As long as it doesn't happen regularly, there's absolutely no reason to worry. Because our short-term memory is to blame. As the name suggests, it only keeps information up to date for a short time and quickly overwrites it with new impressions. Sometimes this takes a few minutes, but many thoughts disappear after just a few seconds. Incidentally, short-term memory is now only referred to as working memory in recent studies. These studies have shown that the brain functions differently than older studies assumed. Information is also processed in the short-term memory and not simply temporarily stored. However, it has a very limited capacity. This is why information is quickly forgotten or not forgotten but passed on. It's like office work. If you find a file, it is either archived or dismissed as useless. Then the information goes in the trash. That's exactly what our brain does with sensory impressions and short thoughts: forward them or throw them in the trash. Intelligence influences short-term memory Modern studies report that a normal brain can usually store around 4 objects in short-term memory. If something new is then added, old information must either be archived in long-term memory or completely overwritten. This is usually the information that has been in the short-term memory the longest at that time and was not classified as important. Ultimately important for everyone: At this point, the intelligence of each individual determines the performance of the short-term memory. Some people are naturally able to store more objects in their short-term memory and then benefit from this additional memory performance. This is how our short-term memory works The selection of what is important and what is quickly deleted can be influenced. Otherwise, learning would not work at all. This is because constant repetition when learning ensures that a certain piece of information ends up in the working memory again and again. Until the working memory decides that the information must obviously be important. It is precisely this effect that ensures that experts appear to have a better understanding of a topic. The information absorbed is usually the same, but those who repeatedly train their brain to deal with this and similar information improve their interpretation of the stimuli. A text can then be read more quickly or a conclusion can be reached more quickly than with people who have not yet trained their brains to deal with this type of information stimuli. In short: it is also a question of "training". Just as you can train a muscle, you can also train your brain. ▬ About this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With “Video Visit Dr. Weigl” you have found the current and medical-scientific channel that describes topics relating to pain, #medicine and #health in an understandable way but based on facts, guidelines and studies. ▬ Even more videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ What is Alzheimer's?
