Scientists have pinpointed a mechanism that is essential for forming memories in the first place and, as it turns out, is equally essential for eliminating them after memories have formed. MEMORY: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=memory

A Northwestern University study provides the first biological evidence that bilinguals' rich experience with language "fine-tunes" their auditory nervous system and helps them juggle linguistic input in ways that enhance attention and working memory.

Imagination is the ability to form mental images, phonological passages, analogies, or narratives of something that is not perceived through our senses. Imagination is a manifestation of our memory and enables us to scrutinize our past and construct hypothetical future scenarios that do not yet, but could exist. Imagination also gives us the ability to see things from other points of view and empathize with others.

"Water -- just a liquid or much more? Many researchers are convinced that water is capable of "memory" by storing information and retrieving it. The possible applications are innumerable: limitless retention and storage capacity and the key to discovering the origins of life on our planet. Research into water is just beginning."

In the 21st Century everyone thinks that smartphones turn your brain into "mush". A new study in the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation that it might not be true. They studied 10 people who had bad memory, each person was given a phone. This showed that smartphones help improve peoples day-to-day memory. |

Your mind wants to know what comes next. It wants to finish. It wants to keep working – and it will keep working even if you tell it to stop. All through those other tasks, it will subconsciously be remembering the ones it never got to complete. Articles about MEMORY: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=memory

Why we tend to predict rosy times ahead... A new study from the January issue of Psychological Science may explain why we are all so optimistic about what’s to come. The authors report that people tend to remember imagined future scenarios that are happy better than they recall the unhappy ones.

Cognitive training including puzzles, handicrafts and life skills are known to reduce the risk, and help slow down the progress, of dementia amongst the elderly. A new study published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Medicine showed that cognitive training was able to improve reasoning, memory, language and hand eye co-ordination of healthy, older adults.

An ecosystem is a good model because it treats memory as something that lives in the mind. For those interested in learning how advertising works to create branded memories, it sets a new kind of agenda for asking research questions, particularly for researchers in the new area of marketing neuroscience.
