it take you to remember something? If you are cramming for a test do you feel like you remember things faster? If I give a participant an easy fifty word essay, then how long would it take for the participant to remember and recite it? Are there any tactics that help your brain store information better?

Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel, a political activist and professor stated “Without memory there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no emotion, no society, and no future.” Our memories allow us to filter, imagine, preserve, share, and develop our experiences with others and to ourselves.
