The memory phenomenon became the object of scientific studies not so long ago. Nevertheless, psychologists managed to character short-term and long-term memory while also making some other discoveries.
One of them is the explained difference between procedural and declarative memory. The first one is more stable because it helps us remember how to execute motor functions.
The second discovery shows that it is easier to recognize information that to recall it. This explains it is much more difficult to remember how a person looks like and so easy to identify him when talking face to face.
Further studies also showed how our brain contains information. It is thought that every time we put something into our long-term memory a new pattern of nerve cells occur. This pattern makes a pathway for nerve impulses to travel. This is how our memories are being coded.
The memory researchers had been successful in making some discoveries but they agree that there are much more unanswered questions. One of them is to understand how different brain parts work together in giving us conscious experience.
