Memory in humans
The ability to store information so that it can be called up later is called memory. The recording of the information is the impressing, while the act of recalling is termed remembering. Without memory, there would be no learning. The material foundation of memory is the totality of all nerve cells and the brain.
The memory does not work like an electronic storage device that permanently holds the recorded information. The details of how the information storage occurs by and large remain unclear.
In humans, three types of memory can be identified. The ultra short-term memory keeps information up to approximately 20 seconds. The short-term memory stores information for a maximum of one to two hours, though its storage capacity is limited. In long-term memory, information is retained for up to a lifetime.
