Today introduce the fourth psychological card: Memory
Definition : Memory is a ability to store and extract information; it is a reflection of past experience in the mind.
Category
Sensory memory: Stimulation acts on transient memory caused by sensory organs. It usually refers to about 1 second, also called instant memory. The instant memory time is extremely short, and a large amount of noticeable information can easily disappear, and only things that can be remembered enter short-term memory.
Short-term memory: refers to a memory system that stores a small amount of information in a short period of time. It is generally considered to be a working memory in a stage between sensory memory and long-term memory. It usually maintains the memory for no more than one minute.
Long time memory: refers to a memory that information has been processed in a certain amount of depth and is retained in the brain for a long time. Its storage time ranges from several days to several years or even for a lifetime.

The following is a classic effect in memory research: Series position effect
1 Series position effect refers to the impact of the position of the memory material in the series of positions on the memory effect, including the primary effect and proximal effect.
For example, in English morning reading, your task today's morning reading is to memorize 30 words from a certain unit. You start memorizing from the first one and memorizing until the last one. After class, you go to have breakfast. After breakfast, you start to recall these words. You will find that you have a very good memory of the first few words ( primary effect, primacy effect, primacy effect, 4), and the memory of the last few words is also very good ( proximal effect, 4), while the memory effect of the words memorized in the middle is quite poor. As shown in the figure below.
What interesting things will happen in life if the primary and proximal effects are applied to life?
In real life, the primacy effect, that is, the first first impression of others formed, often affects our views on him in the future. It is not difficult to understand why so many people attach importance to impression management ! Who doesn’t want to get positive reviews from others?
Next The near-cause effect often happens to people we are familiar with, such as your roommate smokes, drinks, perm his hair and stays up late to play games, but in recent days, he has quit smoking, quit drinking, and his work and rest are also regular. In this way, your impression of him will undergo a big change.
Finally, I shared a recent hot search:
A few days ago, there was a hot search on Weibo: "Please don't beautify Alzheimer's disease anymore."
should not beautify. The moderate dementia stage can cause aphasia, , apraxia and agnosia. Losing recognition alone is enough to make people feel extremely distressed. Think about it, he cannot recognize his wife, children, friends, etc. All the connections about family, love and friendship are deprived, and the familiar environment suddenly becomes unfamiliar, and for him, his world loses its color and warmth.
