What is memory? It is a storage place for all the things which form an individual – memory, body and genes.
This informative book about the brain and memory will excite readers as it answers questions that may have been a floating fog in their mind.
Suitable for all ages, it consists of animated illustrations, and entertaining prose in a light-hearted tone.
Where do memories go? In Our Marvelous Memory, we can solve these complex queries surrounding the brain and its functions.
Short, and long-term memories, are sorted the way we sort clothes and papers and other things that go into individual compartments. The way the information here, is sorted on the page.The compartments that store the different types of memory are the visual, echoic, implicit and explicit. The memories that aren’t immediately necessary get filed away.
Memories for long term storage are the responsibility of the Cerebral Cortex.
Habits and skills learnt are stored in the implicit memory.
The adult brain is worse than a child’s at storing information that lacks association.
The brain is always wary of overload. Why and how does this happen?
This for many, is unknown territory. We venture into it tentatively but eager to find the reasons for behaviour that remains to us, an unsolved mystery.
Durable pages promise longevity. The design and presentation are superb, with every inch of space utilized.
If you want to boost your memory, and/or conserve what you have, there are lots of valuable suggestions and solutions in this brilliant book.
There is an additional listing of further reading at the end with a breakdown of the brain’s areas and the name and role of each part, presented in detail.
This is another in a series of collaborations on non-fiction picture books between these two creators, that have used a unique approach to making learning enjoyable for children, and lovers of children's books.
