To remember any thong, you must first learn. When new information is learned, or acquired, it first takes the form of temporary pathways of nerve cell activity in the brain as one neuron communication with the next.
The locations of the neuronal pathways depends on the nature of the information.
For example, activities such as speaking and writing activate neurons on the left temporal lobe, which processes language for most people where as studying a map probably activates neurons in the right parietal lobe, which processes spatial information.
The neuronal activity that represents the information you’ve just learned is temporary and the new information is part of your short term memory.
The memories that endure all be those that were encoded most completely in the first place or the information that you paid the closest attention to when you learned it.
When you have trouble remember a piece of information, it’s often because you weren’t paying close attention when you initially encountered it.
One of the reason older people have more trouble remembering things is that they are more easily distracted by background noises and other interruptions which can interfere with initial learning.
Memories that affect many of the senses as well as the emotions often are more likely to be retained.
