Memory is a habit of our brain, in which any information is saved in our mind and whenever we need any information, we encode this information from memory.
Like there is a lot of information saved in our brain, which is both good and bad information. But if we start speaking all the memory at the same time, then nothing will be understood. That's why we encode the information from memory that we need at any moment and then use that information.
If we talk about that, is theory any type of memory which we can separate different information in different in different brain cells. Then yes!
Immediate Memory
Memory whose time period is too short, like 1 to 2 second. Scientists believe that what we dream is for a very short period of time, which happens in seconds and then we forget it.
For example, you bought a theater ticket to see a movie and got your tickets checked and then after that you have no concern to remember the number of that ticket.
Short Term Memory
Its time period is slightly more than Immediate memory.
For example, You gave your exam, and after one or two days of giving the exam, you forget the question paper of that exam.
Or your mother asked you to bring medicine and you forgot it shortly after taking the medicine. That's called Short Term Memory.
According to research, a person takes 35 thousand messages in a day, but only a few messages they save and forget the rest.
Long Term Memory
The name itself suggests that information that has been saved in our brain for a long time.
For example, Like an event has happened and you are a part of that event, or have anyone got married or you were awarded from somewhere. So this type of information is saved in our mind as a strong memory.
Flashbulb Memory
Information that reminds you of a sudden memory.
As if someone you know has died and you suddenly remember such things regarding that guys, which never tried to get that information before. And this information was already saved in your mind which you just remembered suddenly from his death.
Sensory Memory
The information that we store from the surrounding in our brain by our sensation(eyes, nose, ear and more). This information that goes into our brain through our senses, is done by sensory memory.
When you get out of the house, you get to see a lot of objects, a lot of sounds are heard, and a lot of fragrances you smelled, this is all the information you get through your sense organ.
Can you take all these information together in mind?
Can not, it is not possible.
So what do you do, which is important, which is relevant, it stays in your mind and those who are not relevant, those who have not any specific purpose, do not save your mind and take out that information. And this work does sensory memory.
When you see something, do you just see it, don't you pay attention to its details?
When you see an object, you also see its size whether it is big or small, and also see its shape and texture and colour.
When you hear a voice, you also feel its loudness, that was it more and less, what was its pitch and tone.
So in this way, the sensory memory gives detailed information to our brain and this is an automatic response.
You cannot change or manipulate the information you are getting.
Suppose you see an object and you focus on that object for a second and then close your eyes, so when you close your eyes, you see that the image of that object is still in front of your eyes, which stays for a mini second. This is your sensory memory. This memory that later goes into short term memory.
