Everyone doesn’t
acquire the same working memory, some people can retain data in brain for a
long time, on the other hand, some will forget after a short time.
What Can Affect Your Working Memory? |
Here are the 3
types of memory:
• Sensory memory:
It’s a kind of
memory in which an individual can retain impulses of sensory information
instantly after the stimulus received.
For example, you
are busy typing on your PC suddenly you come to feel a slight itching on any of
your body part you will rub it and feel satisfied. We can say that it’s a
process which completed in Nanoseconds.
Do you remember
after two days where you felt itching?
No, because sensory
memory will not remain in mind it will be gone after receiving the stimulus.
• Short term memory:
Short term memory
will stay in your mind for 20 seconds. It will not be remembered by you after a
few days or even after a few hours in fact.
For example,
somebody gives you his address in which street, house and contact number is
included, you will repeat it by yourself for 2 to 3 times. After writing it on
any paper you will not be going to repeat it. Eventually, it will lose from
your brain after a few hours. If you want to recall it again you have to revise
it were you written this.
Some surveys
suggested that after recalling the same line for many times it may store in
your mind for a long time.
• Long term memory:
As the name tells
that it’s a kind of memory which will be kept in mind for a long time and
cannot be forgotten easily.
For instance, if
you attended a wedding ceremony of your Sibling and after some years anybody
comes to you and ask we met at that ceremony and you come to remember yes we
already met.
So this will remain
in your brain until you suffer any working memory loss or brain injury etc.
What causes working memory loss and forgetfulness? Following are some reasons why people suffer
working memory shortage.
• Deficiency of vitamin
B-12
• Anxiety and
depression
• Brain disorder
• Usage of drugs or
health supplements for a long time
• Not paying
concentration on what’s going around
• Disorder of the
thyroid gland
