In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

In recent decades, a convergence of cognitive psychology and educational research has provided compelling evidence for the adoption of evidence-based learning strategies aimed at enhancing memory ...

As researchers try to build more complex computers that get closer to emulating the way the human brain works, one of the areas of focus is memory. Existing chips, hard disks and tape drives are great ...

Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after ...

Facts and ideas can be mapped in ways that show how they relate to each other. The map drawing usually begins with outlined notes, because few people can think fast enough to construct a map in ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Some researchers suggest these are not distinct types of memory, but rather stages of memory. In this view, memory begins in sensory memory, transitions to short-term memory, and then may move to long ...
