  • Today's video is all about

  • memory.

  • If you are anything like me you don't have the best

  • of memories so let's explain why that is.

  • In this facts in five I'm going to explain everything

  • that you need to know about memory

  • in five minutes or less.

  • Today we're reaching deep into the brain and pulling

  • out a ton of information about how we recall things

  • and possibly how to become better

  • at remembering those things.

  • And like I said if you're anything like me

  • you're going to need this information.

  • This is facts in five, all about memory.

  • So what is memory?

  • I'm glad you asked Imma tells ya.

  • Memory is the process within the brain where

  • information is encoded, stored, and then retrieved

  • when something is required to be remembered.

  • Think of your brain almost like an advanced hard drive

  • with the sequence of events that goes as follows.

  • First you encounter the information through one or more

  • of your various senses.

  • We got something here time to store it.

  • Second this information is sorted and coded,

  • that's to say changed to fit properly into the storage

  • within your mind.

  • It's kind of like clicking save on your computer.

  • Third the information is then stored into the right parts

  • of the brain and maintained there so that it's easy

  • to recall.

  • Oh I've seen that guy before,

  • Mike.

  • And finally when your brain is cued to retrieve that

  • information, that stored memory is then accessed

  • and thus you remember what happened.

  • Yes that's right your brain is basically like

  • a very powerful super computer

  • only exponentially more powerful.

  • You're basically like a mini robot.

  • Who has the best memory?

  • Not me, that's for sure.

  • While there is no actual scientific evidence of

  • photographic memories being a real ability in people,

  • many people are blessed with

  • an absolute incredible recollection.

  • There is something called eidetic memory which is

  • found in only about 10% of children under the age of six

  • which allows the individual to recall visual information in

  • great detail after only being exposed to it for a very

  • short time.

  • This ability is incredibly rare however,

  • if the child's ability is nurtured and encouraged,

  • the child can actually maintain their eidetic memory

  • however this is even more rare.

  • The reason that the kids that do have it lose it,

  • is because verbal skills often alter their memory process.

  • In other words more talky-talky, less thinky-thinky.

  • Where do memories go?

  • There are actually three types of memory your brain

  • can record.

  • Sensory memory, short term memory,

  • and of course long term memory.

  • Sensory memory is created in less than one second

  • after an item is perceived and is an automatic response.

  • Like when you see the booty.

  • Or a better example would be like if a bird flew swiftly by,

  • it would be your ability to recall what it looked like

  • only moments later due to your short term sensory memory.

  • Then there's short term memory,

  • the capacity of which is small but allows temporary

  • storage of small amounts of data.

  • Say like a phone number that you just heard on the radio.

  • Then in contrast to that there's long term memory.

  • That can store information as long as you're alive.

  • It's the important things like your parent's names,

  • birthday's, friend's phone numbers and addresses

  • that you've known for a long time,

  • stuff like that.

  • In addition to the amount of time that memories are stored,

  • short term encodes information acoustically while

  • long term encodes it semantically.

  • In other words, one is related to your hearing

  • and the other is the ability to relate words to things.

  • So when are memories influenced?

  • See that was weird that's going to influence your memory,

  • you're going to remember that.

  • Seriously though there are a number of factors that

  • can influence how well our memories work

  • or how quickly they can encode information into our

  • long term memories.

  • Some of these factors include the nutrients from

  • the food that you eat, how much sleep that you get,

  • your emotional state when you perceive the information,

  • any alcohol or drugs in your system,

  • and your familiarity with your surroundings

  • just to name some.

  • Interestingly our smell has been directly linked to

  • the creation of memories,

  • that's why for example when you smell somebody's

  • cologne, if you smell that same cologne five years later,

  • you'll remember that person.

  • Farts can have the same affect,

  • but it's a much less pleasant flashback.

  • So why is it sometimes hard to remember things?

  • Yep, I need to know this one.

  • Improving your memory isn't necessarily about

  • expanding your brain to hold more data,

  • it's about teaching yourself new ways to recall

  • those memories.

  • According to multiple researchers,

  • eating healthy, exercising, and sleeping right are

  • the basics for a good memory.

  • Additionally, taking on one task at a time instead

  • of wearing yourself thin and eliminating as much

  • stress as possible from your life will also benefit you.

  • And finally, learning new ways to store information

  • can be a great benefit such mnemonic devices

  • which is something that I used to use in grade school.

  • For example, 30 days has September, April, June,

  • and November.

  • All the rest have 31 save February minus two carry the six,

  • okay they work most of the time.

  • Ah yeah speaking of things to remember,

  • remember to press that red subscribe button

  • so that you can subscribe to my channel and

  • catch my next video, I upload every Tuesday and Saturday.

  • And also remember to add me to Twitter,

  • Snapchat, and Instagram because that's where I post

  • all my food pictures and things to remind me

  • what I did during the day.

  • It's primarily what I use social media for.

  • Anyway, have a good day, bye.
