Information transfer to long term memory is believed to be based on criteria such as sense and meaning (Bein, & Maril, 2014).

After a brief delay, the average person can only recall about 5-9 numbers. Short-term memory has a limited storage capacity, only holding information for a few seconds to a minute.

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers from Stanford University and Yale University have explored the interplay between short-term and long-term memory in animals.

In an interview, Dr. Mahesh Gour discusses how memory works and offers practical tips for students to improve recall.

A new survey of 312 neuroscientists reveals strong support for synaptic connectivity as the basis of long-term memory, but deep divides remain over memory extraction and brain emulation feasibility.

Explore how Google’s Memory Bank transforms AI with long-term memory, adaptive storage, and personalized interactions for smarter systems.

Working memory modulation from traumatic events can leave a person with post-traumatic stress feeling even more helpless, ...

Encoding failures happen when information never properly enters long-term memory storage, often because attention was divided during the initial learning process.

Researchers have long wished to understand the connection between sleep and memory, especially how the brain encodes long-term memories during slow-wave sleep (while discarding others), or the ...
