Memory is the human brain's recognition, retention, reproduction or re-recognition of things experienced, and it is the basis for high-level mental activities such as thinking and imagining.

Human memory is related to changes in the structure of the brain's hippocampus, the chemistry inside the brain.

Memory, as a basic mental process, is closely related to other mental activities.

Memory is connected to people's mental activities and is the basic function of people's study, work and life. The process of transforming abstract disorder into figurative order is the key to memory.

The study of memory falls under the realm of psychological or brain science.

The study of memory continues, although technology has come a long way.

Using those methods and techniques that can effectively improve memory after practice can make it better for work, life and study.

Why do people lose memories of early childhood?

People often find that many of their childhood memories have disappeared from their minds, while some can still be remembered clearly, why is there such a difference in memory?

The basic process of memory is composed of three parts: recognition, retention, recall, and recognition.

Recognition is the beginning of the memory process, the process of identifying and remembering things, and forming a certain impression.

Retention is a process of reinforcing the content of the knowledge so that it can become a better human experience. Memories and recognisances are two different forms of representation of past experiences.

These three links in the memory process are interrelated and mutually restrictive.

Recognition and recognition are the premise of keeping, and without recall, there will be no recall and recognition, and recall and recognition are indicators to test the effectiveness of recognition and retention, so it seems that these three links of memory are indispensable.

The basic process of memory can also be simply divided into the process of "remembering" and "remembering", "remembering" includes recognizing and retaining, and "remembering" includes recalling and recognizing.

The memory process is the process of encoding, storing and retrieving input information. Only the encoded information can be remembered, and encoding is the process of processing and transforming the input information, and encoding is the key stage of the entire memory process.

Recognition refers to the process of distinguishing the characteristics of things, recognizing them, and leaving a certain impression in the mind.

Some of the things can be achieved through a single perception, while most of the content needs to be repeatedly perceived to make the new information and the existing knowledge structure of the person form a connection.

As the first link of the memory process, recognition and memory have a very important impact on the quality of memory.

Therefore, understanding and mastering the rules of recognition and memory can help improve memory.

Classification of Recognition.

First, according to whether the memory has a purpose, it can be divided into two types: unconscious memory and conscious memory.

Unconscious memorization refers to the recognition that occurs naturally without a predetermined purpose and without a certain amount of volitional effort in the process of memorization.

For example, the pictures and scenes that have been seen, the stories that have been told by others, and certain things that people have experienced, do not have the intention of recognizing them when they perceive them, but these contents can reappear in the mind later, and the recognition of these contents is unconscious.

The content of the unconscious is an important part of the experience, and it also has a significant impact on mental activity and behavior.

What is experienced unintentionally can be helpful as an experience when people are consciously faced with certain situations and dealing with certain problems.

In daily life, the environment in which people live, the people they come into contact with, and the work they do will be imperceptibly affected and change their psychology and behavior.

For example, the cultural traditions of a nation will invisibly affect the psychology of the entire nation and make it have the characteristics of its own culture.

Unconscious memory is extremely selective.

Generally speaking, the content of the unconscious has two characteristics: one is that the stimuli acting on people's sensory organs are of great significance or attract attention.

For example, people will never forget new things, and second, they meet people's needs, interests, and content that can produce deeper emotional experiences. For example, when you participate in the military service, when you go to the first day of military training, etc.

Unconscious memorization has a positive effect on the acquisition of knowledge and experience, and as a general, you should try to let your soldiers learn in this way as pleasantly as possible.

However, unconscious memorization does not guarantee that soldiers will acquire systematic knowledge of culture and science. Therefore, in the process of training, a large amount of memorization content should be obtained through conscious memorization.

Conscious memorization refers to the memorization that has a predetermined purpose and requires a certain amount of volitional effort in the process of memorization.

The process of conscious memorization is carried out under the control of the purpose of memorization.

The purpose of memorization determines that the memorization process is an active encoding process for memorizing content.

This code includes "what to remember" and "how to remember".

"What to remember" determines the direction and content of memorization, and "how to remember" is what method can be adopted to better remember the content to be remembered.

The soldier's memorization during the training process is composed of these two parts. Each day has a certain training purpose and task. Generals usually give explanations first, so that the soldiers have the intention to memorize and remember the new knowledge with a positive attitude.

In order to better remember what the generals said, some soldiers listened attentively, that is, memorized by heart, and some adopted the method of combining memorization with symbols.

All of people's knowledge and experience is acquired through conscious and unconscious memorization. However, in terms of the effect of recognition, conscious memory is better than unconscious memory.

As a general, understanding this law of memorization will help strengthen the management of the purpose of soldiers' learning in the process of training and teaching, and it is necessary to reasonably assign tasks to soldiers so as to achieve good teaching and learning results.

Second, according to whether the material is understood at the time of recognition, recognition can be divided into mechanical recognition and meaning recognition.

Mechanical memorization refers to the recognition of the material itself by mechanical repetition in the order of the material without intrinsic connection or without understanding its meaning.

For example, the recognition of meaningless sounds, place names, personal names, historical eras, etc. This kind of memory is passive, but it prevents the distortion of the memory material.

For soldiers, this kind of memorization is also necessary, because there are some training contents that do need to be memorized accurately, such as the height of mountains, the length of rivers, etc.

There are also some contents that are limited to the knowledge and experience of the soldiers, and it is impossible to truly understand their meaning, but this knowledge is important for future marching battles, and should also be memorized mechanically.

In fact, there are very few purely mechanical memories, and people always try to make sense of the material as much as possible in the process of memorization.

According to information processing theory, individuals should encode any input information as best as possible according to their own experience system or mental pattern.

For example, remembering numbers is not simply repeating and memorizing, but using homophony or finding patterns to make them meaningful.

Meaning memorization is also called comprehension memorization.

Meaning recognition is based on the understanding of the content of the material and the internal connection of the material.

In the recognition of meaning, understanding is the key.

Understanding is a kind of processing of materials, which reflects the connotation of materials and the relationship between various parts of materials through analysis, comparison and synthesis according to people's existing knowledge and experience.

Since meaning memorization requires more mental energy, it is a more complex mental process than mechanical memorization.

Meaning memorization should be the main form of soldier memorization.

Forgetting refers to the phenomenon that the material that has been memorized cannot be recalled and recognized, or that the recall and recognition are incorrect.

According to the perspective of information processing, the process of forgetting exists at different stages of memory.

Forgetting is basically a normal, rational psychological phenomenon.

Because it is not necessary to memorize all the things that have been perceived, the importance of memorizing materials is time-sensitive, and it is necessary for people's mental health and normal life.

Although forgetting is a complex psychological phenomenon, its occurrence and development also have certain laws.

The process of forgetting is uneven, the amount of forgetting is relatively large in the initial period after memorization, and then gradually decreases, that is, the speed of forgetting is first fast and then slow.
