o be able to perform simple task that everyone takes for granted? Such diseases are called agnosia and dissociative disorder. In order to understand these problems one must understand the different parts of memory and what is affected. There is much evidence of the existence of short and long-term memory. Most disorders of the mind stem from the inability of the mind to transfer signals from short to long-term memory. Memory is conceived as a transfer of information between short-term and long-term memory. What factor must be present in order for a person memory to work incorrectly? An average person forgets things on a regular basis and that can be attributed to the breakdown in information transfer in the brain. Scientist explains that the best way to remember things is by rehearsal. Through this technique people can remember information presented with a higher rate accuracy. However this leaves little or no evidence to the reason of why people forget things. This is attributed to a break down in the transfer of memory. Short-term memory is broken down into three main parts. These parts are also broken down into a few sub categories. The three main parts in short-term memory are visual STM, auditory STM, and working memory. A reason for the acceptance that there are many different types of memory such as short and long-term memory is because they’re too much information to be processed at one time and it has to be filtered through different processes. This is where short-term memory fits in. The memory system does a few different things. First it takes an experience and decides whether it is worth remembering, then it translates into a representation it can understand and then it sends to memory to save it for a long or short amount of time and retrieves it when it is called upon. Short-term memory is the ability of the brain to remember things for a short amount of time and decide whether it is worth remembe...
