Atypical memory

Introduction

Human memory is considered as the most vital organ of the human body, as it played an important part in the effective implementation of individual every day objectives, for instance, accomplishment of professional task, accomplishment of schoolwork, remembering of important events, and several others(Brace & Ilona, 2002). An individual is entirely dependent on his memory, and in case of memory loss, it could become a moment of embarrassment, irritating, can lead to severe consequences, and at the time of memory loss individual tends to forget the way they have used it, and the role memory has played in the personal accomplishment.

Humans are aware of the existence of the memory in their brain because of continuous learning of different objects at a particular time, and there remembrance for long period(Brace & Ilona, 2002). An individual is observed of remembering memory in various aspects for instance, I have failed because my memory has led me down, or my memory is not excellent as yours, and in several other ways.

Human memory is further divided into two subsection that are long-term memory, and short-term memory, that plays a vital role in the accomplishment of human lives. A well known psychologist have describe that long-term portion of the memory should be further subdivided into episodic component that will be used for remembering of temporary events, dates, and others, on the other hand the semantic portion of the memory will use to remember the long-term objects such as general knowledge of the world (Brace & Ilona, 2002) . For the above description, it is clear that both of the sub memory parts are entirely different from each other in terms of their functioning.

However, it was argued by one of the researcher that constant remembrance of episodic experience are extremely important for the ...
