How does your brain decide what to remember?
Why is it that I can remember little unimportant events that happened in my childhood over 20 years ago, but I can’t remember what I wore last Monday? I know major events or traumatic events that happened in your life your brain will remember for years, but I can remember one particular day sitting in my elementary school classroom listening to the teacher talk about some uninteresting fact. I cannot remember any other days immediately surrounding this one event. So, I’m a just wondering if any of you science minded folks know how your brain decides which little events to pick out from your past and store permanently in your memory?
This is a very interesting question. I am an MD, and as such we are tasked to know huge volumes of data at a moment’s notice, so this subject is dear to my heart.
There was a study with rats in a maze that gave the “study” rats a little unpleasant electric shock every time they came to a fork in the road and had to make a decision. The shock was always given regardless of whether the rat’s decision was correct or incorrect. The “control” rats were just given the same maze to learn in just the usual way, to get to the food. Guess what! The rats who where electrically shocked learned the maze over twice as fast! The conclusion of the authors is that excitement and/or stress greatly enhanced learning, and therefore memory, at least in rats. So I believe that we remember things better when there is a little adrenalin pumping, either good (excited) or bad (stressed).
