Recollection


Recommended Posts

What part of the brain is used when we want (are trying) to remember something?

If I remember correctly from psychology, that part of the brain is known as the hypocampus.

 

I know stimulus can cause us to remember somthing, but how do we think about remembering?

I don't exactly understand what that is asking.

I think it called "working memory". Working memory processes and encordes the "name of someone". The "name" will be held in the working memory store for short time. However, for long term use, you have to save it into "temporary memory" - hippocampus while awake; and pass it to the long-term memory when sleep. Check this paper :)
