Scientific research has shown that the human brain starts remembering things from the womb—memory begins to work 20 weeks after conception.
Memory has two components—short term and long term.
Memory is influenced by a variety of factors. Memory based on what you saw vs what you hear is called visual and auditory memory.
The storage capacity of the human brain is virtually limitless.
Caffeine doesn’t maintain memory performances, it only increases alertness.
It is believed that an adult can remember twenty to one hundred thousand words.
Sleep is important to memory. Although scientists don’t know exactly how it affects the brain, it has been shown that sleep aids storage and retrieval of long-term memories.
Many people associate memory loss with aging. However, the memory loss we see the older we get is generally because we tend to exercise our brains less as we age.
Your memory can associate a scent with a certain event or occurrence. A smell can trigger the memory in your mind associated with it. The hippocampus is the part of the brain largely responsible for the formation of new memories and directly interacts with our sense of smell.
There is such a thing as “false memory”. Researchers are beginning to understand that the human mind can create, exaggerate, distort, or re-invent a memory after a traumatic experience or something that impacted them greatly.
The mind must be exercised just like any other muscle in the body. The harder you think about a memory, the more likely you are to remember it accurately. Thinking will create a stronger link between active neurons.
We are more likely to remember the information that is provided if it is in a weird, difficult-to-read font.

River Ure, Sleningford Mill, near Ripon.
The Ure, while being very beautiful
Is the most dangerous of rivers.
The water flows off the high moors
causing to Ure to rise quickly,
it catches people unawares.
We first came here in the 1970’s
when our son became a canoeist.
We loved the deep, darkness of the
fast flowing river. It is full of rich
peatiness colouring it brown.
The site where the tents and
caravans parked was dense
with trees, tall grasses and flowers
making it a mysterious wonderland.
small animals and birds abounded.
Now, in 2017, we went for a day
down memory lane when our
active grandson celebrated his
entry into his teenage years by
competing in his first slalom.
The place and the River Ure,
still, has its magic hold over us.
Maybe more bushes line the
riverbanks, the bigger trees
more mature and autumnal.
The canoeing is still the same,
enthusiastic paddlers, even more
enthusiastic parents shepherding
their water-bound children.
A new crop of race officials.
The unseen army of course designers,
the team of people who erect the course.
The kitchen team who feed everyone.
The Judges, who sit on the bank
timing and score the competitors.
It was a special day for us,
a great occasion communing
with our past and delight that
Grandson is following his much
admired Uncle down the River.
NOTE: Our son David, was 11 years of age when he became a member of Leeds Canoe Club. Our Grandson Louis is 13 years old and is a member of West Yorkshire Canoe Club and the Mad Paddlers Group.
