29 THE BRAIN AND MEMORY Information can be verbal, visual, tactile, olfactory, or emotional. Different kind of information are received, processed, and stored in different locations: Most of our memories are stored in the cortex (the outer part) of the brain. The left side of the brain is involved more in verbal memory and the right side more in visual memory. Short-term memory processing takes place in the frontal lobe. The process of recording new memories takes place in the temporal lobes. Visual information enters the brain through our eyes and is processed at the back of the brain, in a place called the occipital lobe. Auditory information comes in through the ears and is processed by the temporal lobes. Spatial information is also processed in the parietal lobe, the top part of the brain. There are also special areas that are involved in language, processing emotional memory, and forming habits. In the next chapter, we will learn how information should be fed into the brain so that we can harness its maximum potential. It’s just like learning to arrange various things in the almirah so as to utilize the available space in the best possible manner.
2 30 ATTENTION—A KEY TO MEMORY Do you remember the day you bought your first car? Or met your life partner for the first time? Or won a medal in school? Well, I am sure you remember that special day in complete detail. Isn’t it surprising that without any knowledge of memory techniques, you are able to remember an event that happened years ago whereas if I ask you about the clothes you wore last Monday, your mind will go blank? Well, there are many situational and natural factors that affect our efficiency of remembering things. Memory has two principal components to it: Recording and Recalling. When new information is safely ‘embedded’ in the brain, we say it has been ‘recorded’. The recorded information needs to be ‘recalled’ to say that we have ‘memorized’ that information. Stored information that cannot be recalled is like things thrown into a bottomless pit—it is there, but one doesn’t know where.
