Tesseract Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 What part of the brain is used when we want (are trying) to remember something? I know stimulus can cause us to remember somthing, but how do we think about remembering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 So then is hippocampus (checked the spelling this time) satisfactory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverse Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 umm... I think , when you admit a memory it gets tagged with several types of data, visual..smell...texture...emotion...meaning etc....so it's not stored in one area alone. is that what you mean?

Tesseract Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 No, not accessing memory, but trying to remember. Like trying to remember the name of someone. What part of the brain would be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peels Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 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.

Tesseract Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 I think I found a way to saymy question correctly: which part of the brain is in charge of retrieving memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
