Science Explanation
At school, for this past term we have been doing science. We had to do our experiment and then write and explanation about it. Here is my explanation, let me know your favorite memory and what you learnt.
The main science behind it is the verbal memory aid, known as mnemonic. Mnemonic is a system you can use with your memory to sort ideas, patterns, letters and associations of a word to remember things. So if someone said to remember a hat, your mnemonic system would be thinking of words that you would associate with it to remember the word. For example head. Now when you think of head you are reminded of the word to remember, hat. That’s how you can help your hippo campus to remember things.
Your hippo campus is in the stem of your brain, it is basically the control center of your memories. It is located within the brains medial temporal lobe, the hippo campus is used mainly with memory.
So the word you were told to remember is stored in the hippo campus and triggered by the associated words or sayings but what does the brain do to actually retrieve your memory?
