Human memory, formerly believed to be inefficient is really more sophisticated than of a computer Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally
supposed Dr Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating their brains electrically, he could elicit the total
recall of specific events in his subjects’ lives Even dreams and other minor events supposedly forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail
The memory trace is the term for whatever is the internal representation of the specific information about the event stored I the memory Assumed to have been made by structural changes in the brain, the memory trace is not subject to direct observation but is rather a theoretical construct that we use to speculate about how information presented at a particular time can cause performance at a later time Most theories include the strength of the memory trace as variable in the degree of learning, retention, and retrieval possible for a memory One theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity Repeated references to the same information support recall
Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory
