MemoryMemory is the form of mental ability of the human organism to retain, store and retrieve information. Memory makes possible to store and analyze information about the events of the environment and use it in the sphere of consciousness for organizing the subsequent activity.
There are several types of memory: neurologic, genetic, immune and social memory. However, usually memory is divided into sensory, short-term and long-term memory. The sensory memory retains an exact event or place of what has been seen or heard. It is considered that sensory memory lasts for nearly 300-500 milliseconds. Sensory memory can be forgotten or transferred into short-term memory. Short-term memory means retrieving information related to recent events. Some studies proven that short-term memory is 7 bit in length, meaning ability to remember 7 items. Usually these items are forgotten , however, some of them can be transferred into long-term memory and are stored there for a long time or even the whole life.
